They are badass...pulling up on their Harley, wearing Ray Bans, smoking a ***...
It's something that only certain people can pull off...
I've got a 'pleather' jacket myself and it make me look like a wannabe rock star. It's comeback as a bit of a fad, even teenage girls who probably have a poster of Justin Bieber on their bedroom walls are wearing them. In other words the total opposite of Joan Jett or Susie Quattro.
Not refering to "leather circles" like motorcyclists or rock stars, but just normal ppl who like to wear leather jackets on a day-to-day basis?
Is it considered urbane-looking in your opinion? Is it a popular style where you live? do people in Southern areas where leather jackets for regular purpose (again not refering to the niche markets)?
I used to wear leather a lot. I love that little black leather jacket, it was a hot look. I'm just not into it anymore; and actually I don't see many other people wearing leather either...
Maybe they are not as popular as they used to be. However, I think they are like jeans...they will never truly ever go completely out of style. Here in NJ, i still see quite a few wearing them.
As for what does it say about the wearer...it depends on the leather. Classier lambskin leather is a classier jacket. Not a big deal to wear it, just a bit classier. Perhaps, I think it is not a big deal being here in NJ and still seeing people wear them. Motorcycle cow-hide leather are a less classy, biker-look. This is too not a big deal, but it does give a slightly rebellious look to it. Being more liberal NJ, that too is not a big deal, but it does give that image a bit.
As for the wearer. I see men and women wearing them. I do not think it matters that much as long as the person isn't 85 years old, disabled or too overweight. Otherwise, what is the big deal?
I was surprised to see so much leather in Manhattan. Long coats and very expensive looking jackets. Not nearly so much in the Midwest. I like those leather trench coats.
I don't have much use for leather jackets, but I like them. Nice, soft leather feels so good. I generally don't care much what other people think of the stuff/people I like...
This is nearly identical to my 10 y.o. soft leather jacket that I got from Nordstrom, except mine is chocolate brown w/slight croc embossing. I still love it.
I like them in the right cut/color. Structured leather blazers seem to be popular with the Spring 2012 lines, along with leather shorts (if you can get away with that!)....
