Guess Leather Jackets For Men

By


I got my first leather jacket early on in high school. It was brown, and I remember that London Fog was the brand. I've no idea if the thing had been made in the United Kingdom or not, you know how brand names so seldom correlate to being what they say or imply that they are these days. It was the same more than twenty years ago when I got that jacket, and I kept wearing the thing for a very long time. Finally, it wound up being stolen while I was living in one of those places a man doesn't like to have to live at. I never saw it again.

The second leather jacket I ever owned was really a suede jacket, and it was also brown. I don't recall the name of this brown suede jacket because I didn't wind up getting to wear it nearly so much. It had gotten a bit dirty the way that suede will sometimes do, and so my mother took it to a dry cleaner in Terrell, Texas; and the place magically went out of business just like that, and I suppose they kept the nice suede jacket that was mine and not theirs, and used it in some small manner to recoup their losses. I hope their ill gotten gain had picked up some manner of parasite, and eaten into the flesh of the usurpers. Hey, you wouldn't wish for me to put a pretty face on everything, would you?

The third leather jacket I got was the infamous and ubiquitous black leather bomber jacket. Surprise surprise, I've still got the thing, and it's rather worn in, but also hasn't ever been worn so much as it could have been. I hardly ever go anywhere at all any more, and when I do go somewhere, it's often not the kind of place one would wear one's nicer clothes too, or it's just that I'm going by bicycle, and so that's not a mode of travel that suits nice clothing. It's a Wilson brand leather jacket, and I intend to wear it more....maybe that will happen when God calls a cease fire on the global warming thing that the industrialist that have all the money expect us poor to pay taxes and carbon credits on in behalf of them for.

That Would Be ME, In My Guess Leather Jacket

My Guess Leather Jacket

Now this last Christmas I got from my mother and father the Guess leather jacket that you see above. Well no, not initially, at first I received a Guess leather jacket that didn't fit so well, the sleeves of it went past my hands. I'd say it was a bit too large, and anyone would agree. So the initial Guess leather jacket was returned for another one, and the smaller and correct size for me was not available in the same design as the one that I'd had, and so It was exchanged for the one that I've got.

I can't say whether or not I'd have liked the first one the best, it's just a memory now of something that didn't fit right, and I'm not likely to become any more pleased than I already am with the one that I've now got. In the end the Guess leather jacket that I wound up with as a gift from my mother and father is very satisfactory in every way. It's got an inside liner that zips in or out depending on how cold you think it is, lots of nicely located pockets on the inside and the outside, and a rough and rugged sort of look that is also something that you appreciate in it's structure. It just seems like something I'm going to enjoyiwearing during the Falls and Winters for a lot of years to come. I only need to take care that some miscreant at a rehab or a going out of business and thieving dry cleaner doesn't decide that they need it more than I do.

In any case, I like the looks and feel of the thing so much that I'm recommending it here to anyone anywhere, and especially to men who like utilitarian clothing for work or play. I can only imagine that Guess brand women's leather jackets would suite most women in the same manner of pleased as I am with this one.

Cheers!

Blue jeans, a plain white t-shirt and a black leather jacket, there is no need to be any more complicated than that. When you wake up in the morning, just walk over to the sink and give yourself a good ole cowboy shower, and you are ready to start another day. Rules to live by ..

I have had a few leather jackets in my time, during my more prosperous years. The thing I liked most about them was the smell. I love the smell of leather.

Estate agents say that you should have the smell of baking bread wafting round your house if you want to sell it. If anyone ever wants to get me to buy their property, they would do best to have some nice leathery aromas tickling my nostrils.

I hope your jacket gives you lots of pleasure Wesman. It really suits you.

Looking sharp Wesman!

I am ashamed to admit but I have never owned a leather jacket in my life, never thought I was enough of a badass to pull of the look.

Rarely is a photo of the author so appropriate to the article it's featured in. Love this write-up Wesman! My favorite jacket is a faux bomber jacket by Pacific Trail. The older it gets the better it looks. I think I might just be buried in it.

Heck Yeah Christopher!!!!!!!!!!

That's also so dang interesting advice so far as real estate sales!!!!

Thanks very much!!! You know what I like? The smell of starbucks!!! Coffee and cinnamon, nutmeg, etc!!! Also, the smell of lots of books at a coffee shop/book store! It just smells nice and bright, like Hemingway's "A Clean, Well Lit Place!"

Theeyeballkid - I'm five foot nine with my big boots on!!!! Hundred and fifty pounds sop and wet!!!

I'm not a big guy - but the thing with the leather stuff is that it lasts forever! You can't get the mileage out of cotton that you can get out of leather!!!!

Thanks very much!!!

LiamBean - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I can well see and understand someone thinking about what they'd wish to be buried in!!!!!!!!

I'd probably pick for me that jacket, and some of my ...I'd have to pick which ones, super nice steel toe leather boots!

I read last year about a guy that was arrested for stealing a guitar out of the coffin of someone. I totally sympathized!!! Some dumb dead man wanted to be buried with a highly valued and rare guitar!!! Those things are to be PLAYED not buried!!!

LOL! My mind - it would be a terrible thing to taste!

...so It's clothes, lets leave the musical instruments to the people who are living!

It looks very nice on you.

For some reason I adore London Fog gear. I think maybe it's that a relative of mine used to have this killer LF leather coat that came to his knees. He looked like he stepped out of Tombstone when he wore it, lol.

bethperry - Ah, I'd like one of those myself.

I sort of hope that maybe someday I have ....money and a reason to leave the house from time to time again. I'm such a hermit.

I had no idea you were a model Wesman. You should be on magazine covers! I am so used to seeing you with a guitar so imagine my surprise you posing in your jacket.

I used to have this recurring dream of me wearing all leather and riding a motorbike. It's scary.

Cardisa - HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks You Very Much!!!!!!!!

Well, if I sell any of these ...I'll claim I've been paid for modelling!!!!!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!

I'm skeered of leather pants though!!! I hear those things are really uncomfortable!

I SO WANT just a little Japanese motorcycle though! It's gotta be able to beat my bicycle!
