    What is this forums most popular brand and jacket?

    There is something I find ironic. There was a time when leather was a statement of "I don't care what you think." ...the realm of bikers and leathermen. It is/was freeing to operate outside the constraints and expectations of mainstream society. If we want to say that today leather is about...

    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    ...just a perspective. Some people grew up with the internet and such forums. I did not. This is only the second time I have ever participated. It can be a VERY confusing place for us dinosaurs trying to figure out what is appropriate and what is not on the internet. Some things on the...

    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    Speaking for myself, it can be intimidating to new people on here and discourage active participation when people are talking about big numbers, ie $1000 jackets, and pursuing a jacket every few weeks. I think it could be very easy for someone to think, "This is not for me. These guys are high...

    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    Carlos, you are obviously wildly wealthy to own tens of thousands of dollars of leather jackets, so obviously you don't have to worry much about budget. The intent of this thread was to provide insights for the average Joe who considers a $500 jacket "expensive."

    Don't overthink it. The main purpose of this thread was to give newbies a sense of hope that I can play in this game without busting the bank. Think about this from the perspective of a person completely new to leather jackets with little concept of cost of these jackets. What price range...
