Let’s face it: you feel cooler when you wear a leather jacket. Not literally cooler or course, you’re wearing cow for crying out loud. You look stylish and suave. Would James Dean been as cool if he didn’t have his leather jacket? No. Would a gang of bikers seem as terrifying if they didn’t wear leather? No. One of my favorite pro wrestlers of all-time, Bret Hart, wore a pink leather jacket and still made it look cool. So if you want to look cool and/or terrifying, then here are some leather jackets you need to take a look at.
Lambskin Coat: The main advantage of a men’s lambskin coat is that it is soft and supple, giving it a comfortable feel. However it is not a think or strong as cowhide so it’s not recommended for motorcycle riding. It’s more for design and fashion.
Leather Bomber Jacket: Popularized by fighter pilots in World War I, this heavy insulated jacket has become a popular fashion statement in recent years. It was the official costume of the APEC meeting 1993 and has become popular wear for hip hop artists.
Belstaff Leather Jacket: This jacket is best if you are actually a motorcycle rider, due to it’s multiple pockets and attached belt to keep your jacket from flapping everywhere while riding on the open road.
John Varvatos Leather Jacket: The exact opposite of the Belstaff, this sleek jacket is for style points only. And for keeping warm and stuff.
There you have it. Now that you’re armed with leather jacket knowledge, go out there be a rebel without a cause! Well, that seems a little irresponsible. Be a rebel with a few causes, but make sure some of them are selfish.
