A leather jacket is a type of clothing, a jacket made of leather. The jacket usually has a brown, dark grey or black color. Leather jackets can be styled in a variety of ways, and different versions have been associated with different subcultures. For instance, the leather jacket has often been associated with bikers, military aviators, rock stars, punks, goths, metalheads, rivetheads and police, who have worn versions designed for protective purposes and occasionally for their potentially intimidating appearance.
