Since the Prehistoric Era people have worn leather, but in the

twentieth century, the black leather jacket became the symbol of the

outlaw when it was used as protective outerwear for motorcycle

enthusiasts. Rock stars and punks later latched on to this “bad boy?
image of black leather, but leather jackets eventually found mainstream

favor when manufacturers began creating leather in a variety of styles

and colors, such as the brown bomber jacket and haute couture skirts

and blazers. A leather jacket is a type of clothing, a jacket made of

leather the jacket has usually a brown, dark grey or black color.

Leather jackets can be styled in variety of ways and different

subcultures in places and times. For instance the leather jacket have

often been associated with bikers, military aviators, punks, and police

which have worn versions designed for protective purposes and often for

their potentially intimidating appearance. There is a substantial

difference between leather jackets made for fashionable purposes and

for protective purposes (for activities like motorcycle riding) leather

jackets designed for protective use are safety equipment designed to

protect the wearer from serious injury and are heavier, thicker, and

often equipped with armor.

Becoming a very practical item of clothing regardless of the symbolism invested in them by popular culture.

A leather jacket primarily designed for fashion purposes is not

likely to be much use in a motorcycle accident. Leather is a material

created through the tanning of hides, pelts and skins of animals,

primarily cow. Leather is a very important clothing material and its

other uses are legion. There are several types of leather jackets

cowhide, pigskin, lambskin, and buffalo. Cowhide known as one of the

toughest skins available depending on the thickness it can be used for

biker jackets in its thickest form or fashion jackets when it is

thinner and treated to make it softer. Pigskin also widely used,

pigskin is also an all around favorite. Lambskin is considered the most

luxurious of skins; lambskin is definitely the softest and smoothest

usually used for some of the more fashion forward designs, this skin is

everything you ever wanted for a classy, stylish look. Buffalo usually

only used for biker type apparel, buffalo is a tough and probably

tougher then the thickest cowhide. Many famous brands carry leather

jackets for example Avirex, Sean John, Rocawear, Kenneth Cole, Calvin

Klein e.t.c. Leather has become a popularized fashion item to have and

that’s why it is sold all over the world.
