In Need of a Leather Jacket

by **Metal Iain** on Sun May 21, 2006 4:08 pm

Alrighty folkes!

I was stupid enough to cut my hair back in September '04 and have finally come back round to the conclusion that I should go for the Thrash look again. To be honest, I can't be fucked with the whole patches on a denim vest motif plus I think leather jackets just look better.

Where did y'all get your leather jackets?

One from my uncle and another from TK Maxx

I would have a look on E-bay. I think TK Maxx is a good bet too. As well as decent leather jackets they get some awesome hi-tops in there. My other half and I often have a browse and reminisce about the old days. Mind you ... everytime he sees a pair that he's just got to have ... they never have them in his size. :lol:

The quest continues ...

yeah, TK Maxx has got some good hi-tops, I got my Nike Air Baltoro hi-tops from there.

Cheers, will have a shifty in TK Maxx when I'm next in Ggow.

CAR FUCKING BOOT SALES!

There is one dude that has a whole rack of leathers from £10 - £30.

Go check out your nearest one, seriously!

I agree with Atom. 2nd hand leather is the best.

I got mine from a Scout jumble sale :dance:

it is completely stupid to buy them new thats for sure unless you want to spend 150 £ plus for a shiny new leather that looks newly greased up?

Your jacket is nothing like I have in mind though. I want one of the short ones with tons of zips and etc.

Cheers for the advice folks - I had a shifty around town and came to the conclusion that I'm not finding one any time soon so I'll keep my eyes pealed for possible sources.

Haha!

It turns out that there's pretty much a fucking leather district at the far end of Argyll Street, half of the shops are closing down or running sales so I managed to find exactly what I wanted for £70. I have to contemplate if buying a leather jacket is worth sacrificing a couple of nights out with the Amok crew...

Yeah do it, a leather is for fucking life.

No life til leather!

by **Metal Iain** on Thu May 25, 2006 5:36 pm

True but, due to my raging alcoholism, that still won't be very long haha!

A week tops :lol:
