When shopping for a new leather jacket, you may come across the Grunge Leather Jacket. It receives its namesake from its grunge-era style. The Grunge Leather Jacket is still made of leather, and it’s available in different colors and sizes. It stands out from all other leather jackets, however, by offering a unique vintage style that’s associated with the grunge era of the 1980s and 90s.
What Is the Grunge Leather Jacket?
Available for sale here at LeatherCult, the Grunge Leather Jacket is a premium leather jacket that’s reminiscent of those worn during the grunge era. The grunge era, of course, occurred during the 1980s and 90s. It was essentially a subculture that revolved around alternative rock.
The grunge era can best be described as an evolution of the punk era. Long before the grunge era emerged, there was the punk era. The punk era paved the way for alternative rock and, thus, the grunge era. Each of these eras had its own unique style of clothing. The Grunge Leather Jacket is a premium leather jacket in a similar style as those worn during the grunge era.
Suede Leather Construction
The Grunge Leather Jacket is made of suede leather. If you rub your hand across the surface of it, you’ll notice that it feels fuzzy. Other types of leather jackets may have a solid and smooth texture, but the Grunge Leather Jacket has a fuzzy texture thanks to its use of suede leather.
What is suede leather exactly? It’s a type of split leather that, like all real leather, is made of tanned animal hide. Suede leather is typically made of either sheepskin or cowskin. Regardless, it consists of animal hide that’s been processed and tanned. Suede leather is classified as a type of split leather, meaning the top grain is separated or “split” from the hide. Suede leather has a fuzzy, napped finish that distinguishes it from other types of leather. The Grunge Leather Jacket is made of this same suede leather.
Some of the benefits of suede leather include the following:
- Super soft, fuzzy texture that’s comfortable to wear
- Long-lasting
- Easy to maintain
- Weighs less than other types of leather
Dusty Beige Color
As shown in the adjacent photos, the Grunge Leather Jacket features a dusty beige color. Beige was a popular color during the grunge era. And even today, many people still include it in their outfits. It’s a shade of light brown that matches most other colors with which it’s worn. You can wear beige with green, blue, white, black and countless other colors.
You won’t have trouble putting together attractive, matching outfits with the Grunge Leather Jacket. With its dusty beige color, it flows cohesively with nearly all other colors. The Grunge Leather Jacket is dyed during production to achieve its distinct dusty beige color. If you prefer the universal and stylish appearance of dusty beige, you may want to choose the Grunge Leather Jacket.
Plenty of Pockets
The Grunge Leather Jacket offers plenty of pockets. It features two breast pockets on the front, each of which is secured with a single button. Other types of leather jackets may or may not feature breast pockets. With the Grunge Leather Jacket, you can rest assured knowing that it features two prominent and stylish breast pockets on the front.
In addition to the breast pockets, there are several other, more discreet pockets on the Grunge Leather Pocket. There are two vertical pockets, for instance, below the breast pockets. You can use these vertical pockets to store small items, or you can use them to keep your hands warm. If it’s cold outside, you can place your hands inside of the vertical pockets.
Available With Lining
Looking for a leather jacket with lining? You may want to choose the Grunge Leather Jacket. Assuming you order the Grunge Leather Jacket here at LeatherCult, you can choose from one of several lining options.
Lining consists of a layer of material that’s added to the interior of a jacket. The Grunge Leather Jacket will still be made of high-quality suede leather. With lining, though, it will feature an extra layer of material added to the interior.
Most types of lining consist of viscose. Viscose is a silk-like material that’s soft, shiny and gentle on the skin. With that said, the Grunge Leather Jacket is also available in wool. You can choose either viscose lining or wool lining — or even quilted lining — when ordering the Grunge Leather Jacket. Alternatively, you can opt for no lining.
Button-Up Front
Another noteworthy feature of the Grunge Leather Jacket is a button-up front. It specifically features a single-breasted front. Single-breasted jackets, including the Grunge Leather Jacket, have a single column of buttons on the front. They offer a cleaner, more modern appearance than double-breasted jackets, the latter of which feature two columns of buttons on the front.
With its button-up front, the Grunge Leather Jacket will keep you warm. Other types of leather jackets may have an open front without any buttons. And without buttons, you won’t be able to close them. To beat the winter weather, you should choose a leather jacket with a button-up front, such as the Grunge Leather Jacket.
Don’t Forget to Choose the Right Size
If you’re going to order the Grunge Leather Jacket, you should choose the right size. You probably won’t wear it very often — or at all — it if doesn’t fit. Jackets that are too small are uncomfortable to wear, and jackets that are too big look baggy and awkward.
Fortunately, choosing the right size is a breeze. You can either choose a fixed size by referring to our size chart here, or you can choose a custom size. Custom sizes are designed specifically for you. When ordering the Grunge Leather Jacket, you can select custom sizing for the size. When checking out, you can then enter your body measurements. We’ll use these body measurements to design the perfect Grunge Leather Jacket specifically for you.
