which jacket

[soda7o]

OK i need a new jacket... I want something plain and that does not look like a crashed into a damn Benjamin Moore store...
I wan tit to be black or a neutral color and my budget is around 200

So far I looked on new enough and found two jackets I kind of like (shown below) but if anyone has any other suggestions or sites feel free to post up


Jacket 1 A* ($210)

Thinking of the white and black one


Jacket 2 JoeRocket ($190)

Thinking of getting the black.

i have the same jacket a*s Ice. Black and Grey, Thick jacket and enough protection [shoulders and elbows], good ventilation. you might want to double check that color [black/white] looks like they only have one size for that price. blue and red have different sizes available.

fits true to the size, i wear an 46 [euro 56], i was 205 lbs and fit me good.

it comes with a liner inside, which is removable. helps in cold days i would say about 45 degrees with a thin sweater inside you are good to go.

on hot summer days, remove that liner, open up the zipper vents [front and back], and you are good to go.

I've had it for 2 years, very happy with it. zippers are great quality, never had any issues.

I originally got the same a* a few months a go. They run kinda small and they don't have zippers to attach to pants. I ended up returning it. The leather is thick and top quality though and looks really nice with a waxlike finish.

I treated myself to a Dainese Perf jacket this winter that I got on ebay for $325. Its pretty plain-looking colorwise.

BTW They are Alpha-sized. I got the large and it ran a tad small. At the time I was about 190 lbs. looks like new enough only has the XXXL in the white and black.

Steer clear of the white, it gets dirty quick.

Let's ask Kon if he'll enjoy scrubbing leather for hours.

Don't get the white one, Soda. I just finished cleaning the my new white perforated Dainese after 250 mile of backroads yesterday. The bug splatter just seem to look more vivid on a white jacket. It was an extra pain in the ass trying to get the wings and legs stuck in the perforations. I was not amused. The price of looking cool is very steep indeed.
