An Ode to Leather Jackets

A leather jacket is without a doubt a must-have staple within any wardrobe. Ranging in various styles and cuts, it’s no wonder why every year we bring out our forever favorite from storage or start our search for the one. This fall is no different, and with the cold weather approaching sooner than we expected, we decided to pay homage to the classic fall essential piece to all.

Originally made popular in the early 1900s during the First World War, soldiers would wear what would become known as leather bomber jackets.
