Men's leather jacket

The biker jacket is one of the iconic items whose history is connected simultaneously with the military, motorcycles and the Schott brothers. Initially, it was intended for the military and police, but its fame has changed a lot. For the first time the jacket entered the market under the name PERFECTO and is still known under this name in the West. Actually, it is called "leather jacket" only in the CIS for the characteristic oblique zipper-fastener.

The design of the jacket turned out to be so successful that during its existence it has practically not changed: the classics can still be recognized. The model continues to be in demand, although over the almost 90 years of the existence of this thing, a lot of variations on the theme have appeared.

Such popularity is largely due to the features and benefits of the jacket. It is about the following:

1. Very thick leather, which allows you to wear a real, high-quality leather jacket for decades. Rare items can boast of this.
2. Chest and elbow protection, which is especially helpful for bikers. No wonder this group is very fond of leather jackets.
3. Long detachable sleeves, at the same time protecting the hands from the piercing wind, and allowing, if desired, to wear leggings.
4. Additional volume on the back, typical for this type of jacket. Thanks to him, the product does not constrain movements.
5. The presence of an internal pocket for a revolver or pistol, which was highly valued by the military, non-officials and many other fans of this product, who created a certain fame for the leather jacket.

Also, designers today offer models with a large number of pockets; there is not always an additional layer of leather on the elbows. But in general, the specificity of this jacket has been preserved along with all the main advantages. And the main plus also remained the same: consistently high quality.

A leather jacket is one of the few wardrobe items for which it is difficult to understand which option is in front of you: male or female. Designers advise in such cases to look at the direction of the famous zipper. In men, it goes from the left hip to the shoulder, in women, respectively, on the contrary. The silhouette is also somewhat different, if you look closely.

The jacket turned out to be so popular that over time, the designers decided to transfer the recognizable cut of the jacket and the legendary oblique zipper to other types of outerwear. And since it’s too cold for us to stay in just such a thing in winter, sheepskin coats have become popular. They are made of the appropriate fabric, but are sewn in much the same way. Only have a warm fur lining.Some are leather on the top, and a sheepskin coat on the bottom, while some are made entirely of fabric.

The following two jackets have gone much further from the classic jacket: a sweatshirt and a jacket. In fact, some of them only had a diagonal zipper, freedom of movement, some aggressiveness and a protected chest. In fact, this is a lot, listed is enough to make the thing recognizable, but many fashionistas do not recognize the leather jacket in this.

Slightly more reminiscent of a familiar jacket and raincoat, made according to the same principle. Designers have left a characteristic smell and a diagonal zipper, in relation to most models, the material has also been preserved - genuine leather, most often black. However, this is no longer a jacket, but a raincoat, with the appropriate length and cut. But it often looks no less stylish.

The classic biker jacket is still relevant today thanks to its perfectly thought-out design. The maximum change that she has undergone is the improved quality of the fasteners. The rest of the thing is quite recognizable.

If you like the jacket so much that you are not ready to part with it even in winter, you can complement your favorite jacket with fur, which is fixed around the neck.Some stylists also attach it to the sleeves, but for many this decision has become too bold an interpretation of the familiar option for everyone.

A leather jacket with a fringe is very popular, and the bottom, back, chest, arms can be decorated in this way, in general, here the designers decided to give their imagination freedom. Such an addition can be different in length and width, but at the same time it is made of the same material as the thing itself.

In contrast to the weighted winter jacket, fashion designers have developed a lightweight version of the men's leather jackets. It is made of thin leather, does not protect much from the wind, not to mention falling off the bike, but it weighs much less. This is a decorative copy, the main task of which is to complement a well-thought-out image. It can be worn in early autumn and late spring, which has become a big advantage in favor of such a model.

Probably, there is no need to say that the most common color of leather jackets is black. Behind him, the brown version holds an honorable second place. However, fashion dictates its own, and now well-known brands are quite boldly offering silver, white and even multi-colored models. Unusual shades do not always deprive this jacket of aggressiveness, but they noticeably refresh the image.

Everyone is so accustomed to the fact that a quality leather jacket is made only from good leather, that often the first advice for choosing such a jacket can be a recommendation to check the origin of the material. At the same time, leather is a rather expensive option, and if you need a jacket to a greater extent for the image, then a good leatherette in this case can be an excellent solution. That has already been successfully proven by several designers.

A traditional leather jacket is a jacket that ends in men at the waist, sometimes there are options a little lower. Fluctuations of a few centimeters are acceptable, since one of the advantages of such a solution has traditionally been considered its ability to adapt to different dimensions. However, it should not be too long, for example, completely covering the fifth point.

When choosing a leather jacket, you should decide what you like more - classics or designers' experiments. The first option allows you to fully satisfy all needs, the second opens up more opportunities by increasing the number of pockets or reducing weight.

Also, you should not choose an emphatically aggressive option for men who cannot boast of broad shoulders, otherwise the product will rather emphasize the flaws. Now you can find enough options for all occasions, for example, a sleeveless jacket to find a pattern that suits your figure.

The biker jacket looks pretty good with a white crew-neck t-shirt, this rebellious combination has long become a kind of classic. Other T-shirts, sweatshirts, turtlenecks, sweaters also go with her, the main thing is not shirts and not something strict, businesslike. For the bottom, it is best to take casual trousers, black or blue jeans will also be a good solution, very light ones will look fresh. If we are talking about a model with spikes, then it is best to choose something simple for it so as not to overload the image with details.

Biker jackets go well with shoes, as they balance the look. Moreover, shoes can be with square or narrow socks, with or without metal rivets. Not the best option is to combine such a jacket with the Cossacks, most often it looks somewhat deliberate. But with lace-up boots, no one interferes. If the thing is worn as part of the casual style, you can also use sneakers.

As a headdress, a bandana can be considered an excellent option for all time. From time to time, caps become a pretty good solution, the main thing is that they be moderately aggressive, preferably military style. For a similar reason, the so-called caps will be appropriate here. Also, it is possible to complement the image with a hat. But in general, leather jackets are most often worn without a headdress.

Designers this season have clearly demonstrated that they have nothing against bold and even somewhat extravagant experiments. So, an almost classic black leather jacket, as it turned out, goes pretty well with a hoodie of the same color, ripped skinny jeans and a gold watch. The image turns out to be contradictory, which enhances the feeling of a real rebel of our time.

Also, modern mods, as it turned out, are not at all afraid to experiment with a large number of layers. A white crew-neck T-shirt, a V-neck sweater and a lightweight version of a leather jacket are effectively combined in practice. Especially if there is a two-wheeled friend somewhere nearby.

All sorts of contrasts look quite advantageous. A black biker jacket and white high top sneakers are the kind of a go-to combination. Especially if leather trousers are attached to all this, which add a touch of adventurism to the image. It is very good when such things are worn with a sense of casual chic. By the way, if someone told you that leather jackets don't match shirts, don't believe him! Especially when it comes to jeans.

And, of course, the classics have not gone out of fashion: black jeans, a white T-shirt, leather shoes, combined, of course, with the same leather jacket.True, in its modern form it looks a little different than that of the hooligans of the second half of the 20th century, but it is precisely this idea that stylish couples demonstrate today with their whole appearance: fashion still does not stand still, but is constantly evolving! That allows cult things to find a new breath.

Stylish looks are just an example of how you can experiment, with what it is recommended to wear certain things. Most fashionistas do not copy other people's ideas, but create their own unique combinations. Fortunately, the versatility of leather jackets allows this!
