Guys, save me from dropping over 700 euros on an Our Legacy Mini Jacket!

Hey everyone,

I am dangerously close to pulling the trigger on an Our Legacy Mini leather jacket, but I need you guys to talk some sense into me. Please tell me there is a better option out there for this price (around €700). I am totally open to hunting for a used jacket.

I'm usually looking for a US size 44-46 (or EU 50-52). Standing at 191 cm and weighing around 94 kg, with a 42-43" chest and 52 cm shoulders, I need something that can accommodate my frame. The Our Legacy jacket is notoriously cropped, and I'm worried it's going to look ridiculous on my height.

Here is exactly what I am after (and what I actually love about the Our Legacy jacket—you can see exactly how the leather looks and moves in this short clip: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DS7WF0XjLhD/):

  • Fit: A true boxy fit with strong, pronounced shoulders.
  • Details: A big, prominent collar.
  • Leather: I want a nice, shiny, high-quality leather. It needs to be sturdy but still feel "meaty" and substantial. However, I absolutely do not want that stiff "shoe leather" feel (so no Chromexcel, please).
Am I crazy for looking at a fashion brand when there is so much incredible heritage stuff out there? What specific makers or models should I be searching for that hit these exact specs on the second-hand market?

Thanks in advance for saving my wallet!

Is the jacket in the video the same jacket as this - https://www.ourlegacy.com/mini-jacket-top-dyed-black-leather

Because its quite a different fit and look on the model there, I mean the one in the video looks to big for him so IDK, it seems like this has a bit of an 'anti-fit' vibe.

The only recent jacketI can think of with an oversized collar is this one. I don't think they made many of them but they come up every so often and are inexpensive. I tried one in a brown and the leather was decent for the price but the whole thing felt a bit costumey somehow, as opposed to vintage(in part for me it was the big collar) so I returned it.
