Leather jackets are the modern fashion of every man. And in this article, we are going to talk about various types of material available in men’s leather motorcycle jackets and all the points you should consider before buying a motorcycle leather jacket for men and also we will give you professional views on different types of materials that are available and for what purpose which material jacket will be the best pick.

Alright so starting with, why you should buy a leather jacket?

Well, leather biker jackets for men at first look give you a muscular look and a sharp cool, funky look that is quite attractive to women. Well if you look at the history of leather jackets, these were mostly worn by military soldiers and they show an image of maturity and reliability of the person wearing them. Also, the early form of Armor was also leather as it keeps you warm in outdoor conditions and is very durable. There are several other stories about jackets but I guess you would have got my point and I’ll not be wasting your time on more history of jackets. Leather jackets are warm so if you are a heavy rider then these can protect you from the heavy cold wind and even in snow and rainy weather the jacket always maintains the optimal body temperature and protect you from getting ill so that you can go for more rides without any worry.

Now let’s talk about the durability of the men’s leather motorcycle jackets

As this question might arise in your mind that, I’m going to spend this much money on this piece of the jacket will it remain for a long time with respect to the money that I’ve spent on it? Yes, you should have this question. It’s better to have these questions that is why this article will be helpful to you right. There was an interview of a general in which he told that he has been using the jacket he was wearing for around 30 years or so. So I guess this answers your question. Well, a good material leather jacket can easily last for more than a decade if taken good care of. That's the magical thing in leather. The better you take care of it, you condition it, and these jackets can last for over a hundred years. If you don’t take care of leather it will start to dry and crack and it will be worthless.

Talking about the materials, there is full-grain meaning the animal skin is used on both sides of the leather jacket. This type of leather motorcycle jacket is quite thick and tough as they are made using the original skin so they are very strong also but they might not be as polished as you would want as animals sometimes might have scars and they cannot be removed. Then there is Top grain where the material is smoothed. They are also both sides. Well, these are the best quality and they are quite expensive also. Next comes the genuine leather this is the inner part of the skin the top leather is removed from the leather so it’s thinner in comparison to full grain and top grain. The difference between genuine and top grain can be easily observed with eyes.

Next on the list comes bonded leather well to be true with you, try to avoid this material jacket. These types of jackets are made using torn pieces or small pieces of leather and stitching or using glue to make a full jacket. These will be quite cheap but as the price goes down the durability and warmth of the jacket. Now last is synthetic leather, they are artificially made jackets and they don’t last much longer but if you don’t want to wear animal skin but want same looks you can go for this but you should not try to use conditioners and stuff on this as it will reduce its life.

Well, these were all the types of leather motorcycle jackets for men so I guess you found this article informative and you are now ready to buy a genuine leather motorcycle jacket.
