Marlon Brando started the rebel culture when he starred in 'The Wild One'. And when we talk about culture we mean inspiring a whole bunch of cool wannabes who donned the leather jacket and rebelled, albeit without a cause.
Sleek Harley-Davidsons paired with stylish jackets became a common sight on highways. Riders flaunted hip bikes, premium jackets, Levi's jeans, chunky silver jewelry, and tattooed bodies at popular eateries and pubs.
Jackets are a staple for bikers, embraced by both male and female riders for their hardcore appeal.
Motorcycle gear includes helmets, leather pants, jackets, and boots, serving both protection and style.

Although the main aim of motorcycle riding gear has always been to shield the driver, this piece has found so many takers only to obtain a pure 'biker-look'.
Types
The 'grain' of the leather is of utmost importance. It has to have the best fiber strength for better durability and greater comfort. Finished split, full-grain (also known as naked leather), and top grain leather are some of the types used to craft a motorcycle jacket.
The full-grain is the most preferred and also the most expensive. It requires a meticulous process, which results in some of the finest hides being used for the jackets.

Designs
The go-to style for most jackets includes zippered fronts, multiple pockets, and padding on shoulders, elbows, chest, and back. Ample pocket space and weather protection are key features for utility.
Waterproof jackets, though known to protect you from the rain, cannot really replace practical rain gear. The thickness of the jacket should be considered before you make this important purchase.
