There’s no better time than fall to wear a leather jacket. As summer comes to an end, the temperatures will become cooler. While there are dozens of jackets and coats from which to choose, none compare to the versatility of leather. A genuine leather jacket will offer the perfect combination of strength, style, comfort and durability. But if you’re planning to wear a leather jacket this fall, you should follow a few tips. Check the Thickness When choosing a leather jacket to wear this fall, check the thickness. If it’s too thick, you might overheat when wearing it. On the other hand, if it’s too thin, it may lack the insulation to keep you warm and comfortable during the evenings and nights. Most people will agree that medium-thickness leather jackets work best in the fall. They aren’t too thick, nor are they too thin. Go Genuine The allure of buying a faux leather jacket for half the price of a genuine leather jacket may seem tempting, but you have to consider its long-term value. Because they are made with synthetic materials — and usually poorer craftsmanship — faux leather jackets degrade more quickly than their genuine counterparts. Assuming you want to wear your jacket for multiple seasons, you need to choose one made of genuine leather. Genuine leather is a higher quality textile that’s more resilient than synthetic materials. The only benefit of faux leather is its price, but that shouldn’t be the only factor influencing your purchasing decision. Dark Color While leather jackets are available in a variety of colors, a dark color is recommended for the fall...
