American Leather Jackets

The leather jackets is not really a men's staple. However, it can become a very personal piece that will follow you for years to come, & choose what’s good for you. One thing is clear: it is an investment. You do not get cheated on a leather jackets. This means that if you want to acquire one, you have to plan the necessary budget. It is important to understand this. It is irrelevant to spend 200 Euros in a "default" jacket that will last only two years before being damaged. Ultimately, you could buy this kind of second-hand item: you can find a platform or on second-hand an online websites. Be careful though with period cuts, much wider, which may prove difficult to wear today. Rest assured: this article will give you some keys to investing ingeniously. What to look for, what fit to opt for, what style to go for 1 and, of course, a few tips from matching brands. We tell you everything!

THE LEATHER JACKETS: A CONSIDERED PURCHASE Checklist of mistakes not to make:

Buy a low-end item: it is better to have a nice waxed cotton jacket than poor synthetic leather, shiny, unpleasant to the touch and will not age well. Really, leather is a material that does not allow for mistakes: bad leather will show up very quickly. Not having the effective basics: any need to wear beautiful, well-made, well-made leather with low-end jeans with a slightly subtle fading.

Operate on a whim: we often tell you, but a purchase must be reasoned and not triggered by a crush. So of course, you don't have to function like robots to compare everything and the desire / pleasure factor must also be part of the purchase ... But before you turn to a part, ask yourself if it is right for you anyway. Do you see yourself wearing it? If the answer is no, skip your turn!

REALLY, WHAT ARE I LOOKING AT?

As with many clothing items, there are a number of things you should be aware of before purchasing the item.

1. PREFER A TIGHT FIT A beautiful leather jackets must be fitted. The sleeves have no "balloon" volume, the jacket falls to the waistband of the pants, and it naturally follows your blanks. The only exception: if you are a fan of vintage cuts and old leather jackets where, it's just the opposite. Be careful though: the notion of oversize is already very difficult to master in normal times, it is better to be sure of what you are doing before venturing into a leather jackets. Why? Oversize is often used on flowing materials (cotton, linen, cold wool, etc.): it is an effect that serves to give allure and amplifies the movement of a garment. However, leather is rigid: it will not move much, even in motion. You will agree that it takes a certain mastery to play with leather and volumes... Another thing: pay special attention to the sleeves and back. Avoid elastic ribbing like the plague, which will give you a completely compressed lower back, often synonymous with poor quality leather.

  Finally, retouching is expensive on leather and there are few skilled retouches. No need, therefore, to buy an expensive part with the idea of ​​having it taken back if it does not suit you. In short, go try it or make sure you have taken your measurements to the nearest centi-meter.

2. THE SOBER THE PART, THE EASIER IT WILL BE TO WEAR Except in the case of a perfect, avoid too many seams and closures. Your leather jackets is an expensive piece, which you will surely want to make profitable by wearing it often. In this case, opt for a simple and refined model, more versatile. If you are buying your first item and are still looking for your style, certain types of jackets should be avoided because they will lock you in a total look. Those with "funnel" collars, side zips or even patches are among them.

3. PREFER A ZIP TO A BUTTONING Avoid leathers with a button closure. The slightly "bad ass" side of a leather jackets (it is the case to say it) will no longer have any interest with it.

Top-of-the-range leather will be noticed by a quality zipper: it must be robust, must not close too easily, must be not shine and, on the contrary, be a little weather

4. EXAMINE THE GRAIN TO ESTABLISH THE MATTER the best known and most comfortable materials are sheep and lamb leathers stuff. Avoid cowhide or buffalo leathers which are often thick, stiff and far too shiny. This does not mean that they are of poor quality but their strength will be more useful for luggage, or a real thick biker jacket. Pig leather is coarser. Horse leather is very beautiful and smoother; it is leather that will have to be broken. That is, wear it until it softer, a bit like raw jeans.

To recognize the animal, you must examine grain 2: Cow / beef / buffalo leather: completely uniform grain.

Sheep / lamb: the patterns overlap and are slightly less uniform.

Horse: the grain is smoother.

Pork: we especially notice the pores, which are numerous and deep.

WHAT STYLE SHOULD YOU GO FOR A LEATHER JACKETS? There are really a lot of different styles. We have already discussed all leather jackets models in this article, and the goal here will be to find the perfect jacket that can adapt to a large majority of outfits.

We will therefore review the four most versatile models in my opinion (even if they are not all so easy to wear).

1. THE PERFECT The biker jacket (whose story is told here in video) was created in 1928 by Irving Schott to dress Long Island bikers on their Harley Davidson. Schott becomes a benchmark brand and its flagship model is still, 89 years later, the perfect. Apart from its practical function in everyday life, it quickly integrates a cultural dimension, in particular through cinema. We no longer present Marlon Brando and his pert 'Schott in "The wild one". If I evoke all this background, it is to show you how this piece is culturally anchored in our minds when we talk about the leather jackets. And yet, it's not the easiest to wear. The perfect is very marked because of its crossed closure, its specific collar and its very much adjusted bending. That said the legend of this piece is not impossible to wear, far from it, as long as you like the style it gives off that this one suits you. It is especially on the volumes that it is necessary to be vigilant: a perfect is easily worn with other adjusted pieces, thus closing certain doors in terms of stylistic creation ... although! If the perfect - slim jeans combo has proven itself, other more daring alternatives exist.

2. THE BIKER JACKETS His particularity? Its light funnel neck. Personally, this is the one I appreciate the most. I think he really adds something to a look, as long as you embrace it. Its design is quite strong as well, but I think it is less difficult to wear than what you would immediately imagine. Only downside: it is - like the perfect - rather adjusted, which makes it more difficult to wear with poorly fitted parts. All you need is the motorcycle...

3. THE LEATHER BOMBER we are entering a more casual / urban register but we do not lock ourselves in it for all that! The bomber is a rather transverse piece, which is rather very easy to wear. In leather, it's the same! There, you will have less of your head on the volumes since its initial shape itself. With a bit wide jeans or chinos, it works. With slimmer cuts at the bottom, that also works. For tops, it's the same. It can be worn with a shirt, a sweater or a simple T-shirt. No worries on that side!

4. THE FLIGHT JACKET it’s a bit like the bomber's cousin. Coming both from the military universe, it is worn with the same ease. Considering its origins, it is a room with a lot of character.
