Few garments offer the same level of versatility as a genuine leather jacket. With origins dating back to early World War II bomber pilots, the leather jacket has become a staple form of outwear for countless men and women. Regardless of your personal style, you’re sure to appreciate the unique beauty offered by this classic garment. But before ordering a new leather jacket, you should ask yourself the following questions. Do I Want Genuine or Fake Leather? I’ll go ahead and answer this question for you: you want a GENUINE leather jacket.

Although it looks similar from afar, faux leather has a synthetic look, feel and smell. Furthermore, faux leather lacks the intricate style of genuine leather, making it a poor choice. The bottom line is that you should always choose genuine leather over faux, as it’s a smart investment that’s sure to pay off in the long run. Do I Want Standard Length? The length is something else you should consider when choosing a leather jacket. If you’ve spent any significant amount of time shopping for a leather jacket, you’ve probably noticed that many are available in different lengths. Some of them stop around the waist, while others reach the thighs or knees. The latter, known as a leather long coat, are an excellent choice for the otherwise cold fall and winter months....
