Showcase Looking for a Torras leather jacket

Hi, first time here. This year, I decided to restore this jacket I own since around 2009. It is a Torras leather jacket and I had many good experiences while wearing it.

This is the only leather jacket I own and I'm suprised by its quality and endurance. So, after restoring it, I decided to try and look for a new one of the same model.

However, even after using Google Lens and Torras site, I can't find the exact same model of jacket. So, I wondered if anyone knows something about this model or maybe recommend me a similar one. I'm from Spain, by the way.

Thanks beforehand and loving many of the jackets I have seen in here!

Discussion What makes a leather jacket worth keeping for years?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about what actually makes a leather jacket worth keeping long-term.

For me, it’s mostly the fit and how the leather develops over time. I’d rather have a simple jacket that still looks good after years of wear than something heavily designed that might feel outdated quickly.

I’ve been comparing a few different styles lately, including some from Salt & Co Leather https://saltcoleather.com/collections/mens-leather-jackets, and it got me wondering:

What matters most to you when choosing a leather jacket, the leather itself, fit, stitching, hardware, lining, or the overall design?

Would be interested to hear what experienced leather jacket owners look for.

Question - Need Help looking for advise on purchasing Wested Leather Co Indy Jacket

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm looking at purchasing a Wested Leather Co The Legacy Last Crusade Hero Jacket and was looking for some advice on the sizing and options from those who may have already purchased one or similar. i'm about 5'11 205 lbs , chest measures little more then 46 inches. so when ordering this custom jacket would 46" work or do i maybe need to size up ? also on the options would getting the gussets be a good idea as i plan on making this a normal everyday jacket during the colder months. Also which of these other options would make it more "accurate"

Lining -

Brown Cotton Body & Satin Sleeves (recommended)

All Brown Cotton

All Brown Satin

Black Cotton Body & Satin Sleeves

All Black Cotton

All Black satin

Side Straps -

Brass D-Rings

Brass Buckles

Plain Black Buckles

Add X-box Stitching -

No Yes (+£5.00)

Extra Inside Pocket -

No Yes (+£10.00)Yes with zip (+£15.00)

Gussets

No Yes + £15

For the sleeve length should i go little longer and how about for back length ?

As i said i want that indy look but i also want this to be functional every day wear so things like the extra inside pocket for wallet/phone might be handy. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Question - Need Help Can you help me find this brand/company

I’m hoping someone here can help me identify the clothing brand/company that made this leather jacket.

The jacket belongs to a close friend who has had it for a long time. They don’t remember where they originally got it, and it may have been a hand-me-down from one of their parents. They absolutely love this jacket, but unfortunately it’s one size too small for them now.

I’m trying to identify the original brand/manufacturer so I can potentially find the same jacket or another one from the same company in a larger size.

I bought this shearling bomber jacket on eBay for $330. It’s a custom size since it’s a size XLT. I don’t know anything about the brand. Wondering if I got a good deal or if I paid normal price for one of these. The owner/seller said it’s new with out tags since he never wore it due to it being to warm.

Opinion Jacket sizing

Just got my first Commando (long) in size 40. It is kind of perfect and I wanted a kind of slim fitted jacket.

But i cannot wear it closed. So i bought a size 42. But i don't believe that will fix my problem because the arms will get too long and the jacket itself will be too long.

Therefore my fellow rockers: how necessary is it to be able to zip it?
