There
is something about wearing a good leather jacket or coat. It changes attitudes and breeds confidence.
It blends well with other apparel and can be worn in both formal
and casual situations. No
other apparel equals the versatility of a high quality Leather
Jacket. No other apparel has the perfect appeal for all settings
and circumstances like a high quality leather jacket or coat.
No matter what fashion experts project, quality leather is always a
grand choice and an easy practical choice. You can't go wrong with
Leather.
Classic Leather Jackets
A
Style of Leather Jacket that has a long-time and proven track record.
Styles come and go, but a true Classic Style never dies because
its design has proven extraordinarily attractive and a proven production
winner with the buying public over many long years.
A true Classic Leather
Jacket can range in price from Moderate to Pricey and is made from
basic market leather, like Lambskin,
Goatskin, Cowhide, or Horsehide.
However, a really good Classic Leather Jacket allows the wearer
timeless styling that is never out of vogue and gives the wearer a sure
thing that will last for years.
The Fashion World always slides from one fad style to another and
each season seems to bring with it alterations that do not fit
everyone’s taste, but You should always have something Classic to
wear. Sure, Classic may
entail an investment, but a Moderate or Pricey Classic Leather Jacket
enhances your masculinity in ways women just adore.
It is the Classic Leather Jacket that projects true Manliness,
Self-assurance, Individuality, Lifestyle, and even somewhat Daring.
A good Leather Hooded Coat, Blazer, or Bomber Jacket can work
wonders for anyone’s Image.
In
the world of Classic Design, Women always have the ‘Little Black
Dress’ to fall back on when nothing seems to work.
For Men, the ‘Leather
Bomber Jacket’ is the ticket that answers all occasions with a
timeless and proven record. Worn casually, its a sure knock
out. Even combined with a tie, it still fits into many business
situations and can even dominate it.
Black,
Dark Seal Brown, or Russet Brown is the best color choice.
Designer
Leather Jacket Styling
Hot
today, forgotten tomorrow. Designer means High Fashion and You expect to pay for both the
Design and the Brand Name on the Label.
When you buy a Designer Jacket, you are buying a statement and
you are buying a particular style of leather jacket that appeals to your
particular taste. Sometimes, a designer piece may appear somewhat retro,
or classic in nature, but the ‘cut’ or feel of the jacket is quite
different. Be sure
you know what you are buying before you pay anything.
Designer leather can be from the basic leathers such as,
Lambskin, Cowhide, Goatskin, or even the very expensive Horsehide.
Yet, more and more designer leather is showing up on shelves made
from Nappa Leather.
Nappa for today's import market generally means Pig-Nap, or Pig-Nappa. Yes,
that means leather from the hide of Pigs. Most Designer Leather Jackets and coats are now made overseas,
especially in China. Many
of today Chinese, other Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern Leather Goods are made from Pig-Nappa.
When it comes to Designer Leather goods, a trusted Brand or trusted
Retailer makes all the difference. However, keep a watchful eye,
as many big named Brands are making the switch to Nappa Leather without
really informing their customers.
If
a particular Designer styling proves hot in the market-place, you may be
able to grab a style that will be flattering to your taste and to Your
body fit. Still, do not
expect the style to remain on stock long.
Prices will vary from the very cheap (poor grade copycats who
want to get in on the market killing), to Moderate, to Pricey.
Exotic
Leathers and More
This
is all up to the Individual and their particular fashion taste.
Distressed Leather, Waxed Leather, or specially Embossed Pieces
can add to a Leather Jackets visual splash. However, here again, the
wearer is dealing with a fashion and a statement that will be out of
taste soon. Special Linings
or Trimmings can add some elegance to any item and to its Price.
Real Leather with Real Fur Linings or
Trimmings
tends to be Pricey. Faux Fur (Fake Fur) brings the
cost down quite a bit. Exotic Leathers, like
Alligator or Ostrich can also be appealing if done right but here again,
the Price will be very high as opposed to Faux Leather designs.
But, Exotics do not fit well in every situation and the wearers
of these articles soon learn their appeal is limited. Don’t
expect that hip Real Suede Jacket with the Sleeve embroidery you wore
Saturday night to your favorite nightclub to go well at the Office on
Monday morning.
Buying
Leather = Budget vs. Use
For
really Good Leather in Men’s Styling, expect to pay around $250 to
$350. Top Grades will cost
you anywhere form $350 on Up. It is not unusual to find some
Leather Style jackets selling for around $1000. For Moderate
Leather, look for prices to range from $150 to $250.
For lesser quality, $75 to $100.
Bottom Barrel quality can sell for as little as $25. It
all depends on the particular individual and what they want in a leather jacket. Really
good leather that will last you years will be more expensive than
something trendy that will only last for 1 or 2 years.
Some Genuine U.S. Manufactured
Sheepskin Shearling
will cost
you anywhere from $450 to $1000, but
their quality in Leather and in Stitching surly make them worth the price.
A lesser quality jacket, like a Faux Shearling (False or Sherpa)
may cost you less than a $100, but will not last for long.
It is in Your Best Interest to shop for a good
Moderate to Pricey Classic Leather Jacket.
Yes, You may pay more for the item, but the quality, value, and
the enjoyment
You receive is worth far more than the items price.
