By themselves, one vs the other, beltless fits better and looks better on you, although I’m not a fan of black teacore, or yellow core in this case.

In the context of your collection, belt seems like the better choice, beltless fits/looks better but lightning looks even better than beltless and the fit on both is pretty close, otoh belt has room to layer, which seems like something you need/want for some occasions.

So imho going with belt would leave you with a tshirt only cross zip (lightning) and one for layering (belt).
Seems like I'm leaning towards this option yes, as the lightning acts as a beltless cross zip rugged tank with a nice patina. But man that pebbly horsehide is also very unique.
If I didn't have 7 leather jackets to rotate already I'd keep both

Both nice jackets. I would be torn if I were you. I prefer no belt and like the fit of the beltless better on you but I prefer the non-yellow teacore leather on the one with the belt.

The beltless one looks like it fits just a slight bit better. So I voted for that.

But they're both really good. I like the leather on the belted one more. You should go with the one that feels more comfortable.
