Thinning out collection - what to keep!

So I have around 12 leather jackets from the early days of Alexander Leathers, some I have worn, some not, some one offs as they had just opened.

I wear my highwayman style Roadster in brown horween steer the most, and it's like a second skin.
My A2 goat is great so that will stay.
But I have 2 cafe's a Mongolian horse hide (really supple) with moleskin, and a horween steerhide black chromexyl with red liner. Both are stunning.

Other than that I have a B2 in sheepskin of course, it's good but they are slightly short. The others are a black Roadster style in steer, tan leather 50's style detroit, Long Rider horween in brown steer, and a cool maroon horween Oakland.

I also have a black Roadster which I had custom made for my Google Glass! Although they discontinued the Glass slightly after I had it made :)

I would like to keep 3 and then I'll figure out who to give the rest to!

I'm thinking keep the brown Roadster, A2 but what else, I can't decide!

Help me choose :)

I agree with PN, keep one of the cafe racers. Since the Roadster is brown I would keep the black CXL with red lining.

You need an even number - equal part brown n black, equal part long n short, equal part button n zip, equal part all the different types of hides, equal part for every type of weather :D

Some of those jackets look unworn, like they’ve just come out of the stockroom. One even has the label still on it. Amazing!

Sell all of them and get a couple from a better brand :D



...but on a serious note, it's pretty hard to choose between 12 jackets. I only have 2 right now and I don't even have a 3rd one in mind haha :D

Even if you had 12 from a brand I adored, I would still advise to sell at least half of them just so you'll actually use some of them more.
