How can I find a leather jacket like this?

[Mississippi_Wonder_Child]

I saw this jacket and loved the distressed look. It seems.. intentional from the creator and not normal aging, but what do you think? Any suggestions on where I could find a jacket like this (or this one specifically)? Or could this kind of distressing be achieved naturally?

Thanks so much and have a great day everyone!

The closest thing "new" you will find to that is Thedi.

That said, only the zip sleeves and fact it's brown cowhide (or maybe even lambskin on this one) you should be able to find many similar jackets for not a lot of $$$ on ebay.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I've actually found a couple nice ones on ebay by just searching "Distressed Leather Jacket".

Schott also does some distressed stuff. Overall the whole pre-distressed idea is rather frowned upon here, for good reason.

I think it depends on how the pre-disstressing is done. Cheap and poorly made, it's a disaster, and it's amazing that there are people who buy it. But tastes vary.
I can still remember the first pair of jeans I owned as a teenager (a good 50 years ago). They were untreated Wranglers with no signs of wear, and they shrunk when I washed them for the first time. It felt like it took forever for them to look cool. I was so happy when the first pre-washed jeans came out that already looked a little worn LOL.
I feel the same way about leather boots. I like creases, and when I get new boots, I really stress them out in the first few hours (but only by wearing them, of course, and without tools) so that they don't look quite so new anymore.
