Not necessarily. Some styles e.g. the board racer / J100 are ‘riding shirts’ i.e. are holes are too high to layer with most thingsImo if you can’t layer anything, under your leather jacket, other than a t-shirt you are buying the wrong size. A jacket should be versatile, and you should be able to wear it as much as possible, so if you are buying that tight fashion fit you greatly limit the use of the jacket.
I would still buy it in a size where I could wear a long sleeved racing t-shirt underneath at least.Not necessarily. Some styles e.g. the board racer / J100 are ‘riding shirts’ i.e. are holes are too high to layer with most things

I’ve been screaming this lately. I know it doesn’t apply to those in climates where it doesn’t get below 50f much but for those of us in 4 season climates skin tight and sexy is only worthwhile if you’re 25 or younger.I wear heavy, thick sweaters over shirts or t-shirts. I no longer have a single jacket that doesn't allow for massive layering & isn't warmly insulated as I'm sick of being cold each year.
While good as a wind protection, leather is in fact counter-productive at battling cold. It's actually got cooling properties! It can trap and hold some warmth around you, especially if it's well lined with something providing decent insulation such as wool or polyester padded quilted lining, but in order for that to work, you need space and you need layers that actually sufficiently warm you up so there is some heat to hold.
Otherwise, wearing an I don't know, slim fitting cafe-racer over a thin shirt on an actually cold day may be worse than wearing just a thin shirt.
Leather jackets are intended to be worn over everything else so if you live somewhere cold, the sooner you drop the notion of looking cool in a slim-fitting leather jacket, the better.

Your looks in this cop jacket are the sickest I have seen, anywhere.Depends on how much room I have in the jacket. Thick wool is preferable but most of my jackets can’t fit that. Sherpa vest is another good option.

A good suggestion, but I think this thread is a bit more specific as it has evolved into how to keep warm by layering under the jackets.Some more ideas in this old thread:

May be worth merging, @Peacoat ?
PS - "layer" sounds better than "wear", lol...
This is all good stuff. I am kind of leaning towards something a little smoother so that it can slide in and out over my wool lining easier. Something like this maybe. The key is it would have to be fairly thin so that it isn’t too bulky. Anyone tried something like this? View attachment 474377
Check maybe the B-15 and B-10 jackets. Fully lined in alpaca/wool. If you're on a budget check Bronson, they are really decent jackets.I've been looking into a good MA-1 jacket or something like that but I'm not yet sure about it...
