You don’t have to be a rider or a rocker to appreciate a leather jacket! An effortlessly cool leather jacket is a must-have classic addition to your wardrobe. Be it in classic black or a dusty brown, a stylish leather jacket is masculine adding texture and dimension to looks.The key to buying a leather jacket is finding a type that already rides well with your personal style – don’t be somebody you’re not.

No matter your age, style or body type; a leather jacket is a versatile and easy to wear piece regardless of the season. Leather jackets require confidence. Celebrities and rockstars wear them to stand-out and make a grungy style statement. That said, you can find a clean-cut, more demure type. Knowing your personal style is important, helping you decide what jacket style is most appropriate.

The style of your leather jacket is something very personal. Everyone is different, we all like different things and likely expect different qualities from our selection. There are generally three types: the ‘bomber’, the ‘biker’ and the ‘racer’.

Bomber:

The bomber is the most casual looking. Recognized by its waist-length, the jacket is made from soft leather, which tends to be more malleable giving it a relaxed look.

Biker:

The biker boasts large lapels and a flared collar, that can be snapped down for extra security. Packed with metallic hardware (studs, plugs and zips), the front zipper is normally asymmetrical, allowing the wider side to fold in underneath its partner.

Racer:

The racer is the most standard looking despite its motocross-look. They are streamlined jackets with a little collar that snaps shut, or can be without a collar at all. Straight zipped, they aren’t lined with plush fabric and have no lapels or extra hardware to flash things up.
