I'm only on my second jacket now. I wore the first one until it fell apart as you can maybe make out. Marlon Brando style it was.

Given that I weigh about 70 pounds more than I did when I got my first leather jacket, if I still had it, a classic black one that my grandmother (!) got me when I was 16, it would be way more that 1 size too small. It came from Sears, it was a really heavy duty cowhide. I had it until I was about 25 when it was stolen (with my car and house keys inside) from the restaurant where I was working at the time.

Sadly no pictures of it, but it looked basically like this:

Here's my old Buco t-100 , had it since the 80's. It doesnt fit anymore. Bought it from an old drag racer with the pants to match. Love the hell out of that jacket. Paid 50 bucks for the pair. .... wait for it ..... I just listed it on ebay and within 10 minutes I had a bidding war. Sold it for $850!!!! .

Me with my daughter in 1995, It was a great jacket.
Notice the black tire marks on the chest and sleeve. Jacket was strapped to rear rack, fell off and jammed between the swing arm and tire. Locked up rear wheel on freeway doing 70+.
Boy that was a ride trying to get to the side of the rode.
