What to Know Before Selecting and Buying Men's Leather Jackets

Even though there are a lot of jackets available in the market, every jacket may not suit you. Just like shirts and trousers have to be selected to see if they fit and look good or not, jackets also need to be selected. The choice of a jacket depends majorly on your body build. Weight, body type and height are the most important factors to be considered when buying men's leather jackets.

The most important feature is height. Tall men look good in long dark-colored gear. Some leather coats go all the way down to the knees, perfect for guys standing more than six feet high. If you have long legs, you can wear long leather trench coats with long scarves. If you have a short body build, jackets with 3/4 quarter sleeves and dark colors may be ideal.

Your weight tells a lot about your body and the type of clothes it needs. If you are skinny, then it is best to wear double-breasted jackets for a tight look. If you have a muscular or an overall broad build, you will look your very best in single button jackets as they highlight your muscular body. Most jackets are designed to fit snugly, so you should get one that doesn't hug your body too tightly. If you have muscular arms, then jackets with large arm-holes may be perfect for you. If you have broad shoulders, then don't forget to check the jacket's chest area. It should be roomy enough for a comfortable fit.

Leather jackets are made from lambskin or cow-hide. Lambskin leather is soft and gives a dressy look. It is not meant for rough use. Cow-hide is more durable and sought after in vintage jackets as it lasts longer and has a rough appearance.

Jackets come with different collar styles, colors and makes. Bomber jackets, distressed leather jackets and motocross jackets are among the popular cuts of men's leather jackets. Bomber jackets fit to the waist and are ideal for somebody having broad shoulders. Motocross or biker jackets are made from heavy-duty leather to last longer. They also have a tight fit, to keep the biker warm. Distressed leather gives the jacket a vintage look and these jackets look good with other classic apparel.

Even though black is believed to be a man's favorite color, a majority likes and wears brown jackets too. Brown jackets give a more casual look, especially if paired with jeans. When in doubt about which color suits you, the easiest way is to choose a color based on the majority of your wardrobe. Black jackets usually look good with bright and vibrant colored clothes, while brown jackets give a warmer tone.

Men's leather jackets are one of the toughest apparel for men. They sometimes last so long that they are carried down to the next generation. No compromise should be made on their quality as these jackets are usually a long-term investment to your wardrobe. Any extra bucks you spend will eventually pay off in the long run.It would be better to buy a branded jacket than to settle for some cheap one that may not hold out for more than a few months.
