Why Leather Jackets are worth the money

Leather can be an expensive to buy in all clothing but the price can differ between different hides that are used. For example fashionjackets tend to be cheaper than biker jackets simply because of the different hides used. So what can leather jackets offer that a normal fabric jacket can not? And what makes us so drawn to invest in such products.


Longevity

Leather is a lot more durable and long lasting, it is one of the strongest materials used in clothing, furniture and accessories. The bestthing about leather is that the more you break into the better it looks, giving it vintage look. There are different types of hides which can last longer than others:

     Cowhide and buffalo- mainly used for biker jackets and is stiff and heavy. This hide will last for an extremely long time.

     Lamb skin- A lot more soft and supple than cowhide and is mainly used for fashion wear. It feels like fabric when worn on and is very lightweight. This will still last longer than your average jacket.

     Goat skin- this is not as soft as lambskin and is more versatile.

So it seems that leather itself is a good investment, we purchase leather shoes, belts and furniture. Leather jackets are just as much worth it. Mens designer jackets may have a heavier price tag but note that you are paying for the brand name.

Safety for Bikers

We see a lot of mens leather jackets and women's which are specifically made for biking. Buffalo and cowhide are typically the most used leather for biker jackets and there are many reasons as to why. If you are a biker that you will understand why leather costs more and why it is worth it.

Matches with Almost Everything

Mens designer jackets are a must have addition to the wardrobe, in most fashion magazines we see celebrities now wearing leather biker jackets casually with a simple tshirt and pair of denim jeans. It seems that everyone has fallen in love with this look. There are so many different styles such as:

     The bomber jacket

     Leather blazer
     The biker jacket

     Leather trench coats

     Aviator jackets

Let’s not forget womens jackets, leather matches with almost anything. Lets take a simple blac biker style leather jacket. This can be worn with:

     Striped tops

     Boots

     Trainers

     Blouses

     Skinny jeans

     dresses

     casual t shirts

     heels

     hats

The list will be endless!!! you can dress down and be casual or you can dress up for an evening out and add a leather blazer or jacket on top. ( Image By :- DGonlinestore )



So in conclusion, there seems to only be positive reasons to pull out your cash and purchase leather apparel. We spend money on nice leather boots, shoes and bags. Jackets are the same investment but will last alot longer than any other piece of clothing or leather accessory. But one last point, look at the label before buying check that it is 100% real leather you are investing in and not faux or split which will wear out easily. If you're going to spend money then spend it wisely!
