Black Leather Jacket Women & Men Styles

Leather jackets for women and men are made from almost the same process and steps apart from the difference in the jacket’s orientation. But as a whole, these are made according to the standardized styles. These styles change the jackets in various ways in terms of their appeal, durability, and purposes in leather jacket outfits.

Some of the common styles are:

Bomber jackets

This style mainly relates to tightened openings of the jacket i.e. cuffs, waist hem, and neck to retain the heat of the jacket within. The front closure is an important part of the jacket to retain jacket but this is achieved by normally using a zipper. The signature parts of a bomber jacket such as a brown leather jacket are made with ribbed cloth, zippers, or buttons to tighten them.

Distressed jackets

These black leather jackets are made with synthetically wrinkled leather. This is performed by rubbing the leather or applying aging chemicals to it. These mainly affect the appearance of the jacket but also make it aerodynamic. This generates a good experience for the wearer in terms of good appeal and wind pressure irrespective of the color e.g. a black and brown leather jacket has similar effects in this case.

Oversized jackets

A black leather jacket like other jackets is normally made as fitting to the wearer’s body figure. But in addition to that it can be made into a much bigger size than the wearer. Such a jacket’s style is termed an oversized jacket. These are good with heating due to the ample amount of leather and lining added to them. However, these jackets are not very good aesthetically.

Motorcycle jackets

Primary leather jackets have been designed for pilots which later changes and the jackets come in use for motorcycles. These jackets are made mainly for their ability to resist winds and retain heat. However, they are made into physical appeal as well due to their use. Thus, a motorcycle black leather jacket is often appealing, aerodynamic, and good at heat retention.

Blazer jackets

This black leather jacket is made to look like a blazer. Leather is much harder than fabrics & a heating material thus often made with a fully covered chest. But sometimes, it is made to have a lapel collar to resemble a blazer or a coat for formal settings. Other than that, these jackets are made to have similar pockets like blazers or coats.

Padded jackets

Leather jackets are primarily made with a non-leather material as its inner layer called the lining. This layer retains and generates heat for the wearer. This is the normal heating but if additional heating is needed, a simple modification is the addition of some synthetic material. This is added to the inner or the outer side of the jacket and a padded black leather jacket is made.

Letterman jackets

A black leather jacket can be made as a letterman jacket. This is mainly achieved by adding a letter to the breast position of the jacket. Such a jacket is also called varsity due to the use of wool in combination with leather. Moreover, this jacket comes with a diversity of colors due to the physical appeal of the design.

Aviator jackets

This style also comes from the jackets made for pilots in WWI. Pilots no longer need these and can be availed commercially for usage. It is very much similar to bomber jackets with tight waist and cuffs. But, these jackets come with their signature use of fur at the neck. This helps with heating but as a whole a black aviator leather jacket is worn for its signature look.
