Is This Leather Jacket Worth Keeping?
Was cleaning out my parents' attic when I found this weird leather coat. It fits shockingly well for something I basically found on a shelf, and I'm not one to turn down a free coat, especially a leather one, but I need this thing vetted by someone who knows what this is. The design is weird — it's like somebody took a normal bomber then slapped an olde timey medieval jerkin over the top. Googling around, I'm not seeing a single design like it and don't know how to even begin researching it. What is this thing? Is it remotely fashionable? Is it worth hanging on to, or toss it?

If it matters or helps, the brand is Roxciticus. It came with a detachable fur lining and I have a feeling it's probably a women's cut, but so long as it fits and doesn't make me look like a dork, that doesn't particularly bother me.
Keep if you like it. I think it works
Well, it's good to know it doesn't just look absurd on its face. I'll see how I feel about it as time goes.
Most importantly, do you like it?
Doesn't really matter what a bunch of randos on the internet think
I'm torn on it. I like it from the front. I'm a little 😬 from the back. Maybe it'll grow on me.
Yeah if it’s free then I’d just hang on to it and play around with it. Lots of pieces feel weird at first but get easier to style as you get more confident.
It doesn’t look weird to me fwiw. I like it and think it would be worth trying for a while
It's called an action back and its so you can move your arms more freely
Looks rad honestly
I think the back of it is fully sick
Ah cool! Thank you. I was looking for a bit of this sort of info too.
Bonus round question because I've never had to care for a leather coat before. Is this thing fine to just hang on a hook? Or does it need a hanger or something to maintain its shape?
I'd put it on a hanger, leather can stretch and warp with how heavy it is
