Every classic garment will be picked up by people you don’t like sooner or later.

True! Fortunately perfectos and leather jackets were never my thing to begin with, so it doesn't affect my sense of self regardless.
edit: Still, I think the context of clothes is important to some dressers. Because leather jackets have become more commonplace and public perception of them has thereby shifted, have the past cultural and social associations been diluted and will they ever be forgotten? Does the perfecto jacket still 'mean' anything?Last edited by aussy; 10-12-2016, 07:50 PM.

Nope, I definitely prefer seeing a perfecto in some off-duty model #ootd. All that said, I love my Stooges, it's just so squishy.

Of course it does. But the only thing that’s important to me is the meaning I see in the garment. To stay with the example of the perfecto: when I wear my Schott, all I think of is how soft, carefree and comfortable it is. I enjoy wearing it and that’s the most important thing to me. And of course there are basic bitches wearing a similar or the same jacket, but that’s not my jacket. Because me wearing it puts it in a different context and therefore gives it a different meaning."The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in."

By now riders are just a fashion wardrobe basic. This one has some visual impact because the (calf) leather is heavy so it looks rather stiff and imposing but I'm not sure it spells Brandon or Ramones for many people. Sure I wear them because of the Ramones and whatnot but that's different than thinking it matters to other people nowadays.Selling CCP, Harnden, Raf, Rick etc.
