Leather jackets constantly rank as one of the most popular forms of outerwear. They’ve been around since the early 20th century, during which they were by airplane pilots and crewmen. Their thick leather construction offers a higher level of thermal insulation — and therefore more heat — than coats and jackets made of thinner, less-insulative materials. In recent years, however, there have been dozens if not hundreds of new leather jacket styles released. While there’s nothing wrong with choosing a modern leather jacket such as this, many men and women prefer the timeless appearance of classic leather jackets. If you fall under this category, consider the seven following tips on how to choose a classic leather jacket. 1) Brown or black For a classic appearance, choose a leather jacket featuring either brown or black.
