A leather coat is quite simply a wardrobe staple and a great addition to your personal look and style. They are always hip and stylish yet they are durable, timeless and classic. A leather jacket is an investment that pays off over the years.
Finding the right leather coat for you, can be a little daunting but thereare a few helpful tips I can offer you. First, be prepared to spend around $250 or even more. A good leather coat really is an investment piece in your wardrobe, not a one off purchase you make every season. You will wear it many times over the years so you should buy a quality item.
Ok, so leather coats are expensive so look for silouettes that are flattering and timeless. Try the classic styles such as the bomber jacket, the blazer, zip up, or maybe a trench style leather coat.
Black or brown are colors that will also stand the test of time, making your investment pay off. While red, blue, or even a bright hues like pink can seem "cute" and "in" this season, it is unlikely to be flattering in a few years time. To get the best value for your money avoid these trendy colors and stick with classic colors and styles. The short jacket or hip-length styles are the most versatile, always able to adapt through many seasons.You should buy your leather coat to fit you well, but don't buy a coat that is too snug. Remember that you may want to wear your leather jacket all year round so in the winter you may want to layer sweaters or other items under your coat.
The texture of leather varies and is also important in selecting the right leather coat for you. You can get textures that are buttery soft, thin leather or go for a more durable, thicker leather. Choose the texture based on what you prefer as well as what you plan to do in your jacket. A thicker leather suits a more active lifestyle, while a thinner, sleeker leather is more sophisticated and upscale. Check the quality of manufacturing, collars and pockets should lie flat, and lining should have strong seams especially in the pockets where a great deal of wear and tear occurs. If anything is unraveling or looks weak now, it will not stand the test of several seasons of wear, and you should buy another coat!
Once you select the perfect jacket, make sure that you store it flat or on a wide, sturdy, padded hanger to prevent streching or distortion in the leather and avoid plastic covers. Leather is a natural material that needs to breathe but not to get damp.
If ever you get stains on your leather jacket you should treat them as soon as possible, either via spot cleaning or through a reputable dry cleaner who offers leather services.
Buy the right leather coat and and look after it and it will last you year after year and always look smart. Leather coats are an investment piece in your wardrobe.
