Old leather jackets rule! I have two favorites....
&nbsp\\;

This one is 50 years old and still in killer shape.

This one is 40 years old.

Keep it. Vintage leathers go for big bucks. I'm looking for an oldie in an XL. Anyone?

Keep the old - my old jacket is just getting worn in and I bought it in the 90's.&nbsp\\; Just keeps getting more and more comfortable.

I'm still still wearing my 1983 AMF Harley-Davidson leather jacket and it still fits.
It's just a littls worn around the collar.
