Men's leather jackets

The men’s leather jacket – a timeless classic with cult status

What do Marlon Brando, James Dean and Johnny Depp have in common? That's right: they were not only the heartbreakers of their time, but also made a certain item of clothing into a cult object - the men's leather jacket . To be more precise, it is the Perfecto model, the iconic black biker jacket, which many men's leather jackets are still based on today. The robust buffalo leather jacket with a wide lapel collar, belt and slanted silver zipper was an integral part of the charismatic look of the three "young wild ones" and radiated freedom, nonconformity and boundless coolness. Even today, many generations later, the biker leather jacket has lost none of its rebellious charm and continues to guarantee idiosyncratic styles and a strong appearance. The Perfecto model, the classic biker jacket, has hardly changed since its introduction in 1928 and remains a bestseller among men's leather jackets today. The leather jacket has thus proven that it is not a passing trend in the fast-moving fashion world. On the contrary: the men's leather jacket dominates the fashion world today in countless colors and shapes and, like blue jeans, has developed into a timeless classic with cult status.

Originally designed as robust functional clothing for pilots and motorcyclists, the men's leather jacket found its way into the film and music world during the 20th century and became the trademark of some Hollywood legends and rock stars. Thanks to its rebellious image, the leather jacket was particularly popular among the youth scene and quickly spread to subcultures such as the heavy metal, rocker, punk or gothic scene. Bands such as the British heavy metal band Judas Priest and the New York punk band Ramones contributed significantly to the popularity of the biker leather jacket in rock music. Later, films such as Grease (70s), Top Gun (80s), Matrix and Fight Club (90s) made leather aviator jackets, coats and jackets popular alongside the biker jacket, which meant that the men's leather jacket shed its rebellious image and became an integral part of pop culture. Today, the men's leather jacket has been with us for almost a century and is an indispensable part of the fashion world. Whether spring, summer, autumn or winter - designers from all over the world are constantly reinterpreting the men's leather jacket in their collections and ensuring unprecedented variety.

Leather jacket type advice – How to find the right cut for your figure

Hardly any item of clothing looks as attractive on men as a perfectly fitting leather jacket! That's why every well-stocked man's wardrobe should contain at least one model of this fashionable evergreen. To find out which men's leather jacket is particularly flattering for your figure, we have a few tips for you:

• If you are of a small stature and want to appear a few centimeters taller, you should go for short leather jackets that are hip-length at most. These shift the visual center of your body upwards and have a lengthening effect.

• A small belly can be cleverly concealed with longer cut leather jackets. Loose-fitting models and oversized jackets also look figure-friendly. However, avoid leather jackets with patch pockets and quilting, as they could add extra bulk.

• The chest and shoulder area can be perfectly accentuated by leather jackets with epaulettes, quilting and patch pockets. V-shaped seams on the back visually widen the back and create a masculine look.

How to properly care for men’s leather jackets – How to keep your favorite piece stable and supple

Regardless of whether it is suede, lambskin, nappa leather or cowhide: leather jackets are generally hard-wearing and durable. The special thing about it: over time, your leather jacket will adapt perfectly to your figure. This is because leather is a "working" natural material that stretches with frequent wear and gives way where necessary. Even if your leather jacket seems a little tight at first, the areas where the leather is initially tight will expand after a while and soon your leather jacket will feel like a second skin. If you then look after it properly, you can enjoy your leather jacket for many years; perhaps even for a lifetime. Therefore, you should follow the following care tips:

• Before you wear your new leather jacket for the first time, you should definitely waterproof it. Waterproofing with a colorless (!) leather waterproofing spray is easy to do and reliably protects your new leather jacket from the effects of the weather such as rain, snow and wind. Waterproofing is particularly recommended for clothing made of sensitive types of leather such as suede, suede and nubuck leather. After waterproofing, your leather jacket is protected from moisture and dirt, which prevents stains and makes cleaning easier later.

• Leather jackets must not be washed in the washing machine. But don't worry: to freshen up your leather jacket, it is usually enough to let it air out a little. To do this, hang it outside on a large hanger (ideally open) for a few hours. After a while in the fresh air, unpleasant smells will disappear and your leather jacket will smell like new again.

• Light dirt on leather jackets can usually be removed easily and gently by hand. Superficial stains on smooth leather can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth. Cleaning suede, suede and nubuck leather is a little more complicated: Here there are little helpers such as the leather eraser and the suede brush
