Leather Jackets & Coats

Leather Jackets & Coats

Lots of new fall fashions are coming this year as the season changes from summer to fall. Some of the new Jackets & Coats are truly classic such as the heavy-duty leather flight jackets. Worn for fashion or for warmth jackets and coats have many unique styles.

Coats are made typically with long sleeves and open down the front of the garment by any number of means, buttons, zippers, hook and loop fasteners, toggles or belts.

Leather Jackets and the care for them is important to know if you would ever make such a purchase. It should be said first that prevention is the best way to care for a leather jacket - i.e. condition it and waterproof right as you get it home.

I would be willing to bet that well maintained Leather Jacket could be looking good for up to 50 years and maybe beyond. There are many products are out there to help a Leather Jacket owner care for and maintain the Jacket for years to come.

Parkas/Shells/Systems are Jackets that are more intricate than a simple Leather Jacket.These Jackets & Coats are made of such things as -100% waterproof nylon shell with PVC coating, or 100% ripstop nylon shell with Taslan nylon accents. These materials are the best and most weather resistant even mountain climbers utilize the same materials for extreme weather conditions.

Parkas are very warm and come in many colors; originally they were made of fur and was a hooded garment. Factors such as climate and natural resources have been an influence on all types of clothing from Eskimos to the city dweller. Today Parkas are usually a lined fabric with a tough outer layer which could be a pullover or a zippered Jacket.
