Lawless Reviews

You see them now, too. Don't you? D'oh!

I have the 15.2oz cone. Good standard denim, heavy weight for a shirt. Armor like.

That is possible I will double check when I get home. I love the shirt. Gives me more motivation to keep the gut down so I dont pop a snap! Gonna be the best motorcycle shirt.

@sal you were right I do like the amber snaps over the black color wise.

my placket's aligned.




Gadamn you! This is like anouncing "you just lost the game" in every post gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I have a black Citizen's Jacket. Just haven't reviewed it yet. In short, Black leather really makes me look like a badass

I'm really simple with my reviews, especially this one. I'm new to the world of leather jackets, and I know we have some SERIOUS aficionados here, so I don't want to over step my boundaries when I do it lol

ehhhh, do whatever review you want as long as you give your honest opinion...if someone doesn't like it wants to challenge what you think about something...and say that your opinion on something is wrong...tell them to suck a fart out of your butt.  I assume the brahs here will probably just give you some good advice and not knock your jacket that you already have because that would be counterproductive and lousy.  "I only buy the finest leather made from only cow scrotums from one of the finest farms in Italy.  The buttons are from chiseled moon rocks.  Your jacket is pretty blah."
This community is about information.  Without brahs like you posting photos and information, we would have to rely on the information from the Gustins (only the finest mills and freshest churned buttery shirts) and Lawlesses (only name rank and serial number...look at the photo and like it) and Cianos (EVERYTHING IS PLANT INDIGO...EVER!  AHHHHH!).  They are businesses...the people here give opinions without any incentive and I like that.
Shoot, I am not going to order that jacket.  You know how hot it is here...even though this past week was the coldest ever and I think at least three okinawans in my office froze to death...even though it never got below freezing.

The jacket looks well made and the leather looks substantial. From where I sit the stitching looks pretty spot on. I also like how it creases at the arms. And it has some nice grain going on that gives it character and this will only inprove and get stronger and more pronounced as you wear it.

I do not care for the bottom without even a line of stitching, this looks wierd to my eye. I also wonder what type of leather it is. Is it lamb?

So, yesterday/last night was my first time wearing it.

I will start my "review" here with THE BAD:

The collar seems slightly oversized, a la Gustin Chore Coat.
The brown piping; not really BAD, but it was unexpected, and wasn't what I envisioned when I purchased the jacket. (But, I'm thinking now that it was a genius idea to better incorporate my not so normal button choice)

The lining: it's the silky kind of liner that would be used in a blazer. I think canvas would have been far better through the body of it, and the silky stuff for the sleeves (so the jacket doesn't push/pull your sleeves when donning/doffing.

It lacks a "hang loop".

Chest pockets: from the perspective of practicality, I dislike the chest pockets. I don't ride motorcycles, but when I was wearing this jacket, I felt like I SHOULD BE RIDING A FREAKIN' MOTORCYCLE! That being said, the storage pockets don't work for quick simple access. They do look good though. What would be better served is side-entry zip pockets, or side-entry snap closure pockets. (I'm sketching a WS design that uses these kind of pockets.)

Nitpick: I think the sleeves should be a smidge more slim.

Now, THE GOOD:

The leather! Idk if it's vintage deadstock triceratops belly skin, or maybe just goat... But it's so soft, yet obviously substantial. Nice, even, deep black color, and it makes me smell like Ron Burgundy's library filled with leather bound books.

The overall look. In 3hrs of drinking, I was told that my jacket was very nice and that I look like about 5 different kinds of badasses. I was said to look like a hit man, a mobster, a member of a bike gang, a rebel without a cause, and "an underwear model, with great tastes in clothing" <---- all of those are ACTUAL statements from other people, lol

I'm gonna close out my review here, for now. It's not much, but damn good for a guy who's hungover and hungry as a hostage.

Overall, it's a nice jacket, and my new favorite while this cool weather last in Okinawa.

@untucked you need a motorcycle. Just do it now, it's inevitable.
