Designer Leather Jackets When it comes to choosing and buying designer leather jackets it isn’t always what you read in the description that matters. It’s often what you don’t read in the description which makes the difference.

Many people approach buying leather jackets by looking at the style and way the jacket looks, and by the price tag. Often it may be hard to understand why two apparently similar jackets have such widely different price tags. Isn’t it always better to go for the cheaper one if they both look much the same? After all, leather is leather – it can’t make that much difference?

In fact if you read the description you’ll discover that both jackets are made from 100% genuine leather, and they may both look very nice. But once you wear them, feel the leather and move around in them you’ll start to notice a real difference.

This is because whilst both leather jackets may have labels stating that they are both leather, the truth is that there are all different kinds of leather, and this makes a huge difference to both the comfort and feel of the jacket as well as the way it looks, hangs, moves and protects.

Most traditional biker jackets are made from cow hide. This leather is thick, tough and highly suited to the task, since the word is protection. Biker jackets are often bought for the visual look and style as much as anything, but the real reason why biker jackets are made from cow hide is because it’s about the toughest leather around, and will offer a great deal of protection if you happen to be riding a motorbike and having to protect yourself should you fall off at high speed onto a rather unforgiving surface.

But if you mention the idea of biker jackets or leather coats of any kind to people they generally think of heavy leather made from cow hide that’s thick, less flexible and can make you feel too warm. After all, it’s summer, not winter, and leather jackets should be flexible enough to cope with the cooler days as well as the frozen days.

Can leather be lightweight, comfortable, flexible and yet still provide enough protection? What is the best type of leather for the variable British summer?
