A few years ago I bought myself a brown, military-style leather jacket. It fits great and made of high-quality leather. I get compliments all the time on how great it looks on me.

[@truehearted2295]

Something outside the box: I took a cheap solid color hoodie put it inside 1 size larger than I wear, a black BDU shirt (It's the old army shirts of time frame of the 80's but instead of camo its solid black shirt) I keep the 2nd to the bottom button buttoned as well as the next one up. This makes a very nice, layered look and you make the hoodie like a green or grey or even a cranberry red for a color splash then you got your shirt under neath as an additional layer and color splash. I'm using the hoodie as insulation and the military shirt gives a very masculine look to it. I've had several girls point out what I'm wearing to their guys wanting them to wear something like that. This is GREAT for the Fall and Spring.

[@wes9515]

Need more fashion videos. They are really good, informative and helpful.

[@drewlandeen7840]

All Saints makes some amazing jackets. Definitely recommend. Amazing video 🤘

[@mikeg1433]

The the bomber jacket was created by the U.S Army during WW1 way before the 50’s. I think it probably became popular as fashion in Europe in the 50’s? Awesome tips though and this is great advice👍🏼

[@samisatlacc7736]

IIRC it was invented in the 40s dor specific WWII flight conditions. 40s & 50s films really sold it to the world.

[@KC-bv9kf]

I agree with all the choices. They are timeless and each works for multiple occasions from 20-60 yo. Guys over 40’s, especially over 50’s, should consider a nice suede jacket, or even sport coat, in dark neutral color that can go over a knit piece from morning to nice dinner. The two caveats are make sure you condition and weather/water proof your leathers/suedes, and a decent suede brush. The other is the care of waxed jackets. They are tough and will develop a nice broken-in look, but they require very specific maintenance or will be ruined. Entertaining and informative as always!

[@ericksonc9468]

Wow you are actually amazing this was an insanely helpful video. I was like I might try this one girl I’ve seen before and now I know why I always go to your videos!!

[@michaeltesterman2109]

I currently own five waxed cotton Barbour Jackets. Absolutely love them.

[@ppw350Zunit]

Jacket of choice for me is bomber for sure. Live in socal so it doesn't really get that cold. When it is a little bit more chilly I throw a hoodie under my bomber. Can also do the same under a top coat.

[@DavidZMH]

I know some of these jackets can be used in Winter time but to me it looks like it won’t keep you warm when its really cold…will you make a video on Winter Jackets that look stylish on Men?

[@its_clean]

I just checked my closet and I own 10 jackets: a bomber jackets, a leather jacket, a woolen top coat, a light trenchcoat, a softshell jacket, a raincoat, a lightweight down jacket, a heavier waterproof down jacket and two winter jackets for snow conditions and very low temperatures.

[@bill4632]

I love my ST. JOHN'S BAY winter coat & Columbia jacket. The ST JOHN'S hold up very well. I saved at least $60. buying it at the end of the winter season. ( Kohls sale) It was originally over $160. brand new. I lucked out with my size still being in stock. I also have a black Charhart type fall/winter jacket that I use to and from work. It keeps my nicer one's from getting worn out or ripped.

Now we're talking. I'm very excited to see you doing mens fall fashion videos. I'm a big fan of the American Eagle jackets that come with the hoodie part attached to them. They come in different colors too. My favorite is blue. I'm also a big fan of leather jackets. I have a Guess brand black jacket that's my go to; but i plan on getting the ones you mentioned here. Although it doesn't it get that cold here in Louisiana; i do wanna get a new cardigan jacket. Anyways thanks for your time today. Be blessed Courtney 😊🙌🧡☕

[@GEORGIOARCADE]

@@craigmartin122 well these jackets was suggestions and of course you aren't required to use them. I think they fit the cold temperatures that fall and winter can bring.

[@x-man5056]

The sad thing is, I have 8 jackets but only two of what you showed, a brown leather and Levi Jacket, both of which I almost never wear. 3 of the jackets are Champion jackets from when I was racing, they have been worn, but almost never. The Levi one is a bit to tight around the middle now, I've had it since my 20's (I keep it for inspiration I guess). The brown leather is a Motorcycle jacket but it's mostly to hot for me, I don't usually ride in cold weather, and it doesn't fit very well. I have 7 different versions of hoodies too, they get the most use because they are the most versatile and comfortable, but not for Dates or real winter weather unless layering. Also 1 insulated plaid shirt and 2 vests. But in my defense I would like to say I have 4-5 colored waffle knit pull-over shirts that have adopted as 'spring and fall uniform' for approval?.😀 Epiphany: Half of may closet is jackets and hoodies. Only 7 button down shirts and none are white (1 solid light blue). Seems unbalanced, you think?.

[@Ashkarelessar]

Got myself the Teddy’s suede jacket from Reiss but in blue. Exceptionally good fit as if it’s bespoke . Couldn’t be more happier.

@@CourtneyRyan Hi Courtney thinking of buying a black leather bomber jacket. Always wanted one in my 40s but never got around to buying one. Now in my 50's do you think it is still a good idea to buy a leather jacket as a person in their 50's or in other words is a leather jacket appropriate for a man in his 50's. Thanks

[@joehebert789]

Living in Houston where it is hot and humid, I recommend an All Saints lambskin jacket for someone in a similar environment. It is lightweight for a leather jacket which increases the opportunities to wear it.

What would be the jacket one level up towards “fancy” from the Harrington jacket? I’m looking for a jacket to wear in office attire, shirt and tie, but not a sports or blazer jacket ..

