The Perfect Leather Jacket

Posted by Daniel 15 September 2008 4 Comments

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.
