    Looking for my first leather jacket

    yes, that fit is ideal for me. I think custom is probably the best route for me to go, currently been debating between Johnson Leather (have to make time to go to SF) or Thedi Leather (heard he will come to LA for a custom event)

    Looking for my first leather jacket

    Thank you, I will check out Johnson! Totally understand the jacket I'm looking for probably won't appeal to a lot of people. It's just something that I think will complement my current wardrobe.
