Join us on Radial TV as we dive into the world of the coveted Saint Laurent L01 leather jacket. Discover the allure of this modern classic that has captured the hearts of fashion enthusiasts, brand loyalists, and celebrities. In this review, we explore the history, design, and style elements that make the L01 a standout piece in luxury high-end men's fashion.
Unveil the origins of this Saint Laurent leather jacket, which debuted in 2013 under Hedi Slimane's creative direction. Learn about its iconic design, including classic biker features like epaulets, multiple zip pockets, and an asymmetrical zip closure. We highlight the craftsmanship that goes into creating this Italian masterpiece, expertly tailored by skilled artisans.
We discuss who the L01 is for-fashion enthusiasts, brand aficionados, and SLP superfans who appreciate its cool and sleek aesthetic. Celebrities have embraced the L01, including Kid Cudi, Kate Moss, G-Eazy, Jeff Goldblum, and more.
We also address who the L01 may not be suitable for, such as bikers seeking jackets designed specifically for motorcycle riding. Affordability is another consideration, as the L01 sits at the high end of the price spectrum. We compare it to the Schott Perfecto as an alternative that offers great quality at a more accessible price.
Discover styling tips to elevate your look with the Saint Laurent L01. Whether paired with a basic tee, dark wash jeans, and Chuck Taylors for a casual-chic approach, or with Chelsea boots and a shirt-tie ensemble for a more sophisticated style, the L01 is a versatile statement piece.
If you're seeking alternatives, we handpick options like the Schott Perfecto, Allsaints' leather jackets, and Hedi Slimane’s Celine leather biker. We also introduce From The First, a brand offering a jacket with design elements similar to the L01.
Join the conversation in the comments section and share your thoughts on the Saint Laurent L01. Do you prefer its sleek aesthetic or a more classic style like the Schott? Embrace true style and personal expression, and subscribe to Radial TV for more men's style content.
Thanks for watching!

    Great video. I owned 5 SLP leather jacket, and all of them are awsome quality. But really sad to see the quality of SL's leather jacket being downgraded since 2021, seems like they start to use lower quality leather to cut down production cost, eventhough the price is increasing. If anyone who interest in this jacket, I highly recommend buy older model, benfore 2019 or during Hedi's era (13-16)

    Agreed, however I have owned 6 L01's over a span of 5 years (I keep selling them then rebuying them) all from Hedi era and found that my most recent pickup from 2017 calf to be better in terms of durability. The Lambskin jackets look amazing but scratch and tear so easily. Shame for the price. I have found calfskin to be the way to go.

    I feel as of late, the Gen-Z is sort of in the mom jeans era and I hope they hope they get out of it. I loved the L01, and L17, as L17 is still one of my favorite jackets. The only jacket i'm seriously considering is perhaps the Lewis Leather Lightning Jacket, I honestly think that is one of the best looking jackets I really want.

Would def recommend anyone here to look at grailed if they find the same it is a very suitable alt in terms of design & quality. However, the L01 will be GOAT 🐐

    Do you take a larger size than normal for the L01? I tried the usual medium but could barely zip it up and almost had to hold my breath! seems like yours is a similar slim fit but not sure its worth having a few thousand on a jacket that cant be closed comfortably?

    Hey, thanks! Goldblum definitely wears the lambskin version of the Saint Laurent L01. You can tell the leather is more smooth and shiny than the calf leather. Negan’s jacket is pretty unique but you could check out Schott for some high quality jackets that might pull off a similar look.

    its too short, on some guys in the vid it looks like a bolero jacket, i with i had kept my 2 biker jackets from when i was a teenager, they looked better than this one and were more my style, even though they were double breasted they had a strap collar which i much prefer, they also didnt have the belt they had 2 buckles on either side, very hard to find this style now, having said that i recently bought a really soft lamb skin biker jacket, i am going to get the collar altered into a strap and itll be very nice, got to be careful with lamb skin though its delicate

    I don't like it, it looks like a cross zip that is confused either want to be british lewis leather lightning or american schott perfecto, and thus lacks the appeal of both because it misses things that make those design works, on lightning the sleeve pocket and the waist buckles help to make it look rockstar, and in perfecto the slant chest pocket and dangling belts make the cool biker look, while this jacket choose coin pockets that adds nothing to the coolness as homage to both designs and deleting elements that make those jacket cool, and paper thin epaulette that is positioned too high up on the shoulder doesn't help either

    Great comment. Very well said. Some of the appeal might be brand loyalty, some is Hedi fandom, and many people do actually like the L01 design. It’s a polarizing item though, a real love/hate! Definitely can’t beat the Schott perfecto design though, it will always be the original.

    Do I see correctly you cannot close that jacked? Kinda ridiculous value for money. Why not getting a jacket between the Schott and this…The RealMcCoys, the Flathead, finecreek leathers to name a few. I guess I know the answer…because that tiny square label is more important than the actual craftsmanship;)
