Women's leather jackets

[navetsea]

Schott is discontinuing the coolest Perfecto on the market, which is a women’s model, judging by the fact that it’s on clearance at half off.

is it part of degenderizing pressure of stupid world we currently living? maybe male jacket would have shortish sleeve and more room on the chest to accommodate curvy(fat) female figure and any colors of the rainbow in between.

Which one is that? They have some nice options on there, though we only seem to see the lambskin ones over here that always seem overly fragile to me.

More likely fashion is simply moving on.

Not that anyone would be the first lady to adopt a "male" Perfecto and wear it better than many of the men - Joan Jett has been doing just that for decades now.

Bartender Edit: Sorry, folks - we really do like to keep it 'family friendly' on TFL.

Looks great but she forgot her leather nipple tassels

That one I've not seen. Sounds interesting - though other than when I was dressed as Doctor Frank'n'Furter, I never did care for fringing.

You are very much the artist.

I’m not usually fond of fringing but the design details of this jacket are fantastic.

I think the glossy quality of this steerhide helps a lot. It’s the same reason I think the fringed Lewis jackets look fantastic whilst the Aero Virginian misses the mark with its more lux-looking leather. The sheen really allows each fringe to catch the light and form a sort of spectrum when taken together.

The engraved western belt is also far more interesting than the belts on most motorcycle jackets. The whole look ends up being a very successful mash-up of western jacket and Perfecto.

lol they do take the curves into consideration with ladies jackets. Often there are two seams at the bust area but I can't figure out what's the purpose behind that...

Joan Jett knew how to rock a Perfecto

The razor blade scares me

maybe there is a synergy between fringed jacket + long hair + the wind regardless of gender, maybe that's why it looks good on women with mostly long hair, and natives or biker with longer hair, I imagine if the woman is wearing her hair cropped like annie lenox or marie fredriksson then it won't have the same effect

@Monitor needs to see this.

I disagree. I’ve seen men with short hair with fringed motorcycle jackets (including recently that Taiwanese man with the custom fringed Lewis Lightning). Looks fantastic.

Remember when someone newish here thought Monitor was Joan Jett herself in retirement?

Oh, now I do like the Western details, those give it a nice rockabilly edge that I've never seen on anything else. And from experience, a pair of scissors would soon sort out those tassels.
