I just think a leather jacket is really fucking cool

Imagine a jacket that will last decades and that you can even pass down onto your child and grandchild

Absolutely, since the jackets are washed once a season if that, and by leather cleaning specialists

Regular clothes get destroyed easily by machine washing and drying every week

Where is the market for clothes that don't do this ?

gray color clothes, light blue, but they will still lose their shape

Dark clothes look faded after washing

White clothes look stained

I had some really nice looking polos from Ralph Lauren

They all looked like shit after washing for a few months, since the collars would curl upwards

So basically anything you wear ?. Now I understand why normies always have a constant rotating wardrobe every 3 - 6 months

Clothes can last your entire lifetime if you just need them to stay intact and keep you clothed

To have them look pristine and sexy, you’ll need to rebuy them every 6 months or so, if you wash them every week
 
i have this same mentality except for police uniforms. i got rejected by ice and the sheriff's department due to age and failing the psych eval, but i still wear the sheriff's green jumpsuit around town and sometimes i wear the outer plate carrier as well. from a distance i look like a cop i sometimes use this to my advantage. if you don't announce you're police, it's not illegal

lol you're retarded. you're treating clothes like it's a priceless watch or something. absolutely no one gives a shit if your clothes aren't brand new looking.

You can become a correctional officer

Lower standards

There’s the lounging around and working out clothes, where you don’t really care if they’re in great shape

Then there’s the clothes you wear to business meetings, to work, to weddings, to dinners, to dates, that you do actually want to look nice
 
I have exactly the one in mind

Polo Ralph Lauren
unless you buy from their double r or purple label that shit won't last long. buy from a dedicated leather goods house.

Good idea. I like to get mine from thrift stores because you can find really expensive jackets for quite cheap. The best time to get the jackets would've been in the summer when people thrift their winter stuff because they don't have space for it. Leather jackets take up a lot of room in closets, so I tend to see them in thrift stores more often than not.

I got a $200 one from Wilson leather years ago and it was awful

I gave it to my father, and he’s only used it a handful of times

The Polo leather jacket is more looks than quality

I’ve felt it at Macy’s, so I know what to expect from it
