Default Which Jacket

I am looking at a few jackets I saw a nice one at the HD dealer but price was way too outrageous. So a little searching brought me up these two that I like.

Hit up the poll with which you like. If you don't like either F off your opinion is not wanted here unless you can point me at a jacket that is similar to these.

I like the first one. I have been thinking about getting a leather jacket, where did you find that one at?

I like the black and gray one. Am needing a new jacket myself...my $100 6 year old leather-up jacket is on it's last leg.

Could you give a link to the ones pictured?

I usually like black everything.

But the brown one looks a bit better. Kinda vintage looking. Maybe it's those ugly gray (maybe reflective) stripes on the shoulder of the black one that kills it for me

Both jackets were found on leather up.com and are from Xelement.

I have since found the brown one in a black color also

I like the brown one too. In-case no-ones told you by a size larger (Leather Up runs small, People in Pakistan are little). If you plan on putting a hoodie or a sweat shirt under it, go 2 sizes up. JMO

$100 and 6 years? Not too bad. I have a buffalo leather jacket from Leather-Up. If I get 3 years I'll be happy enough. Then I'll look at going with a Fox Creek. Looking back, I wish I did to begin with. I think you get what you pay for with Leather-Up.

Yeah, and the only thing really wrong with it is that both of the sleeve zippers are busted, plus I am wanting to get a leather jacket that has some armor inserts like my mesh jacket has.
