As someone who’s been into menswear and men’s style very publicly for over a decade now, you might think that I’ve got the whole “how to dress” and “what to wear with fill in the blank” thing down. In some cases, I’d say that’s true - give me a suit or sport coat and I can put some decent outfits together pretty quickly.
But in other areas, especially more casual styles of dressing, it often doesn’t come that easy. And the place where I feel like I typically struggle the most is when it comes to styling leather jackets.
I’ve often wondered why that is. We’re going to explore that question and I’m going to show you how I’m styling five different leather jackets this winter.

As someone associated with leather industry, I feel that a Suede jacket (bomber collar or shirt collar) made from goat skin in dark brown or tobacco color is just an awesome piece of apparel to have in a gentleman's wardrobe.
Agree!
100% with either navy or brown suede chukkas. :)
Just wanted to take a second and thank you from the bottom of my heart Brian. Your videos have made men's fashion so accessible. Your style is impeccable and thanks to your videos, my wardrobe is next level. Huge fan of what you do! THANK YOU!
Great looks, Brian! Always good to have a video from you. Hope your Christmas was wonderful. Thanks.
So glad to see a new video Brian! I think you did a great job on all the styling, keep up the good work.
Great video, Brian! I liked all the looks…especially the varsity jacket. Looking forward to your next upload.
As a suggestion: For the Varsity Jacket, you can dress it up too. Like, swap the jeans with chinos/trousers, from turtleneck to polo shirt/button down shirt with/without tie. from white sneakers to boots. This will create a "preppy" look.
Great to see you back. It’s summer here in Australia so this might need to be revisited in May.
Welcome back, Mr. Sacawa. I really liked all the looks you put together. This definitely isn't for everyone but I do also like the vintage-inspired look where someone pairs a shirt, tie & grey flannels (or other formal trousers) with a Schott Perfecto (with stars, even) & boots. I think the more exaggerated "biker" styles like that can be dressed up a bit as they have a military look to them.
Hey Brian, welcome back! Missed having your excellent content! Merry Christmas! 🎄
My man is back
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
You did a great job. To just the G1 bomber jacket did speak to me, somehow a bit more versatile.
Hope you had great holidays with the family, wish you a great start into the new year and all the best 2024 😊🙏🏻👍🏻
Long time no see. Love your videos and glad to see another one!
All great combos Brian, definitely the brown combo with sued jacket is my favourite
I’m liking look 3 the best, and hope you had a great Christmas Brian!
My favorite as well. Good to see you, Javi, and thanks for the very nice Christmas note!
This channel is awesome. Well done!
Nice video Brian. The varsity jacket is so casual you pretty much nailed the look. It gives off cool dad vibes. Maybe you could go with black jeans or some sort of casual hiking boot.
This is, I believe, the first ever comment I have made on RUclips. I enjoy your videos immensely. Thanks for dressing us all up a little better. The outlets you mention aren't available where I live but the matching advice is universal. Please continue. I note you were a bandsman. Did you ever play at the Edinburgh Tattoo?
This is a nice casual outfit. The brown jacket looks nice and causal. Not sure about the jeans as it's a light colour and it seems like you are wearing a winter outfit. So I would got with dark wash jeans or even black. The shoes go's nicely with the jacket.
Cheers.
This was great! Loved the suede bomber jacket with the fur collar, very Spitfire look. Keep up the great work. PS. We need a video in the beard! It looks great. Wearing a beard with good clothes is God Tier.
Merry Christmas everyone! You looks awesome today. 👌
Same to you and many thanks.
I can t say i liked the jackets by the sponsor but it s always nice seeing a video of yours Brian.. Keep on 🤜🏼🤛🏻
A video after a long time! good to see you back and hope to see more!
i like the looks at 4:12, 6:10 & 6:40 the most!
Many thanks! More to come in the New Year.
I also have that problem where I’m not that age of a rock and roller. I’m almost 45 now and with these few amazing leather jackets I have, I BARELY wear them and I love them! And what’s sad is that they have been sitting in my closet for quite sometime.
