I am under 40 and I wear a leather jacket.
It's lambskin, designer and last winter I got it for 120 bucks at Macy's.
It was marked down from 495. I had to have the sleeves shortened. I have a surfers build. I get a lot of complements from our CSRs at work. They are female, cute and younger than me.
It is my first leather jacket. I really like it. Most importantly it isn't an aviation leather jacket for pilots.

Now you all just have to get a pair of Leather A$$less Chaps and you could all be a member of the village people.
Trenchcoat looks much better. In fact I saw a Skywest Captain wearing a leather jacket that was a little small for him and wearing his cap at ORD. He looked like a cab driver, way unprofessional.

They're just jealous because they have no idea how to dress themselves and resent a uniform actually looking good on somebody

Some guys are never happy with uniforms. The Blazer makes you look like you're in the Navy (Turns my stomach
) or Captain of the Love Boat, Leather Jacket a Tom Cruise wannabe. Might as well freeze. You can't win.

I just got the leather jacket from Stopover Store...$90 off right now w/ zip out liner. Looks good/a bit boxy. All other alternatives aside, it's great. Wouldn't take too much fashion advice from APC...just get what works for ya.
