Motorcycle leather jacket

The wardrobe of the girl, like nothing else, reflects her personality. Clothing can tell not only about the character of a person, but also about his type of activity and hobbies. If there is a motorcycle jacket in your wardrobe, it means that extreme and thirst for adventure are not alien to you. In addition, to wear such a thing, it is not necessary to be a dashing motorcyclist or biker girlfriend. It is enough only rebellious spirit and the ability to harmoniously combine clothes of different styles.

Today we will tell you about the features of motorcycle leather jackets: their varieties and purpose, as well as about how and with what it is recommended to wear this thing.

The most high-quality and stylish motorcycle jackets are made of genuine leather, as a rule, cowhide or pork. Here, leather plays an important role in its excellent protective characteristics, and for motorcyclists this is of paramount importance. In addition, the skin is durable, so this jacket will last you more than one year, even if you expose it to various tests related to extreme hobbies.

Real bikers, for whom the motorcycle is an important part of life, choose motorcycle jackets with protection. In order not to depend on weather conditions, you need to purchase a jacket that protects from rain and wind. Waterproof models are treated with a special composition that repels water droplets. Windproofs are provided by insulated inserts at the most vulnerable places, for example, on the neck.

Traditionally, the motoseason opens in the spring, when the snow melts, and closes in the fall, when the first, thin ice appears on the roads. Depending on the season of the year, there are two options for motorcycle jackets - lightweight, summer and warmed, winter.

In sub-zero temperatures, during the rain and snow, motorcyclists prefer to travel, wearing a winter version of a motorcycle jacket. It is longer than the summer, and has a higher degree of protection from the weather. To better keep warm, such models often provide insulated linings, which, if necessary, can be unfastened. Winter jackets are usually more expensive than summer ones.

Summer models of biker leather jackets are shorter and lighter than winter options. Sometimes for the warm season, motorcyclists choose light jackets, for example, beige, gray or brown, although the classic color for "leather jackets" is black. If for you a motorcycle jacket is more an element of style than a symbol of belonging to the culture of bikers, then feel free to choose models of light shades.

We have long been accustomed to the fact that all modern cars have an airbag, which significantly reduces the risk of damage in the event of an accident. On a motorcycle, the installation of such a device is problematic, so motorcycle leather jackets with a built-in air bag began to appear not so long ago.

It operates according to the following principle: a camera with an air valve acting on a strong blow is sewn into the back of the jacket. If a collision occurs, the valve will trigger and the chamber will begin to fill with air. Thus, the head and neck of the motorcyclist will be protected.

Everyone knows that traditionally biker jackets were black. But over time, even male models began to differ in some color variety, what can we say about women! If you are not a fan of black, look at gray, blue, and brown models.

Motorcycle leather jacket does not belong to the category of those things that can be easily sewn with your own hands. Those who want to acquire a unique jacket, created according to their own sketch, are usually sent to workshops that specialize in sewing leather goods. When developing a model of a motorcycle jacket, you need to take into account many nuances:

• cut - the jacket should not hamper movements, but at the same time it should completely cover the arms, chest, abdomen and back;
• material - leather jackets are sewn from genuine or artificial leather or from synthetic, “sporty” fabrics, such as a cord (a type of dense nylon);
• pockets - there should be a lot of them, and they should be located in accessible places, because a motorcyclist always keeps a lot of useful things with him, and taking a bag with him is very inconvenient;
• zippers on motorcycle jackets are designed so that they can withstand heavy loads, and protected from rain with wind;
• lining - inserts of durable material on top of the skin provide additional protection against physical damage;
• air permeability - in spite of the fact that real biker jackets are very dense, they pass air well, thus protecting the body from overheating.

• A quality motorcycle jacket should be made of thick, thick enough skin. This skin is almost not elastic, so the product is not deformed under the influence of external factors.
• Since the quality leather for biker jackets does not stretch, pay attention to the sleeves of your chosen model were bent at the elbows - this will give you more freedom in movement.

Since a good motorcycle jacket is not a cheap pleasure, it should be handled with care, and the basic rules for caring for leather goods should be followed.

• Store the jacket preferably in a textile case in an upright position; Case is recommended to hang in a room with good ventilation.
• Wash the product in any case impossible. Dirt should be cleaned with special tools designed for things made of genuine leather.

Motorcycle jackets can be combined not only with leather pants, heavy boots and shiny helmets. This jacket may well be the only thing in the biker style in the kit. In everyday life, you can wear it with your favorite jeans, T-shirts and sneakers.