46 years old here. Hopefully this helps inspire you to pull them out!
@@hespokestyle definitely will pull them out soon! Btw, were those Jackets all MTM from the site you provided? Because they seem very accurate on fit and we both know most “off the rack” won’t fit properly. I am thinking of possibly getting one if that’s the case. Thanks my friend 🙏🏼
@@EscobarStylethat's a good question about mtm bc i all my off the rack leathers the sleeve is too long, but fit every where else
@@dannyturner7967 same here Danny. Tough to find exact measurements off rack. So maybe this company could be a home run at a reasonable price 👍🏻
No. I said in the video that I have not tried their MTM program.
Now this is a MAN: classy, hair on point, polite and calm, just 🔥
Hey man where have you been for so long?
Everytime i opened up my youtube i always visited your chanel and thank God you are back.
Great to see you are back on RUclips with some amazing content; I was already missing the great outfits and vast knowledge.
Hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas.
By the way, when will the Monarch Butterfly Black Bow Ties be back on the He Spoke S shop? I have kept eyeing them for any re-stocking but nothing thus far.
Wishing you nothing but the best! 😊
Thanks! We're still sold out of that. Probably back in stock in January. Keep an eye out!
You pulled it off Brian! Miss this kind of videos from you
Thanks! More to come!
Christmas has come . . . a little late??? Welcome back!!
That black/brown outfits rocks.🎉🎉
Happy holidays! Thanks!
@@hespokestyle to you and the team as well.
This video comes at the perfect time for me because I've been strongly considering buying a leather jacket. Mostly because I just think they look cool. But I also wonder what else, besides the obvious, I could wear with one. Thanks for the suggestions!
Glad I could help!
Fantastic I will try one of those thanks 🙏
Big fan of turtleneck + leather jacket. So cool. Also, what belt is that?? Caught my eye. Happy holidays!
hey brian, nice video. Please make more videos like this
Wilco
Good video. I’ve had the same two leather jackets for about 15-one in a mid-brown suede and one black. One’s a bomber. I have no idea what the other is. I wear them about three times a year each, almost always with an OCBD, cotton or linen sweater, jeans or chinos, and Chelseas or my Indys. Sometimes, I’ll add a silk knit tie. You only see the knot on the tie. I just don’t find leather jackets all that versatile.
That sounds like a great look. I agree that leather jackets aren't easy to style in a formal setting. Kudos for making a tie work with them, I can imagine the outfit looking sharp with just that little edge of unexpected sophistication.
Toss up between looks 5 and 3 as my favorite. Looking for a way to incorporate a pair of white jeans into the winter rotation.
Thanks for the comment!
First - love your new look!
Thank you! 😃
THE GOAT is BACKKKKKK!
Smooth lookbook. Not too convinced of the Jacket Maker, though. I do like the charcoal suede bomber. But poly lining is a no-go. There are some brands and mills that offer technical fabrics (Olmetex) on a high level. With the Jacket Maker, there's zero transparency about the type of poly, unfortunately.
The varsity jacket, albeit a great style, comes in a poly "wool" that already seems to pick up lint like crazy (4:42 + 7:18). Not something I would expect on your channel, which (to me) represents quality *and* appearance in an inextricable liaison. 285$ for a synthetic jacket with some leather seems like a biiit of a stretch in that fashion.
This is just to say: I'm glad you mentioned that they have viscose lining on offer, as well. Maybe next time, present some more of these? They would be more in line with what I've come to expect as a long-time viewer. Just a constructive critique.
Happy holidays - can't wait to wear a Brian inspired New Year's outfit soon. 😉
Oh snap!! Welcome back Brian! Nice beard BTW
Great outfits sir.
Glad you like them!
