Suits have been around for centuries, with some of the earliest examples of “modern” suits appearing during the late 18th century. Since then, they’ve become synonymous with men’s formalwear. If you’re trying to create a formal outfit, there’s no substitution for a high-quality suit. Not all suits are the same, however. While most suits are, in fact, made of traditional fabrics like cotton or linen, others are made of more unique materials, including leather. Leather may sound like an unconventional material for a suit, but it works surprisingly well. Leather suits are stylish, durable and comfortable. And since they are made of leather, they offer many advantages over traditional suits. What Is a Leather Suit? A leather suit is a type of two- or three-piece men’s formalwear that’s characterized by the use of leather in its construction. A two-piece suit, of course, includes a jacket and a pair of matching trousers, whereas a three-piece suit includes a jacket with both matching trousers and a matching waistcoat. Whether it’s a two- or three-piece suit, men’s suits are often made of different materials. Cotton is a popular choice because of its low cost and soft texture. Linen is also frequently used in the construction of suits. It’s lightweight and breathable, making it an all-around great choice for the summer.

If you are a fan of Sergio Leone’s westerns, you are probably more than familiar with duster coats. Originally worn as an overcoat to protect the clothing of a rider from dust and dirt during long days on horseback, the leather duster made a comeback thanks to the popularity of the western genre a few decades ago, and it is here to stay. A duster is a coat designed for comfort and protection. It usually covers the entire body, reaching to just above the ankle, although there are shorter variants as well. The second distinctive trait of a duster is the slit on the backside (from the bottom up to hip level) which allows riders to straddle a horse or get on a bike without the coat limiting their range of movement. Another feature added for practical reasons is the recognizable flap on the shoulders of the duster. The purpose of this extra layer is to provide the wearer with extra protection from wind and moisture. So, in short, a duster is a loose-fitting leather overcoat, with a rich history, designed to be practical and protect the wearer from the elements.
