I'm looking for a heavy, waist length leather jacket in BKK. There must be some out there. I went by the little place on Sukhumvit Soi 1 yesterday. All of their stock is used, which would be OK, but not of very good quality. Any ideas ?

Zara? If you want heavy better check bike shops

Chatuchak. Secondhand. Come up from the mrt at Chatuchak park, cross the park and enter into the market, look round the stalls to your right as you come in.

 

Probably a bit hot & humid to be walking about BKK in a leather jacket, don't ya think? I'm already drenched in sweat walking around in a tshirt.

I got one half price in Massimo Dutti last year...was 7500 Baht....wearing it right now!

Hey Ronaldinho ! Thanks, I'll have a look. I saw one in Hugo Boss yesterday for $43,000 baht !

 

Off for a few days in Amsterdam in December. My ragged wife-beater won't cut it.

You can find some crappy ones in Pratunam too....in the scrum of course Mr De Bruyne.

 

Its worth checking both the stores in CentralWorld and at Siam Square as they carried different stock I noticed.

 

Edit: Heading back to Bangers for a few Xmas beers I hope?

Oh yeah. Just a round trip back to the states for a wedding. Amsterdam breaks it up. I'm thinking of pitching my tent in BKK for the forseeable future. I can't find any place better for the money...and I've looked a good bit.

 

Go to the Waterlooplein fleamarket, loads of leather jackets there.

Good call ! I found a heavy, black leather jacket in VGC for $1,500 baht. Tough to beat.

Selling my Belstaff if you're interested, too hot and heavy to ever where here.

Great! Glad to help. I can't go to that part of the market anymore.... there is a leather rucksack, bag, holdall stall, and I am powerless when I see things he sells, I have bought way too many things from him. So I don't allow myself to go anywhere near that area anymore :-( 

Leather jacket will not handle the sharp Amsterdam cold. When in the dam in cold months I'm sporting a Alexander Mcqueen bomber jacket wirh super insulated padding. Best grab a woilly jumper under a leather and don't forget your ear muffs
