There is an intangible piece to all of this I rarely hear discussed. How does the jacket make one feel when you wear it? Visual appeal, technical correctness and proper fit are all important considerations related to value. But unlike other pieces of clothing, a leather jacket has an intense...

Everyone talks about about Brando in "The Wild One." In 1971, Richard Roundtree in "Shaft" made Brando look like a sissy and was WAY more hip. I believe he and some other stars during that time were every bit as influential in bringing leather into the mainstream of American society...

Wanna be old school cool? This is THE look for which to strive. Jeans that show some wear. Same with the shoes/boots. Hair that is natural, not coifed. Throw in a wallet chain if you'd like. Bravo!
...a little fun. This is a friend who has done a marvelous job of coordinating her jacket and dog. It is an Italian Sheepdog puppy, and this is one of their color combinations.
Didn't think this justified a thread, so just a bit of news...maybe a new source of future leather for UK? Rangers Donovan Wright and Tom Gibbs will be introducing a herd of European bison (Bison bonasus) into 500 hectares (1250 acres) of primeval woods in southern England in a $1.4 million...
