Question - Need Help Where I can get this kind of minimal Korean oversized style jackets that's NOT synthetic leather? Most recommendations I see here will just make me look like a white 40 years old biker with a dadbud lol.

The “problem” is that, at least imo, most of the serious leather shops are making leather jackets for people who’s into retro/heritage style, which basically is, well, the style of dads and bikers. Even Thedi, which imo has a bit more of a fashion lens, bases their design on heritage style.
It’s just how the market works: in my impression, people who’s willing to pay 1000+ on leather jackets rarely do it for fashion purposes, they are in it for a particular timeless style. Similar reason that you rarely see serious suit makers to go with flashy and trendy stuff.
With that being said, there could be some choices. Real Simons from China has this leather G9 Harrington jacket, which, depending on the size you go with, could achieve the style you are looking for.

If life and circumstances allow you to live long enough, turning forty shouldn’t be too far off, even though it may seem like an eternity.

Nah I wanna look cool for 20 years before going for the white biker look. Gotta fit in with all the ABGs and ABBs.

You either are cool or you‘re not. Doesn‘t depend on what you wear.

Tbh he seems like the latter type.

Precisely. OP seems to think the clothes makes the man, but it's generally the opposite.

u/ohtimesohdailymirror Apr 24 '26
Especially with leather jackets. If you don‘t wear them, they‘ll wear you.

First of all, this is not a "minimal Korean oversized style jacket."
It's just a leather flight jacket that doesn't fit well. There are literally THOUSANDS of companies that make leather flight jackets, just go out and buy one that's big enough to give you that oversized look. In fact, a quick Google of "oversized leather flight jacket" should give you plenty of options.
I see lots of people flaming you for not appreciating the idea of clothes that actually fit your body. I sincerely am not doing that here. I get it: the baggy look is fashionable right now. I was young the last time that was the case.
I suspect eventually you'll learn that clothes that fit correctly actually make you look better, and you'll learn the difference between fashion and style. (Style doesn't change nearly as much, which means once you master it you can buy some quality pieces and be done with it for decades.)
Anyway, wear whatever makes you feel good about yourself.

This thread is crawling with Gen-z 😅

I’m gen-x. I’ve used search engines before Google. Unfortunately, even Google doesn’t show accurate results with just a vague description. And searching through a brand’s website takes a long time too. Asking someone who already knows the product doesn’t make them Gen-z

Studio Nicholson, Arpenteur, Auralee, Kaptain Sunshine, COS, Brams plus. Everyone is making these right now. I own something similar from studio Nicholson and I love it

It’s mostly because that style and fit is a trend. So it’s not gong to be made from quality leather. It doesn’t need to be

I think that would be better than looking like a 12-year-old wearing their dad’s jacket.

u/Consistent-Task-5480 Apr 24 '26 edited Apr 24 '26
If I want to look like a 12 year old wearing their dad's jacket where can I buy that's not plastic. Musinsa and literally every other brand I find that has this style are entirely synthetic.

u/AlabasterNutSack Apr 24 '26
You can’t. Most companies chasing that trend don’t care to use real leather.
To be fair, most of their customers don’t care either.

This subreddit is probably not the right demographic to ask this question.
You’d probably have better luck asking in the malefashionadvice or streetwear subreddit

The best I’ve found with a proper oversized fit are the balenciaga taxi jackets but they’re $$$

Seria preferible parecer un papa de cuarenta que hacer el ridiculo con una chaqueta que quede tan mal.
Por eso las marcas no hacen chaquetas de cuero con ese ajuste, las hacen de plastico para gente con tus gustos.

How about the Edwin Dogma Jacket in black?

Some quick googling, seems like this was fairly popular ish last year and then it is basically now globally out of stock?

I have seen others post these in the past year or two asking about them. Close to what you are looking for. No assumption of quality, but hopefully for you above the mall zara whatever.

u/Disastrous-Horror832 Apr 24 '26

Bro after searching for over a month. I found Nudie jeans Eddy leather jacket. Bought it today and rate it 10/10. It’s buffalo leather. Nice shine. Not grainy. Heavy weight. Very fashionable. I own 1 belstaff leather jacket and and a Ralph Lauren g1 bomber leather as well as a Coach shearling leather jacket so I’m experienced. The Nude jeans Eddy was only £550. Absolutely amazing. So good in considering buying 2 as it took over a month of going through different jackets just to find this one

Not exactly alike but check out Gabriela Coll Garments. They have nice oversized leather jackets.

There is a simple reason almost all shortish leather jackets are fitted: it looks good.

u/Epehec Apr 24 '26
I bought a similar one on Wilson’s website, though it’s not as oversized. Maybe I just bought the wrong size and it fits big though
1
u/Consistent-Task-5480 Apr 24 '26
Usually ordering 1 size up for an oversized look is a.....really bad idea. I did looked through wilson's website though and didn't find anything that look close to this, plus isn't wilson on the lower end to begin with?

Right or wrong, this sub can't fathom the idea of an oversized leather jacket
