Ladies, do you like men in leather jackets? I read an article in the latest issue of 'Details'. The woman who wrote it thought men who wore leather jackets were insecure and just looked ridiculous.

Black leather jacket with leather gloves? Is this too much leather for a man to wear at one time? I often wear black leather jacket and gloves when walking out, driving or on public transport, even when it's not that cold outside. I've been into wearing leather since my teens, 28 now. All my leather items are as soft, top quality and nice looking as can get , all bought in Spain and Italy. I've been complemented on my leather by girlfriends and friends in the past and told I suit leather, but I still get funny looks occasionally - It's not particularly common for guys my age to dress this way in my area. What's the general opinion? Leather gloves and jackets on men, nice, sexy? Too much? weird?

Buying a casual leather jacket for sixth form (men)? So sixth forms coming up soon, and basically I have lots of money from my part time job, and savings, so I want to buy some new clothes.

Here's the link to the jacket I like: http://www.arkclothing.com/Ark_Male/Sale/Superdry_Hooded_Leather_Club_Jacket2.html The annoying thing about this, is that it's actually a pretty good offer, just they only sell large, and X-large, but I can always search around other shops. Would you think that buying a leather jacket would be over the top, and when do you think I should wear it (If I should buy it at all)? Thanks in advance!

I am looking for a men's slighty shiny black, padded short jacket with white zips? While I was in London recently I saw a two people wearing a really nice jacket. I've searched on the net but have not found it... yet. Do any of you fashion gurus know which one I mean? It is a man's jacket. A black, slightly padded jacket, made from a slightly shiny material. It was in the same shape and similar style to a short leather jacket. It's most distinguishing feature was that it had white zips against the black material. From what I remember, it had a main zip, and one on each arm, and some for pockets I think. Can anybody guide me to this jacket or ones that are similar? Thanks in advance :) Linda C, you could wear it where ever you want. I saw somebody wearing it in the airport as I was coming home from London. It's just a normal, but stylish jacket :)

Can a woman wear a mans jacket? I mean, obviously I can if I want to but would it look good? Its really a blazer, and its a tan leather. Its vintage also (it was my granpa's). The only problem I fine with it really is that it sort of squares my shoulders (not much though, there is no padding there or anything)....it was just made more for a man's shoulders than a womans. Do you think it would be worth going to a tailor? Would it be very expensive? Thanks for the help! He's still alive by the way....lol, he just gave me his jacket. It fits well everywhere, even in length (yeah, I'm tall...). The only real problem is the shoulders.

Is is odd that my wife loves to wear leather clothing? We have a great relationship, but I have noticed that she loves to wear leather!

When we were shopping the other day, she really wanted me to get a leather jacket and some luxurious black leather gloves. My perception is that leather is a very bold statement and I'm not sure if men wear leather gloves out in public haha. Any insight on this? We are both in our upper 20's. Thanks!

LADIES: Do you find black leather jackets on men sexy?

You see a young caucasian man wearing a leather vest or motorcycle jacket. Do you assume anything about him? I used to be that young man wearing the leather vest or jacket, and I can tell you, people did make assumptions. I'm sure there were a few homophobes who assumed I was gay, but most of them obviously thought I was either a racist or a gang member, which I often discovered during confrontations with random people of all ages and races, who looked like they might like to kill me. Despite my shyness and tendency to just mind my own business, some joker would always notice and target me. Why is it that so many people still have a 1950's Hollywood idea of what a "bad boy" looks like? Newsflash, gang members of today do not look like bikers! Since I started wearing fabrics in colors like light blue, tan, white, green, etc., I've had none of these random, hostile encounters.

What is your moral opinion on leather jackets? I'm all for animal-rights and I would never wear real fur, but I'm not sure about leather. On the one hand, with leather, often the whole animal is used (the meat for food at grocery stores, etc.) and none is wasted, so it's not like buying a jacket that an animal died for- the animal was used for more than one cause. On the other hand, I still feel it's kind of gross. Should I op for faux (man-made) "leather" instead?
