Leather jackets never seem to go out of fashion for men, even after sixty years of being worn by some of the coolest and most popular icons of the music, fashion and film industries, the leather jacket is still at the height of fashion today. Well, it is fashionable if you get the right one, as there are some select items that look dreadful on even the best looking supermodel.
You can choose a leather jacket based on your height, your style, your body type and ultimately, your taste also. There are all sorts of shapes and sizes of jacket you can buy too, with full length trench coats, knee length, three quarter length and also hip length all available. However, in terms of style there are only really three main styles to choose from, those being the distressed jacket, the motocross jacket and the bomber jacket. If you are thinking of purchasing a leather jacket, these styles are detailed below for your perusal.
One popular style of leather jacket amongst older and younger people alike is the distressed jacket. What makes this style popular with such a diverse range of people is the fact that it is designed to look worn and well used, avoiding that difficult period when you first buy a leather jacket when it is stiff and unwieldy. This style works quite well on people that have a larger frame or broad shoulders.
Another very popular style of jacket, not only with bikers but also a variety of people, is the motocross jacket. Initially, this style of jacket was first used by motorcyclists as protective clothing due to its strong inherent characteristics and durability. To begin with, bikers preferred leather jackets and trousers (commonly known collectively by the term ‘leathers’) made out of cattle hide as it is very strong, though recently there has been a trend towards other materials and other hides such as kangaroo hide which is very strong but also light.
The bomber jacket is the most popular style of leather jacket as it is designed for more general, fashion orientated use. Most commonly, bomber style leather jackets come with interior lining in the sleeves or around the waist and in black or brown colors. Initially, leather bomber jackets were first used by pilots as early as the mid to late 1930s, and over the years they have seen many changes and modifications continuously bringing them up-to-date with the latest fashion trends. The leather bomber jacket never seems to go out of fashion, and currently it is right at the top of the game in the fashion world.
