I don't think the jacket itself looks bad at all. Standard & Strange makes even the most attractive products look terrible.
Yes, ideally you'd want some variation on the grain. I'd suspect a regular production model would look better overall.
Ah Ah! I don't know them much, but the way they dressed their model to showcase the jacket... no comment

I strongly believe that every so often, we need to be reminded of this absolute mega-cringe. Of all the jacket related horrors that I have seen, this bozo is among the top three.

I must have missed this. Who is it? Give me some context.

I guess I'm missing the point of concern here. Are you objecting to the killing of the boar, the wearing of the jacket while doing so, or the cheesy photograph? If the dead boar is the cause for concern, it's because you've never lived anywhere that feral swine have destroyed a large part of the habitat other native animals depend on (including the destroying of the animals themselves, including turkey nests and deer fawns).
If it's just the silliness of the photograph, and posting it on a website, then yes, I object as well.

Wild boars are machine-gunned in Texas from helicopters. They are bad. This dude, if he indeed killed one with (what is it, some kind of a spear?) has some serious balls. And come to think of it, as cheesy as it looks, the LW jacket protects him better than some camo. No problem with the pic for me.

Agreed about the use of the jacket - it is after all supposed to protect, if that's what the owner wants it for. I've used tincloth in briars with good success, but never leather (at least, yet...
).And yes, boar with a spear takes some sand. Even though it's usually done with a dog pack, it is a true challenge. My understanding is that many boar spears have a crossguard on them a little ways above the point, because the bore tends to get pi$$ed off and run up the spear at you otherwise.
Feral hogs are one of the few animals I can kill with absolutely no remorse at all. I despise them.

It's just a massive cringe-fest. Boar is a nasty animal and I'm scared to death of them so it's not the boar.
The photo is silly. I mean, just take a normal rifle like a normal person and shoot the thing. Guy is posing over a dead boar, wearing a $2000 dollars leather jacket and the most shit spear ever made. It has duct-tape on it!

I do have to admit the spear made me laugh. And no, I wouldn’t wear that jacket for that purpose either, but I guess he can afford to. I guess my reaction overall is more “chuckle” than “cringe”.

According to various wildlife research organizations, four people in the U.S. died from wild boar attacks since the late 1800s - three victims were attacked by a wounded boar while hunting. This photo is absolutely ridiculous - kill the damn thing and don't pose over it like you fought to the death with your spear. Plenty of safer ways to kill them without getting your photo-op.
Same dude would look the other way if a mean looking dude were breaking into a car on the streets of Philadelphia.
... and you know this how?

Common sense
You make definitive statements about a guy you don't know. That's your definition of common sense?
