OR HOW ABOUT people wear a leather jacket " how they want too" because well i can say with that haircut that you only "go after" other men... see how i just RANDOMLY said something.
My favourite thing about is autumn is I can wear my jacket. Investing does pay for, I’ve an All Saints leather jacket that is about 8 years old and it’s still good as new. I bought it for just over £300 (originally around £500) on sale so it works out roughly £40 a year. It’s warm, stylish and I still get compliments on it. Cost per wear “pays off” in leather jackets as you constantly wear them. Morbid: but it’s one of those things if you prematurely die, it’s the one item your family is going to fight over getting. It really becomes “part of you”. Each leather jacket fades a certain way, gets it’s own scuffs, so it becomes unique to you
Love this explanation I also own an All Saints leather jacket I purchased this year and it’s such a lovely jacket. Great point with the morbid tip as well, it’s true.
I finally purchased a leather jacket after trying on different leather jackets for years prior to purchase. I tried on hundreds of jackets before I pulled the trigger on the perfect jacket for my body type and personality. It was expensive but it was worth the cost.
Ralph Lauren, for years, made quality aviator-style jackets, approx $700, in brown and black, which I still pair w/ contemporary outfits and look great - absolutely timeless!!
I‘m a collector of Belstaff and Matchless leather jackets. For me, it is so much more pleasant than collecting watches. Your jackets and your watches will both tell your personal life story if time gets by, but unlike your watch, the jacket looks BETTER therefore. The leather jacket is still an underrated collectors item in my opinion. I think, if there would be some influencers promoting luxury leather jackets, like those hundrets of influencers that promote the luxury watch market, some jackets of certain labels would skyrocket in market value.
I don’t consider myself a collector, but I have been through several leather jackets and many pair of boots just looking for one that I can wear all the time and that fits right. I know each person is different, but it’s really astonishing to me how many companies make boots and jackets that just really aren’t comfortable or appropriate to wear around daily. I bought a Schott Storm last winter and I love it, but the sleeves are a bit long. If I can figure that out, I will have it a long time.
@@H..M.. If you can find a qualified tailor or seamstress with the right machines for leather the sleeves are usually the easiest part to adjust. I've heard that there are some online/mail-in services that can do that work too, but I don't have any references or links for you. Sorry. BTW-The Storm is a beautiful jacket and next on my list. ; )
@@bngr_bngr When the Malenottis left Belstaff, they joined Matchless. The hand waxed leather jackets are on par with those of Belstaff, if not slightly better in some cases. Pricewise it‘s the same.
Perfectly timed video. I ordered a goat skin suede leather jacket online, it arrived yesterday, and it fit beautifully. Took my lady out on a date and she was almost as obsessed with it as I was. Couldn't agree more about investing in a quality jacket. The brand I got is Iron and Resin and my favorit,e part about them is they have the lifetime repair policy. I'm done with fast fashion. Invest in quality, brands that stand behind their product, brands who will repair their pieces so they don't end up in the trash.
I am glad, that autumn is here and I can wear my old, brown leather jacket again, I like the leather smell and the 70s look of it, looks great when worn with a turtleneck sweater or a shirt (not so great with a t-shirt though) style is one thing, functionality another: for me it is important, that the jacket has at least one inside pocket, mine has one on each side and even another small one for a zippo or such
Leather jackets are my favorite confidence booster item. I have three (black, medium brown, lighter brown) and am planning to get a fourth (black with red accent lines).
I just wanted to say I been going to your videos for style and only your videos!! Since I was 12 and I'm 23 now and I'm still here. I just wanted to say I love your videos and I will always take your advice much love keep up the good work
White stitches look cheap for me otherwise, thanks again for this reminder! Plus I’m that guys you just described.. 5’ 9” 175lbs and I’m loving my leather jacket collection. Hopefully you guys getting what you really want and suit your style 🎉 trust me.. it’s worth it 😍
One exception to the leather is casual example is the Germans officers leather raincoat. They look amazing with a suit as they were intended to be worn with a dress uniform
I actually bought a leather jacket for only 80 euros. However the sleeves were too wide, so I brought them in and sewed the sleeves back together by hand. It's not really noticeable unless you're looking for it. It's amazing what can be achieved given some time and patience.
sorry but I cant take advice on leather jackets from someone who is wearing the seat covers from a Mini Clubman. ill stick with Belstaff & Matchless for mine.
I think i'm really bad when it comes to know clothes that fits me, that made me have a look. However, wearing a leather jacket and a white Tee underneath, i must admit, ilike myself wearing it.
I had a leather jacket in High school but nowadays I prefer a Bomber or Harrington. No hate at all though just my personal taste has changed a bit. It got a bit hot wearing it at times which isn't surprising living in AZ. Excellent and informative as always!
i wear a reaper ring on my middle finger and tree of life signat ring on my pinky, both silver and on my left hand, i personally find the look quite nice especially paired with my watch on my right hand
Informative video. I like that you are enthusiastic without jumping around and being over the top. Kinda miss that relaxed yet engaging attitude from other fashion/style online gurus. To find the right leather jacket can be quite the quest. I see many good quality jackets but with boring designs or messed up details, like ugly hardware. Then you see really cool looking jackets which are affordabe, but as soon as you order them online, you get a jacket with stretched pores or scratches. So I'm always on the look out for the ideal jacket. May check out your sponsorship, but as I'm in Europe I don't know if that makes sense to order from Mexico. Cheers from Switzerland
Great video Antonio. I’ve had leather jackets from Korea, Spain, China and the USA. The European leather tends to be thinner and finer. Other than that if you take care of them with proper cleaning and conditioning they can last for years. Cheap leather is not worth the price so shop with quality in mind.
Thanks for the video. You did a great job clarifying what big guys, like myself, shouldn’t wear. A few suggestions on what styles might be appropriate would have been appreciated.
Got a RL Polo lamb skin leather from Macys last year on their 30% off friends family sale. Hope it’s good quality. The one with the collar and polo logo on the chest
