What the hell? Are leather Jackets a no-no now!?

I saw this page just tonight.
http://men.style.com/details/feature...d=content_5189

Does this have any substance to it? I found it because I want to know if it is okay to wear my leather jacket without it's belt. It keeps falling out, and I am so thin, it doesn't serve the purpose of tighening around me waist.

You actually read that shit? I couldn't even finish it due to its sheer annoyance.

By belt do you mean one of those lame pieces of textile that hang from the center of the coat? I didn't know leather jackets had those. Maybe it's a new thing.

Lose it.

I didn't finish it either, haha! The jacket I am talking about is my biker jacket.
It looks like Malice's. I will take a pic of it for you in a few minutes.
The belt goes around my waist.
But it falls off if I don't do it up, and when I do it up, I am so thin, it really doesn't help much. It comes undone and flaps around.

Get rid of the belt if it doesn't really work for you and don't worry there is nothing wrong with guys wearing leather jackets.

Hahaha! You would think that wouldn't you! "only bikers and faggots wear leather jackets", that is just the sort of ignorant thing that would fly out of your ugly greasy maw. Don't rip on homosexuals. Don't do it.

You are so misguided and pathetic; you can’t even see how fucktarded you really are.

You are a one man show you know that? A three ring circus on two fat legs!
By the way, I still haven't gotten a visit from either you or your knuckle dragging cronies.

I knew your chest beating threats wouldn’t hold water!
I doubt you could make your sloppy body fit into a nice black leather jacket the way I can, and most of the other people here can. You couldn’t do it with ten tons of axle grease and a shoehorn!

*points and laughs*

There is nothing "flawless" about you. You are truly ugly on the inside and the outside. I didn't start the rudeness and death threats. You did.
You couldn't understand let alone read the United States Constitution even if your pathetic and pointless life depended on it.

You ARE a retard Lakita, a very fat and ugly one too. You reasoning is full of holes, don't even try. You aren't capable of clear and rational thought, so don't even try to outsmart me.

Ladies and gentlemen, I created this thread to continue where the other one left off. The point was to post pictures and chat about them.
Therefore I feel obliged to apologize to all of you because there is a bit of a flame war going on. This member by the name of "Lakita in the House" or whatever name she is currently going by after she was banned, is being rude, saying rude things and making death threats to me. I feel compelled to answer back to “her” because I refuse to sit silent when I am pushed.

Dead on Jack.

Opteron, I'd ignore anything about fashion in any mainstream sources if you want to look cool. Style, Details and GQ are aimed at mindless sheep who want to join the mainstream, and being any sort of punk/goth is about not joining the herd mentality. I'm sure those magazines are going to tell you backcombing and black nail polish is out too because, generally speaking, all elements of goth fashion have been out of style for years with the mainstream.

Back when I wore my punk jacket I wore the bottom of the jacket and the belt open when I wanted to look intentionally disheveled. It makes the jacket jangle a lot when you walk and draws attention to yourself. It's a great way to impose on conservatives in public places. I always think of Sid Vicious in The Rock & Roll Swindle. I wore the bottom closed and the belt buckled any other time since it looks nicer. Plus, if you belt the bottom tight and leave the top open it gives your torso a sort of V look of thin hips and large chest. That may not work on you since you're so damned skinny, or maybe it will create the illusion that you are bigger than you are.

Dude...don't take tips like that from a fashion mag! What's "out" today according to Them could be "in" tomorrow, and vice versa.

Just wear what you want, and don't worry about what's coming down the runway in Paris and New York. [That being said, it -is- fun to look at fashion mags on occasion to get ideas, or even for humorous reasons, but not as serious "What should I do [to please society]??" reasons!]

Yeah, it was preposterous what they said about wearing our leather jackets! Hahaha! The burned out sheep, by and large, can be fed nearly anything from a magazine and they will believe it and swear by it.

That video was priceless Man In Room 5! Awesome!

I am not anorexic; I don't know why other people think that!
I just don't eat very much. The idea of eating three square meals a day is detestable to me. Before you know it, I will be accused of puking. I don’t puke.

Hmm I'd say different things look good with different types of style. For people who are more fashionable or as my husband calls them, trendy a$$holes, I think a leather jacket is harder to pull off within that look than for people who are more like 'us.'

I'd avoid reading those types of articles as well, if you read too many of them your brain is liable to rebel and jump out of your head.
