world war 2 era bomber jacket
What do you call this type of coat?

no need to be a dick
Except if you get a nice jacket with shearling, get a nice fit, wear it with a nice outfit, you'll blow everyone else of the water along with their burlington coat factory coats.

This type of jacket only really looks good if you're..
1.) living in a cold/snowy environment
2.) have at least an average to muscular build
Walking down the street in NYC with that sort of coat may just seem out of touch (then again the shit you see in NYC isn't really normal to begin with).

Sorry, but so many people do it like it's helpful. So many game recommendations are cryptic screenshots or tvs that are random google images. It just gets frustrating.
That still looks like carpet samples instead of the wool they use. :/
I went searching for a bomber/avatar jacket a long time ago.
Ended up finding the coat I wear all the time in a Wilsons Leather Outlet. It doesn't have the top fleece or whatever you wanna call that, but it is a similar brown style.
I should have bought like 4 of them had I known how much I was going to love it because they certainly don't make it any more. However, hind sight is 20/20 because 400$ for jackets wouldn't have been a good idea.
I guess I'm that guy, but whatever; I liked how it looked on Leon in RE4, so I wanted a similar one. Found one that is a little darker and suits my style a little more.

they will all look like that, hence the "shearling" name. all that matters is that it doesn't feel like a bath towel/carpet around your neck, which it won't.
nothing wrong with liking a style. I am sitting here in my cold office wearing this:

Aint that the truth
Why not? I get complimented all the time on my long red trench coat.
Leon Kennedy was the first 'person' to wear one eh?

Of course, this is "video game stuff" and therefore the exact same as dressing up as cloud from FF7 everyday. This was made FOR videogames.

I would need to see a picture before I tell him he doesn't have swag.

True, you can't just throw a jacket like that over carpenter jeans and sketchers or whatever and expect it to work.
I'd much rather party with him tbh than someone who wants that jacket just because he saw it in some movie trailer.
What's wrong with sketchers? I got 7 pairs for $33.67 at payless shoes.
They just don't have enough swag to rock Sketchers.

Hey I have a similar jacket:
Fashion Gaf ... is he pulling it off?
Just wanted to know cause it seems like the swag needed for this is pretty damn rare according to some here.
I'm gonna guess that if his inspiration is RE4 and Brendan Fraser, he doesn't have much swag.
I've always liked the look of Aviator jackets, they're definitely comfortable. Didn't these make a come-back in style between 2004-2006? I figured that's why Leon was sporting one in RE4. I remember a lot of guys back in high school had them.
Now I think they only really look cool if you've got the appropriate height and build (tall and relatively muscular). Otherwise they can look pretty goofy.

I think they are pretty much timeless, they are always in trend. I find that a lot of people have Aviators that are just too small and tight. When they fit well, they are very cool, but you need to have the Aviator sunglasses if you want to do it right.
Even in that pic, his looks good, but a tad bit too small.

They usually give you a bell-shaped silhouette. That's why it doesn't look good on most people.
Anyway there are many variations, and it looks different on different people. Try it in store to figure it out.
Not at all. This can end up making it look like a costume. It can look right, or not. You better be one of those models on motorcycles kind of guy if you're gonna do that.