black leather jacket when they start fading to show brown undertone, they just work with everything, during covid out of boredom I bought a sheet and a half of 1.4mm unpressed nat vegtan cow + 4mm pressed belt strap, and a bottle of black dye, i pat dye the hide and beltstrap with old tshirt tied into a bun, also online bought all the hardware needed, then I sent them to local jacket maker to be made into custom crosszip style using my doodle as a guide, once done, I rinse the jacket under a running shower, and wear from wet to dry in one sunny day, condition it with mink oil, buff it to natural sheen, I wear that jacket daily the last 2 years.
Black leather rules! Yea. Glad to see that my black leathered bro Andy Tate has had some influence on this youtuber of 'RealMenRealStyle'. I am a big fan of Andy Tate and his black leather fashion. I dig all of Andy Tate's black leather jackets. I also noticed the black leather jacket the 'RealMenRealStyle' wore in his other youtube videos is exactly the same style as my black leathered Andy Tate before he got arrested. The one with the stand-up collar! Cool. More black leathered bros on the internet! Yea.
Bought a really nice tan leather jacket in Morocco, I've only worn it a dozen times in 4 years cuz it's never cold enough. The downside to living in the desert.
Personally I prefer to only wear made to measure leather jackets, with big pockets inside ( to put my wallet inside or my cellphone or even a handgun), there’s nothing better than having a jacket that fits your body correctly since it has been made specially for you, and with the materials you have chosen!
Hi great video, I was wondering if you could help, I have a black cafe racer lambskin jacket will I be ok to wear a blue checked shirt underneath with dark blue jeans. thanks in advance 🙂
An interesting material you don’t see very often is kangaroo leather. It’s very soft and comfortable while also being fairly strong. Quite expensive though
Great video Antonio could you do a video on Jean jackets my dad had an old one from the 80s and gave it to me was wondering how I style it or wear it thank you 👍🏽
Some of there Jackets are legit. Look at some on there site and wanting to the Aventura Leather Field Jacket in Black but size wise and not completely sold on how to pull it off. For the record I'm 5'7 at 175 and don't got a belly guy popping out.
I've started collecting and investing in leather products since last year. I started with a leather backpack, belts, shoes and more bags. I'm actually planning on having a tailor fit leather jacket or buying online. I have a lean and small body build so it's kinda hard finding a good match online and I live in a tropical country so I'm thinking of a thinner maybe napa leather or goat skin leather. I hope someone could recommend a nice store online with an asian sized jacket! 😊😁
It's hard wearing leather jackets when it's hot. I built up a small collection from eBay earlier this year (before spring) and have yet to have the opportunity to wear most my jackets.
Leather processors make multiple hides from the different layers called splits. The mid-splits have the grains embossed back into them and surface pigments applied for more uniform/diverse finishes and aging characteristics. Split vs full grain isn't a matter of quality per se, it's application dependant. Splits can do things full grains can't and vice versa. The cheap stuff is made using scraps that are ground up kind of like paper pulp, mixed with a polyurethane or other gluey binder and pressed into embossing dies, these usually last about as long as the binder does and often have a textile backing. Your trashy childhood babysitter with the delaminating Leather couches were made with fabric backed polyurethane pressed into an embossing die under pressure and cured with heat usually. Typically 100% chemicals with no organic fibers. Sadly a lot of new cars use this Leather in their seat surfaces, if not on all surfaces then at least the ones you don't sit on. Custom leather automotive upholstery (the good stuff) is so much better than anything from the factory it changes the feel of the whole car. Think $4-6k per job. They say it's done to be eco friendly, but eco friendly is simply the belief that rich sell to the poor to maintain their own exclusive access to higher quality materials while fleecing the cash you slave for in their businesses making other second rate goods to be sold not to their ilk, but yours. The best piece of advice you gave for buying Leather jackets (id argue for everything) is buying the absolute best you can afford. Always do that.
I used to have a black jacket when i was in my early 20s, it felt so soft but im not sure if it was lambskin or cowhide. Is lambskin considered a leather?
I have a total of 4 leather jackets: black biker, brown biker, brick brown, and charcoal biker. All from Banana Republic. I got these back in 2011-13 ish when BR really seemed to care about their products. Now their leather jackets seem too boring. Also…can you do a video on how to accessorize a leather jacket? Most specifically what kind of backpack/ messenger bag should be used. I feel like leather on leather seems like an overkill but also a North Face backpack too.
I got great leather jackets at Wilson's Leather and then all of their stores in my area disappeared as I was looking for a new addition for my closet 😐
Antonio, You speak of trying on the jacket to get full arm range, make sure of fitting, etc. but purchasing a jacket from JR Rocha is done online. Now I don't know about you, but I can't try on my computer, or are you just referring to the need to try on 'off-the-shelf' jackets and I should just shut up and keep setting aside $ for theirs?
With the new choices in going: slim, athletic, etc. You should get rid of the one you got and get an athletic fit. That jacket looks too boxy on you. Or get it tailored. Just my 2ct. Good jacket though.
Thursday boot company has some of the best leather jackets out there. Construction, durability, and style. Their customer service is incredible, so if you need to send one back and try a different size the shipping is hassle free and extremely fast.
I noticed that for the retro style motorcycle jackets, like the brando style, the snaps are off when seen in photos. What is your style opinion on whether they should be on or off?
This video reaffirms my decision not to get a leather jacket. It's difficult for me to find clothes that fit, and a leather jacket would just exacerbate that. And in this climate, I just don't get enough opportunities to wear one.
You have put the nail in the coffin and have personified that men over a certain age should not wear leather jacket. I am nearly 50 and personally if you still want to venture in wearing leather jackets keep it simple and classic. Just keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video
I absolutely hate wearing leather jackets. They’re hot, stuffy and hard to stow. TBH I’m surprised people like wearing them casually. But since I spend most of my time on a motorcycle I’m wearing one nearly everyday. Dainese 😈
Hi, Pick any Styles of leather jacket you like either it's a bomber, biker, casual , blazer or whatever but pick the one using polyester satin for the lining and make sure that the lining has no filler. It is suitable for tropical countries.

