Rider's jacket for men in their 40s: tips on how to dress and personal views to convey.

The rider’s jacket is a permanent staple of men’s clothing. What kind of riders’ jackets should men over 40 choose and how should they coordinate them if they want to look good for their age? In this issue, I will introduce my personal opinion and fashion snaps taken by the editorial department for reference as an example of how to dress for men over 40.

Personal Opinion on Selecting a Rider’s Jacket] Men in their 40s and older should pick up a “real rider’s jacket” and hone their eye for selection!

Riders’ jackets are a staple item of clothing, and are available in a wide range of styles, from luxury items from hardcore and luxury brands such as Lewis Leather to low-priced items from fast-fashion brands. In addition, there are also brands that tend to be dismissed by fashion lovers of the monosyllabic type, such as brands that are completely unknown overseas even though they are foreign brands, but are recognized as popular foreign brands in Japan, and sell well despite their fairly high prices.
It is only my opinion, but as for the riders’ jackets, I think that it is a category that should be strongly conscious of (and if possible, should obtain) genuine goods. For example, ” Lightning ” and ” Cyclone ” by Lewis Leathers, ” New Manila ” by James Groce, “Model B” by Vanson Leathers, and “Model B” by Vanson Leathers. The classic models such as Lewis Leathers’ “Lightning” and “Cyclone,” James Growth’s “New Manila,” Vanson Leathers’ ” Model B,” and Schott’sOne Star” are expensive, but they are absolute classics, and should be strong candidates. If you are on a tight budget, I personally recommend that you wait until you have enough money to save up, or look for a second-hand model of a classic in good condition.

Of course, there are high-end brands with an established reputation for riders’ jackets, such as Saint Laurent, and some of the most popular leather jacket manufacturers in Japan, but it can be said that many of the models that have gained a certain level of popularity are strongly influenced by the real thing. Whatever kind of riders’ jacket you purchase, we recommend that you take a look at a classic model of Lewis Leathers or James Groth’s riders’ jacket at least once and use it as a standard to develop your eye for riders’ jackets, including the basic type of design, the quality of leather, the quality of sewing, and the acceptability of the price!

It’s one thing to accumulate knowledge about how leather is tanned, but I think the best thing to do is to get in touch with the real thing. I would like to say, “Shut up and go to the main Sukiyabashi Jiro restaurant before you go to all the sushi restaurants that you have researched so hard on the Tokyo Calendar or the food logs! Then we’ll talk about it! I remember being instructed passionately by a gourmet friend of mine. I sincerely hope that each of you will be able to find a rider’s jacket that you will be satisfied with, as it is often a very expensive purchase.

If you feel that all-black is too heavy, try adding a bright accent color, such as a white inner T-shirt worn at the hem or around the neck.
