Do you guys wear leather jackets at home?

[newtojackets]

If you were at home for the day and know your not going out, would you still wear a leather jacket or choose something more comfortable e.g. a hoodie? Why / why not?

Obviously not looking for a right answer, just interesting to hear different viewpoints

Absolutely,, the family think I'm nuts, but with around 30 jackets, it makes sense to me

 

[MrProper]

If I have a jacket new, then it already happens that I wear it at home. Even when I'm in the office, it can be that I do not take off my jackets.

 

[Canuck Panda]

I wear my jackets watching TV every night.

 

[Carlos840]

I don't do it with old broken in jackets, but when i have a new jacket i break it in wearing it at home....

 

[Tom71]

No.

I wear leather jackets at home sometimes, but oftentimes I'm just chilling in my sweats at home. When it's cool enough in my office to permit wearing them, I will do it there. Most social engagements, weather and decorum permitting, I will try to wear a leather jacket. I don't have a massive rotation, still working on my collection (only 3 right now), so the impetus to put some wear on pieces on a daily basis isn't as strong for me as others. From 2021-22 I bought and sold/returned 8 different leather jackets; none were keepers for me. I'm trying to be more selective and learn from my mistakes and experiences.

guilty as charged. I might scar you with this visual, but in the dead of summer, boxer shorts and a leather jacket LOL.

Like most said though, mostly if it's brand new and I'm trying to get some wears on it. This year with some of the IH flannels purchases I made, I started wearing flannels instead most of the time. Much more comfortable LOL.

I don't usally simply because it's too warm to wear them comfortably and a thin merino is more conveniant.
Exeption wearing in sleeves using the waterspray method.

I wear a hoodie. They’re super comfortable to lounge around in. My leather jackets are for outside and motorcycle riding.

Lol, I do sometimes put on a jacket just to put some time on it. Helps to break it in. And makes me feel like the thousands of dollars I've spent on them are going to good use. It is a bit ridiculous, but no one's around to know it, so who cares. I hear some guys like to wear ladies underwear. As long as it's not hurting anyone...

@TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead is probably thinking 'why not both?'

 

[Mich486]

Don’t do it, it just feels wrong

 

[barnabus]

No of course not! Jackets are for outside. If you want to break it in quicker go out in the rain.

I wear a hoody or a t shirt indoors, like a sane person.

 

[Turnip]

No, never.
Sometimes my 5.3 pounds cardigan.

 

[torfjord]

Yes. I don’t do it all the time but I will always do it if I have a new jacket to kick start the break in. Sometimes I will also put on old jackets for a short time when at home just cause it makes me feel good to wear them.

When I have a new jacket that needs to be broken in, I will wear it in the morning whilst I sip my coffee. Once my wife and daughter wake up, I scurry to the closet to hang it up. I refuse to be made fun of in my own home and those two go straight for the jugular. But that first hour...quiet and dark, steam rising off my coffee, and the aroma of a new leather jacket filling my lungs....pure heaven. It's like Christmas morning before the kids wake up.

You’re wearing an E, drinking a beer and waiting for football, you’re the king of the world!
