Nothing says first-class style like a genuine leather jacket. From its subtle grain texture to its soft yet durable feel, leather truly in a class of its own. Perhaps this is why so many men and women prefer leather jackets are over fabrics and materials. But like all garments, even those made with leather must be properly maintained to preserve their appearance and characteristics. Don’t Leave it in the Sun Granted, occasional sun exposure isn’t going to cause any major damage to a leather jacket. However, if you leave your leather jacket stored directly in the sun, day after day, it can fade its color. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as some people prefer the unique look of faded leather. But if you’re hoping to preserve the original appearance of your leather jacket, it’s recommended that you store it out of the sun. Don’t Scratch it Use caution not to scratch your leather jacket, as this can leave visible marks behind that aren’t easy to remove.

Nothing says modern fashion like an elegant leather dress. Featuring the subtle yet sophisticated characteristics that define leather, it’s a stunning choice that’s sure to enhance any woman’s appearance.

Unfortunately, many women struggle to choose accessories for their leather dress. Because this isn’t an ordinary cotton dress, it requires a different approach.

The contrasting relationship between the black and red creates a stunningly bold appearance that’s sure to turn heads. High Heels High heels are an excellent choice of footwear for a leather dress, assuming you choose the right color. Going back to the example above, if you’re going to wear a black leather dress with a red belt, then you should complete the look with a pair of red high-heeled shoes.

So, you’re in the market for a new leather jacket? Being that leather is our specialty, you’ve come to the right place! But now you’re faced with the task of choosing a style and color. While leather jackets are available in a wide variety of colors, the two most popular are black and brown. You really can’t go wrong with either a brown or black leather jacket, assuming it’s genuine leather and made with a high level of craftsmanship. However, your choice of color will directly impact the way in which you wear it. This begs the question: should you choose a brown or black leather jacket? What’s Your Preferred Choice of Footwear? Consider your shoes and footwear when choosing a leather jacket. If you normally wear brown boots during the fall and winter months, then perhaps a similar brown-colored leather jacket would be the best choice. On the other hand, if you normally wear black shoes, then you should choose a black-colored leather jacket. A good rule of thumb is to match your jacket with your shoes, in which case your leather jacket should be the same color (or at least similar) as your shoes. Black is More Formal… Some people may argue otherwise, but many fashion experts view black as being a more formal color than brown. It possesses a newer, more modern appearance that’s not found in brown. Therefore, a black leather jacket is the preferred choice for formal events. If you’re looking for an everyday jacket, however, a traditional brown leather jacket may suffice. ‘Rugged’ Brown Look Of course, many men and women prefer the...