Love the look at 6.56 the best👍with the varsity jacket, cream turtleneck, burgundy corduroy trousers from gentlemens gazzette shop👍
I'd say the first time I really noticed leather jackets was on police officers and detectives in old movies and they always look good on formal clothing if I may say so myself. + Merry Christmas Brian!!!! 🎄
Same to you
I know exactly what you mean like the movie Batman 1989
That ox blood allsaints moto jacket you styled is still pretty badass from before…I still wear mine found it at an allsaints outlet years back I think they discounted it now tho haha
May you please do a navy suit options and combos to wear for a PROPOSAL, please?! I'm trying to get some ideas to wear before asking the question. Thank you!
I love the soundtrack.
As a suggestion: I think to improve look 4, you could play in to the collegiate look a bit and put a polo or collared shirt with the colar over the crewneck sweater. And maybe swap the crewneck for something with a bit more color since its going to largely be covered by the jacket
You look like you enjoy your life post DD214. I am happy for you, brother!
Hell yes! Thanks so much.
Very nice video. I prefer the suede brown jacket with Western cowboy boots
I'm pretty accustomed to avoiding plastic materials like synthetic cotton and polyester. Is this a good strategy when looking for a leather jacket?
Awesome video. Where these jackets are made ??
Whenever I try on a leather or suede jacket it never really works for me😢. Same with hats. Tired of wearing baseball caps…however, trying on various hats never works also. How to choose a hat???
Another classic option would be -
Offwhite/light brown shirt, beige/khaki pants & black jacket
Grey shirt, brown pants & black jacket
OCBD (Oxford Collared Button Down?). What are the best brands of OCBDs?
I appreciate your transparency in this video. My leather cafe racer is my favorite piece and what I feel i can match with anything in my wardrobe. Knowing there are pieces you struggle with gives me an ego boost :p
Really liked that last outfit
Many thanks!
Welcome back!
Great to be back!
@@hespokestyle How is the retirement going?
I love most of them but I really disagree on the profound black suede with the brown outfit, doesnt feel smooth to the eyes as the others. If it was a really dark grey or a night blue, or the darkest of brown I'd agree, the black deginitely does't work for me with brown but you still manage to look awesome ahah.
Hello,
what jacket is that ? Looks very nice
More importantly when do we get a video on your Lange 1?! Years in the making.
Wouldn't recommend varsity jackets for older gentlemen. Seems off to me but of course, wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident.
Where have you been?
I haven't seen any current content from you for quite some time.
I think you've got the right idea by pairing some of them with formal trousers. Set's you apart from trying to look youthfull. I think the beard also helps with a bit of grey as you're obviously not having a midlife crisis. I think it also helps you're in reasonable shape. I don't see anything wrong with any of the looks. I don't personaly think i'd wear some of them but I'm a bit more overweight. I 've watched some of your older videos and I think we're in the same ballpark more conservative classic menswear and as you get older I think it looks more appropriate. There's so much that is aimed at the young and guilable with more money than sense. I really don't see how casual looks better than even slighty formal lkie you could pair a pair of jeans with a single breasted mac in dK Grey or with an overcoat in the winter and that would be so much simpler and more stylish than hoodies, quited jackets.
You look like Rick Grimes with that one jacket, this is amazing 👍
When are you coming back to RUclips Brian? Missing the regularly scheduled programming on the channel. Great content as always. PS any Italy-trip videos coming up?
Thanks 👍🏼
You got it!
Please do an update to your sunglasses and glasses collection.
The brown G1 bomber is amazing!
What are your thoughts on longer leather coats? TJM has quite a few long ones, how well would they work with a suit for instance? I usually like wool for long coats, but was wondering how a long leather coat would look with more formal clothing.
Not for me.
@@hespokestyle Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to your new videos
I do think that a classic, thigh-length shearling coat in muted dark brown or black can work very well with a suit. Google "Lederwerk Frankfurt Zugspitze" for a high quality example. Or browse "etiql shearling".
They come with the added bonus of being exceptionally warm while made of breathable and robust all-natural materials. I would stay away from faux fur or fake shearling, though. That just means a poly lining, which won't be warm, but run hot and uncomfortable.
Link of the charcoal trousers?
"it's harder to be stylishly casual than casually stylish"
-John style
I thought tight leather jacket were
in voke now....but I like your outfits , nice to see you wearing something for older guys. What is your view on tight leather jackets?
