Leather Jackets

We've had a few leather jackets over the years and the one thing that's been consistently true across all of them is that quality matters more here than with almost any other piece of clothing. A cheap leather jacket looks cheap in a way that a cheap pair of chinos doesn't quite manage. The leather itself tells you everything. Good leather has a weight and a texture and a smell that synthetic alternatives simply don't replicate and more importantly it ages in a way that makes it look better rather than worse. A leather jacket you've worn for five years looks like it belongs to someone who actually has a life. The fit for a leather jacket should be slightly more fitted than you might initially think is comfortable because leather has almost no give and a jacket that fits correctly when it's new will soften and mould to your shape over time. One size up and it never quite looks right.
