So, consider the following tips when traveling with your leather jacket to protect it from damage. Wear It Perhaps the easiest way to travel with a leather jacket is to wear it. If you’re traveling in a vehicle, you can wear it while driving. If you’re flying via a commercial airliner, wear it in the cabin. All major airlines allow passengers to wear coats and jackets, and there’s no rule stating that passengers can’t wear leather jackets.

You don’t have to worry about someone mishandling it, nor will it get lost or stolen. Since it’s on your body at all times, you can rest assured knowing that it’s safe and secure during your travels.

If you’re searching for a new jacket, you can’t go wrong with black leather. It’s been around for many decades, consistently ranking as one of the most popular choices of outerwear among men and women alike. The semi-formal black color combined with the premium look of genuine leather offers an unparalleled level of versatility. But if you’re planning to wear a black leather jacket, there are a few fashion dos and don’ts you should follow. Doing so will help you create the most complete, cohesive and attractive look possible — and that’s something everyone should strive for when getting dressed in the morning. Do Choose Genuine Leather Leather jackets of all colors look better when they are made of genuine leather rather than fake or faux leather. However, this is particularly true when speaking about black leather jackets. If a black leather jacket is made of faux leather, it will look artificially shiny and almost glossy. This is an unnatural look that reflects poorly upon your appearance. Therefore, it’s recommended that you choose a black leather jacket made of genuine, authentic leather. Don’t Wear Brown in Your Outfit Because it’s a neutral color, many people assume that brown is okay to include in their outfit when wearing a black leather jacket. The problem with wearing brown garments or accessories, however, is that they clash with black. Even small amounts of brown in your outfit will clash with your black leather jacket. Whether it’s in your pants, shirt, shoes, belt, wristwatch, etc., avoid wearing brown in your outfit if you are wearing a black leather jacket. Do Get the Right...

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...
