okay, honest opinions....

So i was watching that show House last week (great show...love it)...and the main dude, Dr. House, was wearing a nice leather jacket in one scene...a biker jacket. nothing insane...straight black leather with red stripes around the arms...

similar example: http://www.biker-leather.com/graphic...er_MJ779_4.jpg

i dig it man....i want that jacket. i dig the look.
problem: i don't ride motorcycles. i hate motor cycles for safety reasons (my father lost his leg, etc)...

but i like the jacket.
so is it completely impossible to wear that jacket without being a complete poser?
again, i do not want to make some fake impression that i do ride bikes...i don't want one of those super colorful neon jackets or any of that shit...
just a leather jacket with the stripes...
is this an impossible dream?

I'm not sure why you'd care whether other people think you are a 'poser' or not, seeing as how you're not, like, in high school anymore. if you like it and you want it and you can afford it, have it. It's a practical item you will use. It's not like putting a rack on top of your car and driving around with skis on it when you don't ski or something.

I'm just sayin'... don't worry if people think this or that.
It's a cool jacket if you like it, wear it.

You don't have to have a motorcycle to wear that jacket, you fruity bastard.

yeah, i just don't want someone to come up to me and ask "so where's you bike dude? what kinda bike to you ride?"
and then i'll be like..."umm..i don't ride....it's just a leather jacket...that's all".

miss_bhaven · #8 12-22-2005, 09:44 AM

If you like it dude, wear it!

I don't see anything wrong with it

Qdrop · #9 12-22-2005, 09:45 AM

so apparently i am putting alot more thought into the possible "poser effect" than the people who would see me in it, huh?

If you like it...buy it. Why do you care what people think of you?
Think of all the people that wear DC shoes that don't bike or skate. Or all the people sporting basketball shoes that don't play. I just don't understand why people care about stuff like that.

beastiegirrl101 · #11 12-22-2005, 09:46 AM

Q-
1. I love House as well...great show, good taste
2. The jacket is hot....get it. If you love it and are confident you can pull it off.

i actually have some skater clothes and hats and i don't skate...but that's cause a local skate shop used to sponsor me when i Djed...and i used to play at thier skate shows and shit...so they gave me tons of free shit.
and i wear those shirts and hats without giving a fuck.
i guess you're right....

Yeah, I wear a shitload of surf brands (well, that's all I wear) and I don't surf or go to the beach all that often?

I don't care!

fuckin poser.

That sort of jacket doesn't scream biker poser to me at all! In fact, it doesn't really say biker to me at all.

Beware that there is a modified version of that jacket for women (without the stripe). I don't know if this is true all over the US or just in the Minneapolis area, but it is THE uniform for suburban housewives out for a night on the town.

There is no equivalent for men, so you're safe if you should travel to Minneapolis.

P.S. I have loved Hugh Laurie forever.

Super Duper. Wear it!

Honestly, if you have to ask someone if you should or shouldn't buy something based off not wanting to look like a "poseur", then you have bigger problems than potentially looking like a poseur.

Wear whatever you want. If you think you look good in it, that's all that matters.

P.S. Did you get the Helmet?

instigator7022 · #19 12-22-2005, 10:44 AM

Today I'm wearing a leopard print zip-up sweatshirt. I like it.

Echewta · #20 12-22-2005, 10:45 AM

You aren't even a leopord you poser.

well, it's just i personally hate posers....
i don't really want to be a hypocrit.

and let's be honest, people...WE ALL CARE what others think about us. that's human nature. the biggest bullshit mantra that this generation loves to spout is "i don't care what others think..."
bull fuckin shit.

you know what they call people who TRULY don't care what others think about them?....clinically insane.

and just got a FrankWycheck signed/framed pic....a football signed by Warren Moon, and another signed by Jeff Fisher.

THANKS!
