The Perfect Leather Jacket
As some of you may know, the recently opened Jonathan + Olivia (49 Ossington Ave) will be carrying the Justice X Surface to Air collection. The collection consists of three leather jackets and two pairs of jeans, with the leather jackets being the highlight. Only a few stores are carrying the line so I’m happy to see that a shop in Toronto was able to get the collection. Though I doubt that any young Justice fan will be rocking these pieces with the leather jackets going for around $1700 and the jeans priced at $325. Now, I’m sure that the cut, fit, quality etc…is great but I just can’t get myself to pay that much.
I’m also not interested in getting a mass-produced jacket from H&M or Zara. Your leather jacket should be (relatively) unique. That’s why I recommend (especially to all the skinny guys out there) to take a look at Black Scissors Tailoring (http://www.blackscissors.com/). Their readymade jackets start at around $300 and you can even place an order for a custom piece if you’d like. I know it’s not cheap, but for a well made slim fitted leather jacket that’ll last you forever, I’d say it’s worth it.
The justice x s2a leathers are definitely NOT worth the money. I think Nomad has them for around a grand.
I’ve been thinking of getting a blackscissors ready made jacket for a while, I think they’re very worth it. I wouldn’t go for a custom one though, they can’t seem to understand clearly written instructions… they f’d up a custom jacket for a friend of mine.
FYI, if you’re skinny and have no problems spending cash go for a leather jacket from Julius or the Viridi-Anne. Or if you’re really baller, an overlock leather from Carol Christian Poell is just about the most perfect jacket money can buy.
Sorry for the late response but thanks for all the info. I’ll definitely be checking some of these brands out.
