Are leather car coats and similar styles cool or are they boomer jackets? Feel like it's always old people wearing the longer jackets
>>18786501I've come to like leather car coats more than zippered leather jackets and I'm not 30 yetThis is probably a mistake at 5'8'' though
>>18786501It's definitely a sleaze-core staple.
Bros, I am trying to decide between Aero or Simmons Bilt
>>18786501longer silhouette outer wear gives a more formal, authoritative aestheticovercoats, trench coats, polo coats, balmacaan coats, etc are proper formal outerwear and the image you posted is still a relatively short cut coat, a leather coat like this is a far greater statement garment
>>18786501Leather car coats are great, probably the most versatile option for leather as well as the least tryhard and gay. Most styles of leather jackets, especially motorcycle and aviator jackets are pretty heavily age-locked and give "wtf are you doing with your life" vibes as you age, but not car coats. You can easily keep wearing a car coat from your 20s on into decrepitude. So while it isn't limited to boomerware, it also isn't too cringe for a boomer to wear one.>>18786537Again, highly versatile. Car coats can easily fit into sleaze, but aren't limited to it the way a leather blazer is.>>18786579Yes. Longer leather coats are pretty much limited to formal wear, whereas a low to mid hip length car coat can be dressed down casually just as easily as it can be worn with a shirt and tie.
>>18786548I really like my Aero, but I've never tried Simmons Bilt.
>>18786723Simmons Bilt was started by a former Aero higher up who took their patterns and many employees to start a competing company also based in Scotland. They had a big legal battle that is semi interesting
>>18786548>>18786723I ended up getting an Aero jacket in badalassi horsehide from their in stock section
>>18786501I feel like leather jackets look best when they're either cropped short like a biker jacket or really long The worst is when it's a short style jacket but the torso is too long, it just looks sloppy
>>18786501I have a schott leather car coat and I like it a lot. I think it looks cool with a collared shirt or sweater underneath. Just wearing like a metal tshirt with it makes me look like a nerd trying to emulate the matrix look lmao. However it does look cool in a sleazy way with a nice hoodie. I feel like it is a lot harder to wear compared to something like a bomber, u definitely gotta own it.
>>18786501What is this coat style called, I like it?I have a double rider and like a leather type 3. Wait I think I have this pic rel one in suede dark brown.
>>18787151The brand it's from (Shangri-la Heritage) calls it their "car coat"
>>18786811My new jacket arrived
>>18787176thanks, very cool site. I cant afford it because my cunt gf takes all my money but other than that very cool.
>>18789056Apparently within the leather community they're highly regarded. I like their designs so I would love to get one
