    Have you actually got a motor bike ? If not, no, your too old.
  • You're never too old, just ask this fella:

    25 years old, but only it was before 1990
  • And you can wear them anywhere:

    Whatever you do, ffs don’t ask @T_C_E for fashion tips.
  • Go for black...

  • Ive still got one and I’d definitely be classified as too old and I don’t have a motorbike.

    It’s probably about 30 years old and nicely worn in.

    But to be honest I never wear it because I try to avoid wearing leather.

    I’ve often thought of chucking it out but can’t bring myself to do so.

    I might be tempted to get rid, if it had a good home to go too?

  • If you want one and you're confident wearing it then just buy it.
  • Poor cow.

    I'm consulting my distressed leather range back catalogue to see what stock is available for the more mature man about town.

    What's wrong with that?

    In California we call that "getting dressed." You add a sweater if you want to be fancy.

    Wear whatever makes you comfortable. Life is too short.
  • It depends on how it smells.

    Go to a few gigs each week and I just feel those 'once a year' members of the audience give themselves away with the deeply 'musty' smell of their jackets.

    Nothing wrong with only going to a gig every couple of years or so, but please, we don't need to endure your stench in the queue for the bar.

  • Get yourself a Belstaff, Bob. You'll look a lot less like a born again hooligan then bud

    I like the Outlaw but at 1350 sheets it's out of my price range.

    Yeah, they are a bit trumpy, but worth it mate
  • There's a load of leather jackets on eBay - depends on what style you want. Second-hand stuff can be good value.

    The Schott stuff is normally okay especially if made in the US - lasts a lifetime and easy to sell if you get bored of it.
  • I brought a leather jacket from the club shop once for £99. It had a massive Charlton badge on the back.

    Feck me, you only have to add you drink WKD blue straight from the bottle and your Charltonlife membership will be revoked immediately. ;)