I own a couple of AllSaints leather jackets. They look good and wear well.
I'll be honest. The jacket he's wearing doesn't fit in with the RMRS clothing philosophy imo. He does however say it's not for everyone.

One exception to the leather is casual example is the Germans officers leather raincoat. They look amazing with a suit as they were intended to be worn with a dress uniform
I guess the ww2 German look was just really old Hugo Boss right?

Not feeling the JL Rocha jackets. Way too bulky (makes you look 15lbs heavier) and that cross stitching is hideous.
I have to agree but he did say it was a riding jacket, just has too much going on to be a everyday jacket
Right
The jacket he's wearing looks way too futuristic imho.
Nah bro it looks great wdym

I miss my icon jacket with orange stitching from years ago. If JL Rocha made them again, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Antonio, You speak of trying on the jacket to get full arm range, make sure of fitting, etc. but purchasing a jacket from JR Rocha is done online. Now I don't know about you, but I can't try on my computer, or are you just referring to the need to try on 'off-the-shelf' jackets and I should just shut up and keep setting aside $ for theirs?
With the new choices in going: slim, athletic, etc. You should get rid of the one you got and get an athletic fit. That jacket looks too boxy on you. Or get it tailored. Just my 2ct. Good jacket though.
George in the Gortex. I'll never be able to erase that vision from my mind. 😂😂😂
Are the leather jackets from Thursday boots good quality or should I buy from somewhere else?
Thursday boot company has some of the best leather jackets out there. Construction, durability, and style. Their customer service is incredible, so if you need to send one back and try a different size the shipping is hassle free and extremely fast.
Are First Manufacturing leather jackets good quality? They say there made with full grain leather
Hi what do you think about Buco J 24L Real McCoys thank you
I noticed that for the retro style motorcycle jackets, like the brando style, the snaps are off when seen in photos. What is your style opinion on whether they should be on or off?
I need help finding a quality leather blazer with leak lapels
The jacket you have on doesn't suit you at all!! In my humble opinion. Very good suggestions.

This video reaffirms my decision not to get a leather jacket. It's difficult for me to find clothes that fit, and a leather jacket would just exacerbate that. And in this climate, I just don't get enough opportunities to wear one.
You touched on it but didn't fully explain- what leather jacket style does look best on guys with a belly?
Biker jacket! ❤
You have put the nail in the coffin and have personified that men over a certain age should not wear leather jacket. I am nearly 50 and personally if you still want to venture in wearing leather jackets keep it simple and classic. Just keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video
I absolutely hate wearing leather jackets. They’re hot, stuffy and hard to stow. TBH I’m surprised people like wearing them casually.
But since I spend most of my time on a motorcycle I’m wearing one nearly everyday. Dainese 😈
Would you recommend leather for places with tropical climate like the Philippines?
Hi, Pick any Styles of leather jacket you like either it's a bomber, biker, casual , blazer or whatever but pick the one using polyester satin for the lining and make sure that the lining has no filler. It is suitable for tropical countries.
