In this essay, we’ll look at the history of leather jackets in order to better understand how this piece of clothing become a permanent fixture in every men and woman’s modern wardrobe.

LET’S GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING – THE EARLY 1900S. – KTM Factory Racing Leather Jacket

Before we get into why men’s leather jackets are so popular and won’t go away, it’s important to understand where our beloved rockabilly outerwear came from. The ultra-stylish fashion piece has its roots in military uniforms. The brown leather jacket, which subsequently became known as the bomber jacket during World War II, was first worn by German fighter pilots in the early 1900s during the First World War (something like in the picture above).

The heated bomber jacket, also known as the flying jacket or aviator jacket, was a practical and pragmatic choice of outerwear for pilots who had to deal with intense cold at high altitudes. The timelessly stylish style, which was a part of military uniform at the time, could never have predicted how important it would become to the fashion-forward just a few years later.

LATE 1920S INTRODUCTION TO THE FASHION WORLD

Irvin Schott, an extremely skilled designer who inspired many subsequent designers, initially presented the leather jacket as a trendy item in 1928. His design (seen above) was inspired by modern motorbike leather jackets and was named after his favourite cigar manufacturer. The jacket design was flawless, and it is still widely prized by fashionistas today.

The present street style leather jacket is heavily influenced by this OG garment. Instead of utilising buttons for the front fastening, as was the custom at the period, Schott chose a daring zipper closing, which enhanced the overall aspect of the jacket. This first trendy leather jacket was sold for a pittance of $5.50, arguably the lowest amount ever paid for such a well-known design in the history of leather jackets.

IN THE 1950S AND 1960S, A STAR IS BORN

The craze gained popularity soon after the first leather jacket was designed and offered as fashionable apparel. Many fashionistas began to incorporate the look into their everyday attire, and the leather jacket became a wardrobe staple. In the 1950s, the fashion reached new heights, with Hollywood embracing it in some of the most popular and critically acclaimed films of the time.

Marlon Brando wore the leather jacket for the first time in The Wild One, and it was the first time it was worn by a Hollywood actor in a well-known picture. Brando’s character in the film was a deadly yet sultry gangster with impeccable fashion sense. Soon after, in Rebel Without a Cause, the beautiful heartthrob James Dean flaunted his style.

As a result, Hollywood played a big role in the history of leather jackets, pushing the fashion to spread among the general public. Leather jackets became identified with a bad guy attitude as a result of this adoption of the jackets by Hollywood rebels. The leather jacket quickly became the next hip thing for movie fans as Hollywood realised the potential of one of the most iconic styles of all time. Leather jackets were immediately popularised by rock stars such as Steve McQueen and The Beetles, and they became synonymous with rock and roll.

IN THE 1970S AND 1980S, WOMEN ENTERED THE GAME.

As rock & roll grew in popularity over the years, so did our favourite rockers’ favoured outfits. A once-dominantly male style has become popular among females as well. Some of the most brilliant and well-known women in rock and roll aided in making the movement appealing to both men and women.

Blondie and Joan Jett were among the first female bands to embrace the utilitarian yet stylish trend (pun intended), making it acceptable for ladies all around the world to join in. These famous women took it a step further and added buttons, studs, and pins to their go-to rock and roll ensemble, making an already stylish look even more so. It was in the 1970s and 1980s at the time.

MODERN FASHION FOR LEATHER JACKETS

Since then, the popularity of the leather jacket has only grown. The trend has aged like good wine, growing in popularity with each passing year. It became more acceptable for the leather jacket to be perceived as a softer, more informal, high fashion apparel item as fashion icons and supermodels became the next group to adopt the style in their own life.

These models might be spotted wearing a flawless leather jacket in places other than the runway. Celebrities like Kate Moss, who is known for her charisma, began wearing dramatic leather jackets in their off-duty ensembles, bringing the trend into the public. The popular trend of wearing leather jackets to informal occasions has reached new heights.

As a result, leather jackets in various styles are now accessible from leather skin shops. From grungy and edgy studded leather jackets to vibrantly coloured, bright fashion jackets to contemporary, minimalistic styles, current leather jackets are suitable for all occasions.

THE LAST WORD

The leather jacket has travelled a long and winding road, from the battlefield’s blood and gore to the runway’s glitz and glamour. Practical yet attractive outerwear has kept its devotees warm and stylish throughout the ages. Throughout history, many dapper dressers have made the leather jacket their distinctive style, while others have shunned it because it has become too widespread. One thing is certain: whether you consider the leather jacket to be an overdone style or a must-have, this timeless classic trend is not going away anytime soon.
