    Well I've got a bit different experience. Last time I attended concerts was pre-lockdown, Supersuckers with Ravangers in Baltimore, Reverend Horton Heat in DC, and there were quite a few people with leather jackets on, primarily perfecto style but I caught a glimpse of hip length button down...

    Why a Leather Jacket?

    For me it started with my father being a police officer in Philadelphia wearing leather jacket which made him look cool, in control, assertive and comfortable during the winter.
