FULL LEATHER JACKET


Paul Simonon & Steve Jones
Having recently acquired a fine Belstaff Biker jacket I now fancy myself as a rather cool fellow when I'm wearing it, which got me to thinking of how the Bike/Leather jacket combo is ingrained in popular culture with a certain swagger. Here are some examples.
McQueen

Brando-Wild
Gina Carano

 
Faithful
Johhny Blaze
A fine example of the Bikesploitation movie
Elvis

    The jacket of the season for me has to be the Bomber Jacket. i love this jacket so much!!! I always get questions where i get it from and I'm glad to get it from Famous movie jackets. They have huge variety of leatherjackets, Spiderman Homecoming Leather Jacket, movies jackets and lots of more.