Brian…how about the plain Theory leather jacket, black jeans, and lighter blue denim shirt? Maybe black Chelsea boots?
We want another round of AMA
What's the material of the buttons on the bomber jackets?
Not listed on website.
I love that black biker Bomber jacket, but varsity jackets are a no for me. It’s for someone younger. I want to like but have to be honest when I see it geared to someone my age. I don’t mean this as harsh criticism but less is more when it comes to hair. These can flatter your face frame but make texture putty give your self volume relaxed look for the casual look. I love this channel, I feel that I’ve outgrown the RealmemRealstyle channel.
Brian where you at bro?? Missing your content in my life!
A varsity jacket and and any kind of 30+ maturity just should not be found in the same conversation.
If you insist, then make it as plain as possible, and @inigosuarez's suggestions nailed it.
I spot a Lange 1...can we expect a watch review of this amazing timepiece?
That's right! I'm kind of on the fence about talking about my watch collection any more. I understand many of you enjoy that but I do not want to come across as flexing. If you recall, it's one of the reasons I sold my 5711.
@@hespokestylego for it man, audience is clearly interested. If some has a problem, simply advise if they have and issue, here’s a tissue.
@@hespokestyle 100% understand the feeling, but if people can glean any of your personality in these videos- doubt you have to worry. Love videos of watches that are actually worn and thoughtfully curated.
Your opinion on B3 jackets?
Saw a bag in a tree the other day; thought of you
Hey Brian, you're among the best dressed and styled men on RUclips. You turn combining the basics into an art form. However, I must say that your current haircut ages you about ten years. You look a lot younger and fresher when you keep the sides and back much shorter. I know we should embrace aging, but I feel like it's too soon for you. Keep up the content, it's still as inspirational as ever!
Bring back the clean shaved Brian 😔
lol. Not happening. He’s retired too.
The man just retired from the Army, let him enjoy his renewed facial hair freedom!
What Levis jean are you wearing?
501
Having a beard like that with your excellent, defined jaw line is criminal. I have a beard because I have a double chin. I would kill to look better clean shaven (or with a very light stubble).
Bro pull off the Rick Grimes cosplay unintentionally 😂
If youre in good shape the rock and roll biker jacket and boots will never be out of style
Great video, i find the title kinda misleading as youre talking about "leather" jackets and not all sorts of jackets and materials. btw that suede bomber is perfection i want it
Suede is leather!
What😢is the website of the leather Jacket company.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not too many of those fur covered collars here on the West Coast!
“But not like mine 😏” 😂
A+
beard looks great
Really been missing the videos! 🎉 definitely one of (if not) the best menswear pages on RUclips 🙌🏻. I liked all but the last look (brown and black). In your summer vacation capsule wardrobe video you mixed brown and black exceptionally well, but this time I didn’t really feel it. The quite luxury look was absolutely money 👌 ironically 😅
Thanks for chiming in!
Thanks Brian. I like your pairings.
Thanks, Ron. Much appreciated!
Welcome back Brian 👑 and happy holidays. Silly question but do you have problem with static when wearing leather? - Han

I’m personally in love with varsity jackets in a preppy, Ralph Lauren-esque way. However unfortunately for you and men in your age that’ll probably come off as a bit childish maybe… Throw on a baseball cap and wear the jacket to a game and you’ll be good ✌🏼
For reference can Google cafe racer outfits.... They're quite sartorial
Awesome attire, would like to know where your brown chelsea boots are from like the polish dark toe tip on the boot
They're from Carlos Santos. Super nice,
nice
Thanks
You always inspire me to dress well. I had ordered the brown suit from MAB+HSS and it has been my best investment. Michael was kind enough to deliver it to India( which you guys usually don’t). Looking to buy the Donegal tweed suit to my collection. Always good to see your new video pop up on my YT.
Missed you for a couple of months man! Salaam from Pakistan 💫 . Nice to see you back
Brian is the freakin' man. He's like my white stylish dad lol .
