There are some jackets that started out as really a functional part of a uniform. Like the motorcycle jacket which is very popular and has been since it hit the fashion scene in the nineteen thirties. The reason that leather was the chosen material of motorcycle riders is because of its durability. These leather jackets are used as a second skin, in case of a fall they will protect the body from road rash.
that's hot;
ReplyDeleteis there a brand to it?
not that it should matter.
That is one neat looking jacket!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like it!
If I didn't have too many jackets as it is, I would buy it. :)

ReplyDeleteit is it is very beautiful!
ReplyDeletelike always, i wish it were me size!
I REALLY WANTED IT... LE SIGH. =(
ReplyDeletei like asymmetry in outerwear. as opposed to underwear. although i'm not opposed to asymmetrical underwear.
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of an old-lady-jacket (wool?) i eyed in l.a. last week. i tried it on, but it got even old-lady-ier by the time i was wearing it!
(didn't fit! which is strange! because my limbs are longer than an old lady's!)
wool!!!!
