Anyone pulling the leather trench look?

[Krassus]

Alright, here's something a little different. I was at the mall the other day and dumped into a Danier Leather store. The girl there told me that since i'm 6'2, i should give one of their leather trench coats a try and just to amuse her and myself, i did. And damn, i gotta say those things look unbelievable. I was wearing beige pants and shirt at the time, so the colors were a little off, but i think it'd look flat-out stunning with a black pair of pants and perhaps a gray shirt. If i can afford it, i'm thinking of picking one up this fall. Talk about standing out!

Yeah I'm 6' 2-3 and have a 3/4 length leather jacket, cost a small fortune but damn, I wear that thing and every HB on the street checks me out. You gotta be tall (and preferrably well built) to pull off the look though.

Indeed. Otherwise, you just look like a sci-fi geek.

Very true. It seems that's the danger of any trench coat really -- ever since Comumbine I can't put my London Fog on without thinking I look like some kind of shooter (and my coat is a green business looking one).

Do guys and the cops check you out too? I'd be wondering if you were concealing a weapon.

I'm talking bout a 3/4 leather jacket, not one of those flowing 'to the shoes' matrixy style trench coats, something kinda like this:

Yeah - I checked out those pics and I have to admit if you're tall enough to pull it off, do it.

There's something about leather that brings a man to a different level.
