It'd be a lot simpler to just make this your signature at this point.
Signature? Naw..I'll just bring it up as I choose. How bout that..

I just cannot understand the trend to wear leather jackets up above the belt or barely covering the wrists that many now seem to applaud
I go the other way....I cannot abide sleeves that are too long, it ruins the whole look.

So, for me, there's a celebrity and there's a movie character. Justin Theroux always seems to know how to rock a cafe racer.
I know that the pursuit of the grail jacket is a futile endeavor. But, many of us have been on a journey of finding that perfect 'fit' and 'style' that we feel like we can really own. Various fit photos/feedback posts have been so helpful in landing on my current trove of jackets. I thought it would be fun and helpful to share the photos that inspired you towards certain fit and style.
Can you share what your current favorite styles are (as many as you want) and the photos that you think best showcase how the jacket should fit and be styled? The photos can be from the TFL members or any others you found inspirational along the quest.
Here's my contribution to get this thread going.
Cafe Racer/J100 for its simplicity and form-fitting* silhouette
*Can't stand those pants, though.

Cross-zip without the belt and all the metal blings*

And then there's my guilty pleasure, the lairy Belstaff Ryan Reynolds wears in the deleted scenes of Blade 3.
This one is cool! To be honest, Ryan Reynolds has best body shape for any kind of jackets (even from a man's perspective).
To me, I started off with this one, ended up buying it.
Yep. That's when I knew Cordo must be something from another planet.View attachment 146754
This is the shot that did it for me.
I was in a hotel once, and was woken up by this...actually.. Al yelling at my door.
