Classic Leather Jackets

Twenty-twenty has been one weird year. Thanks to stay-at-home orders and remote work, pajamas and house slippers became the new office attire. When we tired of getting ready by not getting ready, house dresses and other comfy business casual garments made an unprecedented comeback.

As cooler weather approaches, you’re likely looking to bring some warmth and solace to your fall and winter wardrobe. Another classic piece is due to make its triumphant return to our closets -the leather jacket.

Why Leather Jackets Are Perfect for Remote Work

Leather has been a staple in covering our bodies for millennia. Today, the solid colors and bold lines say “I cared enough to get dressed this morning” without being overly stuffy or formal.

Another added benefit is that they do indeed serve the practical purpose of providing warmth. Whether you’re taking a walk around the block between Zoom meetings or catching a cab to work, they’ll ward off the winter chill.

Top Gun Bomber Jacket - Nostalgia Helps Us Cope

National Geographic recently reported on how many are turning to nostalgic pastimes in order to cope emotionally during the coronavirus pandemic. Nostalgia takes us back to a previous time and place, usually one in which we felt safe and happy.

You can don a bit of nostalgia every day with this Top Gun inspired leather bomber jacket. This movie-prop quality jacket looks just like the one worn by Tom Cruise in the classic film, complete with the military insignia patches.

Where were you when you first saw Top Gun? Were you in high school, college, or your first date? Did you see it in theaters, or on cable TV with the family? This film-inspired jacket can transport you to simpler times.

Take Nostalgia a Step Further with a Biker Jacket

The 1950s saw the rise of Rockabilly music and fashion, from leather jackets, jeans, and white t-shirts for men to poodle skirts and saddle oxfords for the ladies. Films such as Grease, starring John Travolta as Danny Zuko, and numerous films starring Elvis Presley capture this quasi-rebellious style. It’s still alive and well in hip urban settings such as Tokyo as well.

Adventure Awaits with Indiana Jones

Nothing says “cool under pressure” like the adventurous style of Harrison Ford. Did you know? According to GQ, not only did the fashion designers have to approve Ford’s look in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but so did the actor himself. Even if your greatest “archeological dig” is a mountain of paperwork or an Everest of laundry, you can look cool while doing it in a vintage Indiana Jones jacket.

Try Something New, Bold, and Confident

Maybe you want to get out of the quarantine rut by trying something completely outside of your comfort zone. Like whitewall tires on a European sportscar, this bold white bomber jacket with black leather trim is sure to make a statement.

A Splash of Color

If traditional biker and bomber jackets aren’t you’re style, you can still show your true colors in this timeless material. The Fernando leather trucker jacket has the hues to match any outfit, style, or mood. It comes in a bold reddish maroon, and dark blue and navy shades that are reminiscent of another vintage favorite - the denim jacket. But that's another story.

So, what leather jacket is the best fit for you? Only you can decide. But one thing is for sure - leather has been in for a long time, and it's likely to become even more of a comforting favorite in the challenging times in which we live.
