30s half belt leather jacket

[xontros85]

Hi all
I’m after a budget / vfm 30s half belt leather jacket
I love the rainbow country Hercules but it’s out of my budget and I was looking for a “similar alternative”
Had an eye on that one

And I was looking for feedback about it from an owner

Thanks in advance

I have it in the burgundy color (bought from a different middleman, Tailor Brando), some brief comments here:

Chinese leather jackets

Did you guys order on Tailor Brando through his own website or Aliexpress? Price is basically the same on both. Seems like the same jackets are offered by other storefronts on AliExpress and they are cheaper than tailor brando. That's what I've done at least

It is the jacket I was complimented the most when wearing it, yet is the one that I reach out to the least. The color is very nice but I find the leather is the most boring out of the ones I have along the CW from my Vanson Chopper, which compensates it by being massively cool.

This said, I totally get the Rainbow Country being far out of budget, but there's a middle ground with Aero, Simmons Bilt and others, specially second hand.

What about the sizing / fitting?
I’m interested in Teacore

As stated in the linked posts, I'm 185cm, 87kg, ~111cm chest and 3XL fits nice. Also linked a picture of how it looks on me. I think the worst looking part are the arms, as they look like huge tubes. This seems common to many Chinese jackets.

Saw it !
Im 1.89 and 84kg
Chest about 42”
I was thinking to go with 4xl coz the dimensions are closed to my a2 (chest and shoulders)
Also I’m worry about the sleeve length..safe length is from 65cm and above

So you're slightly taller and thinner than me. I was actually 84kg end of 2025 and 3XL fit basically the same, while my chest is an inch bigger. I would not recommend you to go a size bigger, I actually think that 2XL perhaps would fit me well or, most likely, a non-existent 2.5XL would fit me the best.

On the sleeves the problem is not their length but how wide and tubular yet straight they are. Or rather not even a problem, it's just one of the many things that explains why you're paying so little compared to other more expensive options.
