Yeah I went down this rabbit hole myself a few times just out of curiosity. Like you said some of the leather used and hardware has been terrible. Some of them look incredibly well sourced and well made. But staggering the fluctuations in quality and materials; which sucks in general but also sucks because no matter what’s used they all cost a small fortune. But if you’re lucky or have the money to burn there’s some really nice ones out there like the one above.
They definitely have that classic NYC area rockstar look. Like I could see The Ramones, NY Dolls The Libertines(yes UK but fit the look) , The Strokes rocking their jackets. And just from pictures cause again never saw one in person they look like good leather, solid hardware.@ton312 @dannyk , yep, but it's interesting how the actually good stuff ultimately does become legendary. High fashion is basically the same as our gear here - Not every Gucci tracksuit is a long term investment but that one right piece, like the L17 and several others, it's the quality that prevails and people can see that at the end of the day, which is pretty cool.
Dan, those jackets actually look really good! It's like Himel done right. I love most of the jackets they got. Women's look quality, too!
I'm thinking more along the lines of Staright to Hell with a hefty bit of NYC in-fellatio-n.... b/c NYC, steet, cred.
Straight to hell has some decent clothing but their jackets are a joke. I do think these look way better than those.I'm thinking more along the lines of Staright to Hell with a hefty bit of NYC in-fellatio-n.... b/c NYC, steet, cred.
But also straight to hell is so hipster it hurts. Have never purchased anything from them.
I did. The LL dominator knock off. Decent. Not great. Kinda meh really. Fit nicely though.
Well not all bad then!
No not at all. Should be priced at $200.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. This would be a great jacket to wear for a fun evening, ie dancing at a club. The contrast softens it and the jacket says "fun." Solid black DR's are pretty intense.SLP B&W Fidelity in a size actually intended for human beings, 52 (40-42).
"Buh-but $2000!! I can buy 2 brand new (brand name) for that kind of money!!1"
Sure you can bruh but ur RMC's/FW's/FCL's worth 1/2 what u paid the moment that box leaves the workshop while this thing gonna cost $5K in 2024.
Plus it's a cool jacket.
