I'm 61 and have a black cafe racer. Seeing Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in his has me rethinking this particular style choice LOL. Any of you fellow old dudes still wearing yours?

Every time I see Jensen wearing his I think it looks terrible and as a billionaire he could get a better one. I don't even know why he chose to always wear it, my guess is he wants it to be his version of Jobs' turtleneck.

that's exactly what it is. he's even used the famous steve jobs cliche' line that he and all the other techbros that copy jobs have used - that his brilliant thoughts are too important to waste on something so trivial as choosing an outfit so he just grabs his jacket lol. Thing is though, he has a bunch different ones that he chooses from, so there goes that excuse. And when asked why he chose leather jackets he says, like a true leather tough guy, it's because he has itchy skin and they don't make him itch. He also said that his wife and daughter buy them for him. But we all know the real reason he buys and wears them...because he's going through a mid-life crisis and wants to be a techy rebel bad boy.

And that's the thing, I don't want people chuckling at me and thinking 'look at this try-hard' the way I do him :(

And yeah, I think his particular jackets look corny as sh!t. They are apparently high-end fashion brands that cost upwards of $5K. A vintage or vintage style jacket wouldn't be as bad, but then again Elon wears vintage leather jackets sometimes and looks like a massive tool.
