Life with ONE great Leather Jacket vs. Life with MANY Leather Jackets

[pawineguy]

I need to have at least one Perfecto.

I may have one that would interest you...

Wow, that is a stunning jacket. Happily trade-in all 6 of my jackets for one as awesome as that.

I still like this re-lined old black Highwayman example...

Just one, unless you're a real sissy...

Given the chill weather we've got over here, I'm thinking that maybe wearing both at once might be my only option.

Just try one shearling from AL/SB. They could add multiple fleece lined pockets on their version instead...

But... But you can get a jacket to look like that, too. I mean, with a little effort and alcohol, it's possible to get this look just by distressing it artificially.

This one is also beautiful. Is it possible that this jacket used to be black?

And also...

Mr. Craig's HWM looks more worn than most jackets I see here. And it's not that he cannot afford another one.

A little too much alcohol rub me thinks...:eeek:

I agree with HD; a bit too much color loss for my taste. Reminds me of those 1980's Avirex bomber jackets that were made to rapidly distress in short order.[huh]

Lack of money tends to help, too.

no, it only makes you crazy as long as you haven't make peace with what you have and decide to stop.

Lucky I don't feel that way with leather jacket, but I do feel that thirst with other things, I find many time running away from it doesn't help, so I kept searching for reviews, articles, forums, reading all discussions about it, until I stuffed my brain with knowledge about it, and then I don't want it anymore

 

[navetsea]

that looks beautiful.

HD, that is one hell of a leather jacket! I’d never wear another jacket, ever!

Breezer has one that will get like that for sale.

-OK, edit "Can" get like that.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Hmmm....'will get like that'..and can get like that, more than likely, are two different things. I've not seen many that have that much character.

The key is to start with the Connelly Steerhide

I know I've seen this chewed up jacket before... https://theaerofile.wordpress.com/tag/highwayman/

[handymike]

That one is pretty close.....

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Close..but different lining.
