Leather jackets have been a men’s wardrobe staple for decades. Ever since the first leather jacket made an appearance in the 1950s, it has been universally accepted as a sign of male personality and machismo.

Leather is any tanned, toughened, dried and dyed skin of an animal. Though once leather jackets were worn only when necessary, due to modern dyeing processes, leather jackets today are a pleasure to wear and the ultimate in comfort. Try one on.

There are various materials out of which leather jackets are made. Some of the most common are listed below.

Cowhide is the skin of full-grown cows. It is used extensively in making shoes, boots and leather jackets.

Lizard skin is generally used to make belts and shoes, but jackets are embossed to give it a lizard-skin like look.

Pigskin is commonly used in South America and is generally smooth to the touch.

Ostrich skin is known for the ‘bumpy’ feeling one gets while touching it.

Suede leather is the leather one gets when the reverse side of the cowhide is roughened until it becomes smooth to the touch.

Leather jackets for men are available in various designs and colors. Some of the most famous designs in leather jackets for men include motorcycle jackets, flight jackets and bomber jackets. Some leather accessories for men include shoes, belts, pants, boots, chaps and gloves.
