5 Dos and Donts of Vintage Leather Jackets

• A leather jacket is something both men and women
  can rock and look equally stylish in them. But
  when we talk about vintage leather jackets there
  is no one who does better than the Real Leather
  Garments. Womens leather jackets are something
  that we all love and like wearing often, however,
  when it is to vintage leather jackets, most women
  do not know how to pair them up or wear them with
  something they like. Women often end up pairing
  the vintage leather jackets for women they end up
  wearing a lousy dress which takes away the
  essence of their overall look. This is why we
  believe women should know how and what to wear
  because you cannot just waste an absolutely a
  good outfit or a leather jacket by ruining it
  with someone else.

We all are aware of the fact that leather jackets
are available in hundreds of styles and designs,
this is one of the reasons why it is the favorite
piece of attire for most men and women out there.
While there are various new styles of leather
jackets, some vintage leather jackets are still
the most loved and worn all over the world. As
the name suggests the vintage leather jackets are
timeless and classic, there is something about
them that makes them the first choice of women
and men. The vintage jackets have been around for
many decades. The jacket was originally developed
for crewmen and air force pilots in the 1950s.
Whoever you are looking for, there are some
things that you should do and should never do
with a vintage jacket.

1. Do Go for a Light Color
The vintage leather jackets look the BEST in
light colors, even though there are dozens of
colors available in this design however when you
compare them with the darker color it just does
not hit your right. When you choose a lighter
color, it just gives off more of a timeless
experience which darker colors do not really
give. As time passes, the color fades and it
makes them look more classic. It is one of the
main characteristics of the patina a timeless
vintage jacket, it refers to the look of an
overall aged leather. We suggest you go for a
tan, beige, or light brown shades as they are an
excellent choice of colors for a vintage leather
jacket.

2. Dont Go for Faux Leather
Faux leather is good for some time but the
texture and overall look of it quickly fades away
when it is constantly used. It looks like real
leather, so real that no one can tell if it is
fake but it wears off pretty soon, therefore we
recommend never going for faux leather when
buying a vintage leather jacket. The faux leather
is not made of animal hide or it is not processed
or made in a way that real leather is made. If
you find a chemical-like smell, artificial
texture, or the jacket making a crunching noise,
this is when you should know it is a faux leather
jacket and not the actual one.

3. Go for an Antique Zipper
When we talk about zippers there is a huge list
of kinds of zippers that you can use on your
jacket and without any doubt, it is one of the
most neglected parts of the whole jacket. When
you are buying a leather jacket make sure you are
inspecting its zipper just the right way, you
would find them on the front just like all the
regular jackets. Back in the time, people used to
wear leather jackets to protect themselves from
cold and not for fashion purposes. Now that the
times have changed people wear leather jackets
for both warmth and fashion. Zippers are still
found on the front side but the way they are made
is very different. When you get an antique
zipper, it shows the jacket is genuine and real.

4. Do not Go for Second Hand
In order to save some bucks, people often end up
buying a second-hand jacket, a second-hand jacket
may be good for starters but in the long run,
they wear off pretty fast. When you buy a
second-hand jacket you do not really know what to
expect from it? IF you get lucky you will have
something classy and your money will be worth it.
On the other hand, someone can truly scam you as
well by selling off their worn-out and damaged
second-hand jacket. Therefore, it is better to
spend money once and for all on the new and real
leather jacket. If taken care of well, they will
last you a lifetime.

5. Do Check Out the Grain
One of the many mistakes that both men and women
make while buying a vintage jacket is they do not
check or inspect the grain rightfully. All the
real leather jackets are made of grain, it is a
different kind of pattern on the real leather
surface. It can be both narrow and fine or wide
and thick. When you go for high-quality leather,
expect a fine grain. On the other hand, the
pattern of the whole jacket should also be
closely knit, if you come across a wide grain
jacket, we recommend you do not buy it as it is
not of good quality and does not last much
longer.
