Leather Jacket Styles
Biker Jacket
The biker jacket was originally designed for motorcyclists, with their cropped style allowing riders to lean over their bikes without the fastening digging into their body. Just putting this jacket on will give you more of an edge. The biker jacket tends to be more eye-catching as it has a lot more features to it, such as buckles, zips, poppers and more, and almost always feature a collar, with large lapels that are designed to fold over each other or snap down. The biker jacket looks slick during day or night, whether you’re hitting the streets or going out for a drink.
Bomber Jacket
The bomber jacket was the original flight jacket made for pilots back in the day. They’re generally quite simple so that the main focus is the shape, cinching tighter at the waist and wrists. These are great when heading to a ball game with your mates or even going out to lunch during the day. You can pair many different things with this kind of jacket to create different looks. It’s become a seriously popular style in recent times and we’re not surprised as to why.
Racer Jacket
The racer jacket was originally made for just that, to race. After World War II, many men started racing motorbikes between the local pubs and cafes for a bit of fun. This created the need for a minimalist leather jacket that was heavy enough at the back to provide enough protection with a strong zipper at the front. Racer jackets usually are a slimmer fit and have a small amount of detail, including just that front zip. They’re rather ‘minimalist’ when it comes to style and tend to flatter the body, especially if you’ve got bigger shoulders.
