Leather jacket

A leather jacket is a jacket or coat made from the tanned skin of various animals. The leather material is typically dyed black or various shades of brown, but a wide range of colors are possible. Leather jackets are designed for many purposes, and specific styles have been associated with both aesthetic and protective functions for aviators and motorcyclists, as well as subcultures such as greasers, punks, goths, and metalheads.
