The fashionable leather jacket can be traced back to the early 1900s, from the First World War. German fighter pilots started wearing the leather jacket, that became known as the bomber jacket in the Second World War. Leather jackets are synonymous with pilots, with the flight and aviator jackets.

The leather jacket was introduced to the fashion world in 1928, by an inspirational designer, Irvin Schott. His design was similar to what we know as a biker’s jacket. This was the jacket that inspired the modern leather jackets for men available today. Irvin Schott used a zipper rather than buttons, making the garment more appealing to the fashion world. The first jacket sold for $5.50 (approximately £4.15).

In the 1950s and 1960s, almost every man who drove a car r rode a motorbike wore a leather bomber jacket, which was made from cowhide and horsehide and available in brown or black. The biker jacket we know today with an off-centre zip and slash chest pocket became associated with the rebellious youth at the time, even if they didn't ride or own a motorbike.

The leather jacket rose to fame when worn by Marlon Brando in The Wild One. Today, the leather jacket is an essential item in any man's wardrobe.
