Looking for a good Biker Leather Jacket

Clemenza

Hi guys

I've been looking to invest in something like this for a long time



Can anyone tell me how much I'm looking at paying and where in Dublin I can pick one up?

Much appreciated

Ditto.

Anyone know where to get something like the above?

That is basically a Schott Perfecto. The same jacket Marlon Brando wore in "The Wild One" in 1953. Still made today. About €400-€500 for the real deal. Will last forever.

Hmm, have you tried TKmaxx. I was in yesterday and they' have leather jackets in the womens' section so I assume the same for the mens' section. Otherwise, Arnotts maybe? Or online? But tbh, you'd real want to try it on and get a 'feel for it'.

There's a shop in Crown Alley in Temple Bar, Dublin that sells those exact biker jackets. I can't remember the exact prices but I think they were less than €150. The shop is opposite Bad Ass Cafe/Eager Beaver. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the store but it sells a lot of emo/goth/punk type gear (tshirts/jackets/boots etc).

Actually, Eager Beaver across the way sometimes has those jackets second hand downstairs so worth a look in there too.

TKmaxx has disgusting mens leather jackets, mostly plain boring jackets by crap brands such as bench.

Got a real leather Bench jacket for 42 euros in TK maxx at the start of year and its very nice leather jacket and very well made and does not look cheap :rolleyes:.

All Saints if your willing to pay 400 euros + for a leather jacket is maybe the best bet as there jackets are something else and to me there stuff is some of the best stuff money can buy

But if your smart have a look in there shop in the kildare outlet and you can pick up useably they have one style of leather jacket there selling off for about 160 euros .

Well 5 euro wooly jumpers can be fashionable it all depainds on how you match up what your wearing .....

Bench leather jackets are not bland. It's all about what you wear it with. A pair of red super skinny jeans, a green or a white shirt EG some kind of print has to be on them, a pair of brown boots and the bench leather jacket and there you go very fashionable it's all about how you wear it. That it my taste in fashion but some one else with a diff taste in fashion would match it up to there taste and look very fashionable as well.

So Sr tell me what you think is fashionable ?

Leopold, there's no need for bitching or sniping. Post helpful replies or move on.

Everyone else, report posts if you have a problem with them.

If you're going to be in London soon or know anyone there, there's a cool leather shop down near Camden Locke. I think it's the one with all the rockets and stuff built into the wall outside. I know a guy who got a jacket exactly like that there. Can't remember the name of the shop though, but is hard to miss if you're down that way.
