A short history of the leather jacket.

A leather jacket is a jacket made from leather. The jacket is usually black, brown but lately, colorful leather jackets, including USA flag jackets have featured virtually any color. There are a many of styles of leather jacket and different styles have been associated with different sub-cultures. For example, the leather jacket has been associated with biker clubs, jet fighter pilots, punk rockers, and cops, which wear jackets for protection and for an overall intimidating appearance.

In the 20th and 21st centuries the leather jacket became an American icon, largely through the movies. Examples include many actors. Many actors popularized leather jackets in Anglo Western culture. Another American icon from Terminator, Arnold Schwarzeneggers's ‘Terminator’ also popularized the leather jacket. The Terminator leather jacket is now one of the most popular styles ever.

The leather jacket typically chosen by aviators and soldiers are called bombers or simply bomber jackets which were made to specifications and seen in various movies.

There is a difference between fashion leather jackets and motorcycle jackets. Leather jackets manufactured for motorbikes and police protect the body and are much thicker.
