I live near Toronto, and I really wanna pick myself up a leather jacket for christmas, I've tried the thrift stores in my area, but the jackets there are massive. I kinda want a really slim leather jacket though, a lot of jackets seem to have huge sleeves. Deos anyone know of any shops in downtown toronto (preferably on or within a 10 minute walk from queens) that sells really slim leather jackets?

thanks.

I dunno though, 600 seems like a lot, like the jackets at urban outfitters go from anywhere between 120 - 350 dollars.

if you've gone to thrifts, try exile in kensignton, there's a good rack of leather jackets, and they have two stores on each end of kensington st

There is a Levi's one in Urban Outfitters that IS real leather, motorcycle jacket type, but I think it's going for about $450.

If it looks like real leather it's good enough for me.

Also, to that dude selling his leather jacket, what are the dimensions of the jacket (I.e: Sleeve length, sleeve width, jacket length, etc)
I checked it out, It's too large

I need a small or an XS.

You'd have to get real lucky. Most run big.

If we are talking about the same one, the Levis ones at UO is faux leather. There is a hooded version and non hooded one. It goes for $168. It's nice, but too bad its not real leather
