Leather Bomber/Flight Jacket Buying Guide
Anyone have an inspiration album? I feel like anytime I see a flight jacket it's over sized and boxy; which is fine but I rarely see it done well.

BILF leather bomber?
Hey, 57M here (birthday is one week away, so I may as well confess to being 57 -haha).
1987, received a very nice (Mark Shale, $400) brown leather bomber jacket (to go along with my Raybans...this was the era of Top Gun, remember). It's still in excellent shape, but it hardly makes for a warm coat in the winter, as they're isn't a high collar or much insulation.
When is the right time to wear it? In the fall, for outside / casual events? Is it so out of fashion now that I should give it to the thrift shop or local homeless shelter? I have many other pieces of outerwear, so it's not like I need this in my rotation - it's been years since I looked at it in my closet and thought "THAT'S the right jacket for today." Any thoughts? I'm in down-sizing mode (wife and I have each inherited a houseful of items from our mothers, and we are rapidly getting rid of stuff). Is it time to let this go, too?
