What was the problem with the lenses? You look good without glasses..

They kept popping out and were a pain in the ass to put in. Frankly, I just didnt care for em

I got goofy eyeballs or something

leather is great because it lasts forever. you can wear one jacket for decades.

1st one looks better but it's still too modern urban male for me. Don't like collars like that and could do without the crosshatching on the shoulders.

The second one is the Fonz's jacket, I don't see many people wearing those anymore. I don't think it has a youthful connotation anymore.

Def. the first one but i really don't like those "padded/stitched" shoulder

I have one very similar to this model

 

[Rickyiez]

Can't go wrong with style 2, the riders style..... If you're an Asian

 

[Elcid]

Jacket 1 is sick. Where are you getting it from? I may buy one to match. We can be jacket twinsies

 

[thefool]

no

 

[O-N-E]

Get with the times, breh.

 

[Foamy]

Get one like this:

Then get a pair of aviator sunglasses.
Walk up to women and say "I can see this is dangerous for you. But if the pentagon trusts me... maybe you could too".
Profit

I dunno, number 2 could work.

Maybe he could put his cigs in the sleeve of his rolled up white T-shirt as well.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Good taste op. I've owned both of those jackets at some point in my life.

The second one I owned as a teenager though, so....

I haven't smoked in years

You think a pack of chewing gum would make cooters drip?

 

[Richard Packer]

The more expensive one is about $260... I'd be hard-pressed to drop more than that on a jacket.

I figured either of thes would last me years.

You should drop at least $500. A good leather jacket is an investment.

A lot cooler than a new Xbox, that's for sure

 

[eddie4]

I'm going to have to agree with you here. I rocked this denim occasionally up until recently, especially at shows.

my wife has a few of these from back in the day, all customized by her. people always ask if she wants to sell them. i think she will, ppl offer up to $200 for them. its crazy.

If that's your mentality then you have already lost the war.

Really?! Tell her to get rich quick!

The entire point of jackets like that is that they're personalized as a point of self-expression. Like Nic Cage in WIld At Heart

People miss the mark so hard with this stuff. Everyone wants to buy their own sense of self-identity these days. Weird culture.

 

[Saber]

I would choose leather 1.

Its more simplistic but still stylish. And less attention seeker, the color looks very smooth for a brown jacket.

For a different style that might pique your interest, have a look at bike jackets:

Yeah this is marginally better, but honestly all these jackets are gonna just make you look like a douchebag 90% of the time.

What kind of jacket do you wear?

 

[Mossybrew]

I've got a few but definitely no leather. Just screams tryhard to me, very hard to pull off IMO.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I'd always imagined his jacket as being black in my head too, but I actually caught a few episodes recently and that shit is brown bro

Maybe they changed it throughout the series or it's one of those Berenstein Bear mass illusion things

Henry Winkler was 30 when he played him. lol

 

[DrJohnGalt]

They both look great IMO. I've got one like the top (same colors but different shoulders and an off-white horizontal stripe) and I love it.

I don't think after a certain age you could pull the bottom one off as well. And as somebody else said, it depends on your body type. I'd suggest seeing how you look in both of them and how they both feel with mobility and comfort. Unless you're ordering online...

 

[n0razi]

Neither.

I blew $800 on a Schott Perfecto black leather biker jacket (the style of the black one from the OP) a few years ago.

It's really cumbersome, heavy, and hard to wear. I wouldn't recommend it.

I would honestly go with a cafe racer type jacket (brown one in OP) in the $200-400 range. Going to be a lot more functional and match different types of outfits.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Top 1 reminds me of Angry Joe

Bottom 1 reminds me of John Travolta.

I vote for Jacket 2.
