It’s time to dive into leather bikers vests, but without sounding as though we were programming a computer to decide our wardrobe. Imagine yourself on the search for the perfect leather jacket by a Shipwreck in the Sand. The goal is to choose a piece which screams, “You” from far away.
The first thing to remember is that quality comes first. Or queen. If you want to be called a queen or a king, that’s fine. It should fit like a second skin but be tougher. A great leather vest should be durable enough to endure the weather, whether it’s rain or sun. Not to mention, the jacket should get better over time, much like a fine bottle of wine.
What distinguishes one vest from another? Perhaps it is the feel of buttery premium leather. Or perhaps there are little details of loving handcrafting in every stitch. The fit is also important – it should be tight to demonstrate your figure, but still roomy for a warm hoodie when it starts getting cold.
Where things really get interesting is in the customisation. You can make a top-notch vest a piece of your history. You can add patches to your vest from the places and clubs you’ve visited. Studs that reflect your character? Do you want Embroidery to reflect your personality? Yes, please! Your personality is reflected in the vest you choose.
Do not forget to check your pockets. Our phones are so important that leaving them behind can feel like you’re leaving a part of yourself behind. Most vests are equipped with plenty of pockets where you can store all the gadgets that you need (and some snacks too, just because).
What’s more, fashion no longer has gender labels. It’s no surprise that the vests of choice invite anyone to the celebration. If you love curves and angles, or anything between, a vest is waiting for you.
Not only is innovation a must for technophiles, but it also lives and breathes in the vest world. Why mix leather with denim? Panels with a breathable surface? Secret compartments to…well, hide whatever it is you need? Many vests today have hidden compartments in their sleeves.
The planet is a hot topic these days, and even rebels take it seriously. This is the new leather, with more ethical tanning and sourcing. Wear that vest proudly without guilt.
Then where can you get this amazing garment? The bespoke shop is cool, but only if money and patience are available. It’s not always the best option to go with off-the -peg items.
It’s like selecting a friend for the journey less traveled. To find “the One” it requires time, patience and some luck. But, when you finally do? As if all roads led home.
Remind yourself: There’s no need to spend your life reading about boring clothes, or writing long winded articles on them. Ride in style with your new leather biker jacket.
