The Leather Bike/Racing Jacket Dilema

For some time now I have been thinking of bagging myself a leather jacket of some kind.

I've been avoiding them for a while now because I have been worried that some of the people when wearing leather Jackets are trying to look tough. If worn in a certain way with other items like really distressed jeans or padded trousers, it looks like the person is really trying to look like a biker.
I personally haven't got a problem with this, even if they don't ride a motorcycle, its just that i don't want myself to come off that way.

When I think leather Jacket I immediately think of 70's-90's films
I think Maverick from Top Gun
 

Or Tyler Durden from fight club


Anyway after looking at some leather Jackets for a little over a month now I feel like I can finally open myself up about the particular style I like and which ones I don't.
Allow me to share

Pull&Bear Biker Jacket With Perforated Detail In Black

For some reason I have actually swayed away from the black leather jacket.
I don't know why exactly, it might be because there is a subconscious feeling that it looks almost to aggressive and "biker wannabe" like.
I look at this and I think that it is a nice jacket but I don't see myself in it.

I started to look at brown leather jackets instead and for a while I was really into this jacket. 

I like the distressed look of the leather like its at least a few years old and has seen better days. But it gives it character. 

I decided not to get it however because I personally don't like the detail on the elbow lines. 

I would rather that this area stayed clean. 

Red Herring Brown Washed Leather Jacket

I like this jacket a lot.
I like the quilting on the shoulder and the placements of the pockets. I just don't like the colour of the brown. Its a little bit too clean. Like someones just gone over it with a baby wipe. I also don't like the way it goes with the colour of the zips. The combination of the gold and the brown for me does not work.
I still like it though...




Red bridge Men's Not Applicable Long Sleeve Jacket 

I was also considering getting a coloured leather jacket. This would be a risky move if the colour was to bold, I could be walking around like a failed attempt at a Michael Jackson cosplay.
But this risk is tempting.
But then I remembered that I have red hair...
and that would be just to much red to look at for one day.

my eternal enemy.