[@nef_226]

“Over shirt” is also a good alternative for a shirt jacket

[@j.elliott8161]

One style of jacket not mentioned is the military M65 jacket, either vintage or modern brands sell their own versions. I own one from J Crew and I love it. If you're into military and rugged looks, definitely seek out one of those jackets. The peacoat not being mentioned at all was also surprising. Over/top coats are great but peacoats are a valid option too. Car coats are another alternative for that matter.

[@samisatlacc7736]

Great choices, I'm an M65 and leather car coat guy too. You might like my comment I made here about an houf ago ab.that .

Great video. What is the brand of Teddy's suede jacket? I feel like I'm having more trouble than I should finding a suede jacket.

[@kylemorris8302]

Question should overcoats have more a fitted design in the middle so it forms more to your shape or should they be just going up and down? Maybe I'm crazy but I just feel like the ones that don't conform to your shape may you look more box like.

Thanks for this. With the colder weather setting in being functional but stylish is important and good tips. Thanks Courtney .

[@mehmetciftci1896]

Do you think that black leather jacket is cold or repellent?

[@Ripcraze]

I really like top coats, a bit longer and heavier compared to flimsy jackets that only goes to the waist, I have those too but tend to not wear them because they flop around too much in windy Sweden and I can't really close it because its super tight and feels weird after working out every day since covid haha.

[@lolly4961]

They are not optimal while riding a bike or sitting in public transportation. Most people dont know how to dressup or down with the jacket and you can tell if its cheaply made

[@samisatlacc7736]

If you buy a field jacket (a black M65 ideally) their long enough to cover your butt to keep tou warm, and they hafe a waistline drawstring around the waist so it won't flop around, even if you wear it open in the wind.

[@Front-Toward-Enemy]

I really like my M42 paratrooper jump jacket. Rugged yet looks sharp.

As much I would love to add jackets to my wardrobe, I live in Florida where the weather is rarely suitable for a jacket. What kind of jackets would make sense in this case?

[@kennethjames8201]

Since Florida is basically warm year round, you really don't have a use for any insulated jackets. However, the rain can get bad at times, so I would recommend a lightweight waterproof coat to keep you dry, and maybe a heavier coat for stronger storms.

[@oliverpetroski4205]

Depending on the weather, I have bomber jacket with army cammo colour I recomend it to everyone. I also keep leather jacket (curently I have 2: a brown one and my fav. the black one. Yes the brown one looks less aggresive, but the black one is always cooler. For winter a coat that I have is the same look as ww2 german submarine crewman and it looks awesome, keeps me warm and it looks neat, elegant. A long trenchcoat is a must for winter, since it also covers your legs from cold air. I usualy buy them localy, I prefer of course to be made in my country as they are made to fit the weather conditions of my country. As far as price goes, its better to get something in the middle price range, not something cheap that has a same price as a flipflops, because if its super cheap, it has super low quality and zero weather protection It does not has to be same price as a car as well. A nice middle price always does the trick. Great video Corthey.

[@SergioKoolhaas]

thoughts on the panzer wrap? 🤔 it was functional and in my opinion pretty sharp.

Courtney. Where can I get a "real". Harrington G9 jacket. Many companies make variations, but I want to get an authentic jacket in the brand. I know it cost $350 to $500 dollars, but I want one. I am going to London in May and would even buy it at a store there. What USA retailers carry them? Jim

[@franzdoreza5230]

Man.. denim is a must have.. I believe every guy or a girl should have a great denim trucker jacket… Especially in a dark indigo or medium indigo slightly faded… But not so much the totally faded light blue denim that is to uniform… a vintage jacket that has faded over time still shows evidence of its original indigo color underneath… It gives it depth… Whereas the light faded jacket looks like one color, and it tends to look flat and ordinary… So I believe it’s better to go with the darker colors, but if you’re going to get the lighter color, try to find a great example of a vintage jacket with a great patina.

Dear Courtney Ryan.... Jackets are definitely important in Canada, winter wind howling, icy and cold, and be sure to wear a double layers toque.... In Canada, the best type of jacket to wear is insulated and Artic Designed to withstand a blustery snap of winter wind.... It's not the style that is important, it's keeping warm... And mittens or gloves come in hand and excellent snow-boots.... Unless people prefer wearing snow-shoes if they intend to go ice fishing!.... the end.... Courtney is so cool.....

[@franzdoreza5230]

You’re so right about not every jacket or clothing item looks good on everyone.. and I don’t like it when people have such generic outfits.. I mean they look nice, but there is no style… And style is about character, personality, and originality… People, men, forget to make it their own. They just go by what they see and it’s boring… They don’t have their own sense of style… As an artist, I always think about it… how something looks is really important, color and texture..fit and proportion… I love mixing really nice expensive stuff with stuff that I find in thrift stores… Wearing a cool cheap T-shirt with a great leather jacket and rugged logger boots… Eclectic, mix and match old and new.

Do you have any suggestions or guidelines about which skin tones tend to go best with certain colors? This could also go for any type of clothes. Also, what do you think about guys 40 and over wearing leather jackets? Should we stick with suede or do you think we can wear leather jackets and not look like we’re trying too hard. I’m assume the style of the jacket makes a difference?

[@SaintKines]

I realize this is almost a year old but I figured I'd post it for anyone wondering the same thing. I was with 3 very pretty women age 30 to 42 at the supermarket and a man that was at least 60 years old walked by wearing a black leather bomber, jeans and Redwing iron ranger looking boots. All 3 women commented on how good he looked and were ribbing me for not dressing as well as that older man. I think something like a simple leather jacket will almost always be acceptable but I am no fashion expert.
