Should I get rid of the following jackets?

[zebedee]

Haha this is definitely what seems to be happening. May be an excuse for me to keep both…

I am going to tell you the desperate, maddening, unhappy truth: you should keep all but one or two. Sell the one or two you never wear. Then wait a year and buy one more.

It doesn't matter much what people say about fit unless it's sausage-skin tight or billowing - in which case you already know.

I'd get rid of the Schott, mainly because I think it's garish and ugly. Sorry to say.

The other jackets look good, but if you've outgrown one and it's doubtful you'll fit it again, it's time to move on and reinvest.

Aero for the pub & JL for the bike.

One more question from me:

Which of these Cafe Racers do you think fits me better? I’m uncertain whether to get rid of 1 or keep both:

1. Aero CR

Johnson Leathers:

At first glance, I would have chosen the JL. At second glance, however, it seems a bit shorter than the Aero. So in the overall impression but rather the Aero. But since both are good, I would keep both and look which I wear more often.

Keep all of them. Then buy one more. Then never buy another one. Except for one more, in about two years. And then buy a Pike Bros. Deck Jacket a week later.

The only edit I would add is….sell them all, buy a few back from the buyer you sold to, sell again, buy back again… of course sell again. Buy something worse, and something better, sell both, swear off leather buy tons of wool….and leather. Sell all, buy Levi’s Sherpa jacket and feel content you’ve won. For 3 minutes…then repeat the entire cycle (and sell the Sherpa).

This is one I’ve jumped back and forth on whether I should sell or not. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Kind of hard to say with the shirt untucked. Stylistically, it doesn't appeal to me but that's just personal preference/bias.

If you're already questioning it but looking for outside justification to keep it then that should speak for itself. Cut bait and move it along IMHO.

I think as soon as you ask yourself whether you should sell something or not, sell it.

Some nice jackets there. The board racer looks best of all of them on you. The side zip is too big in the shoulders. The sheepskin...if it's worth good money I'd sell. I've gone back and forth on shearling, went on a Sawyer of Napa jag several years ago. I guess the patch thing reminds me of the seventies, and not in a good way. The CR looks like it might be a better riding jacket, with some more freedom of movement? The one you think is too short, is too short. Especially with that collar.

Definitely this.

I like the style, just not sure if this looks too small
