What is it about the 'coolness' of wearing a leather jacket,that you most admire ?

What is it about the 'coolness' and / or the 'personality'
projected by wearing a leather jacket, that you most admire and have
always found to be appealing ?

:) There are so many styles of leather jackets, I don't think any
particular personality is projected just by the garment being leahter.
A leather 3–button blazer, a long leather trenchcoat, a leather
motorcycle jacket, and a leather bomber are all totally different
styles – all leather, no cohesive "image".

:) There are so many styles of leather outerwear, I don't think any
particular personality is projected by virtue of the garment being
leather. A leather 3–button blazer, a long leather trenchcoat, a
motorcycle jacket, and a leather bomber are all comepltely differently
styles. All leather, but no cohesive "image" projected by all of them
IMHO.

well I would normally agree with you but then again, I have to
disagree to a point.
I know that leather is perceived as sexy, edgy and a bit "tough" ..
personally I think it makes a great fashion statement that you can play
off of with lace, velvets, silks and create a definiing look similar to
what's being done with denim
I have tons of leather pants.. a couple of blazers and a trench and
jackets and 3–4 skirts

Well,back when i was in igh school,i felt REALLY kool wearing a black
leather motorcycle jacket with almost EVERYTHING i wore.That was just my
thing.But even after HS it was "My style" Mind you,my leather wasnt
really warm anyway.I just liked the way it looked...&made me feel.That
was back more than 8 years ago tho.
Of course i still LOVE leather jackets,but the whole MC thing isnt me
anymore. (Guess i've "grown up..LOL).
Lately,i dont even really own but one 3/4 length leather coat.I
have an ivory colored jacket,an army green jacket & a brown jacket. I'm
still looking for the perfect Black leather short jacket.
I LOVE leather in general.I mean hey,i could just buy a suede or any
other type of material,but the leather just looks kooler & sexier...No
to mention smells good too.LOL.
