Adding more leather apparel, changing looks

Ladies Denim look leather pants

With bike week going on it makes me think about how I never seem to get around to adding more leather items in here. I can carry lots more than I do now. I just never seem to have the time! But I guess I better find the time if I want to sell anything huh?

So very soon I’m going to start adding more leather apparel, like the items you see in these pictures. Plus I’m going to change the look of this site. I have been told it does not look like a store but a blog about leather, which is true.

I’m going to add pictures to the top of this page as links to the leather items for sale, along with sales, tips and so on. The blog part will still be here, just a bit lower and only 5 or so blog post per page.

Another thing I’m excited about is that I have a sexy looking friend of mine who will be modeling the ladies leather. I’m going to make videos of her wearing the items so you can see better how it fits.

I will post these videos on youtube to get more traffic here. But I also will put them in here on the item page. That way you can watch a video of how the item looks on a girl before you buy, neat huh?

So look for new items here, a lot more new items. In,,,,, a few weeks or so, give or take a week. I’m working on it! Tomorrow I’m off to bike week to take some cool videos of the bikes and babes. ;)

Too much leather conditioner on your leather jacket causes mildew

Don't put too much conditioner on your leather jacket!

I got a question a week ago that I thought would make a good post, so here it is! Someone asked that their leather jacket always seems to get mildew on it. They said the jacket always seems to have oil on it, no matter how much they hang it up to dry. They wanted to know how to stop it from getting mildew.

Well, it sounds like the leather jacket has too much conditioner on it. Or, the type of conditioner on it is thick and heavy and not the right type to use. Leather conditioner is nothing more than oil that you rub into your leather item. Some of them have several different ingredients mixed together.

The whole point of leather conditioner is to make the leather soft and prevent it from cracking. It also acts to make it water resistant. The oil protects the leather fibers, replacing the natural oils that were there when the animal was alive. However leather also has to breath and let moisture out.

Alligator hide leather boots from Tim’s Boots

I’ve never talked much about alligator hide leather on here. Most of the time when you think of alligator hide leather you think of boots. So today I”ll talk about a place called Tim’s Boots that has really nice alligator hide leather boots.

Tim”s Boots features a complete selection of cowboy boots, including the finest alligator boots. The company was founded by Tim Urling in 2002 and assures you the highest quality craftsmanship available.

It’s impossible not to feel proud and self confident when wearing something like this. Nothing displays your attitude more than your cowboy boots.

Make getting a quality leather jacket your new years resolution

Quality leather jackets

Now that it’s 2010 it’s time to make some new years resolutions that you can keep! One of those can be finally getting a quality leather jacket. Maybe you have a patchwork or bonded leather jacket. Or you have a faux leather jacket, or leather-like jacket. None of those compare with a nice, real, quality leather jacket.

A leather jacket made of pigskin, cowhide or buffalo will last for years. Getting a naked, top grain leather jacket is the best of the best. It does not have to cost much either. The ones I sell here are all top quality and they go for between $130.00 to a little over $200.00 in most cases. NONE are patchwork or bonded leather.

A quality leather jacket or leather motorcycle jacket with a zip out liner is warm for cold weather yet cool enough for most of the year. Almost all have YKK zippers, which are the best. Many also have nice leather braiding, beads, leather fringe and more, as well as plain ones.

They also have free shipping in the USA, always. I’m working on getting much more in here soon. ( I know, I’ve said that before!) So make this year the one you finally get a real, high quality leather jacket you can be proud of. Take a look at the ones I have and see if you like any. If not, shoot me a message and I’ll be glad to recommend other sites that have what your looking for. :)

Lambskin, sheepskin and goatskin leather fashion jackets

mens fashion leather jacketsladies fashion leather jackets

With the Christmas shopping season here many will be out buying a nice looking leather fashion jacket for their lady or man. I often talk about how cowhide and buffalo hide are best for leather motorcycle jackets. That’s true, but not when it comes to fashion leather jackets.

Getting a leather jacket or coat you just want to look good in is much different than getting a motorcycle leather jacket. You don’t care about it protecting you from road rash if you fall off your bike. You want a jacket that looks sharp, feels good and is soft.

So in that case you’ll be more happier with a leather jacket or coat made out of lambskin, sheepskin or goatskin. All of those have more of a fine leather grain that makes them look smoother and polished. It also makes the leather softer as the leather grain is not as thick and rough.

Out of all of them lambskin is the softest, if all have been processed the same way. It’s also the weakest leather. But if the leather jacket is just for showing off and making the chicks at the bar run their hands over it, it’s fine! Sheepskin and goatskin are stronger and about the same in strength.

Now cowhide and pigskin are still great for fashion leather jackets too. They split the hide thinner for those types of jackets and coats. So they also can be very soft and look great. I’m just letting you know that lambskin, sheepskin and goatskin are fine for fashion leather jackets. Happy shopping!

The Holidays, time for fake faux leather jackets

fake faux leather jackets

Well everyone, we are now in the Holiday season, or almost there. Along with the Holidays comes lots of bright, shiny new products the stores want you to buy. One of the top items you see at the Holidays is lots of fake, or faux leather jackets. Faux is French for fake, and most leather jackets not made of real leather are called faux leather jackets.

So if your wife or girlfriend, or your man if your a gal, is looking forward to a new genuine leather jacket, the last thing you want to do is get a faux leather jacket. Unless she or he does not mind cheap stuff! So with so many out there during the Holidays, how do you tell them apart from real leather jackets?

Well, any and all fake and faux leather jackets are suppose to SAY they are. Normally it says on the tag, or on a tab attached to the jacket that it’s a faux leather jacket, or just faux leather. However they can get sneaky and creative. Some will call it a leather-like jacket. Or maybe leatherette, synthetic leather, man made leather, even designer leather!

They all mean one thing; it’s a fake or faux leather jacket! A faux leather jacket often has a shine to it unlike real leather. It’s often also thinner than real leather, which is why faux leather jackets are so damn cold! Also many faux leather jackets are very smooth, without the leather grain pattern.

However many faux leather items are stamped with a machine that puts a fake leather grain pattern into the material. A real leather jacket should say somewhere on it that it’s made with genuine leather, or that it’s a genuine leather jacket. If it’s quality it should even say what type of hide the leather is, like cowhide or sheepskin.

If your shopping in a good quality leather store you don’t have to worry. They will not carry any faux leather jackets. But even high end department stores like Macy’s carry faux leather jackets, so be warned. Look for a tag that says if it’s a faux leather or genuine leather jacket. If your not sure, keep looking. Girls don’t like real genuine plastic faux leather jackets!!

Buying fall and winter leather coats & jackets for women

fall and winter leather coats and jackets for womenfall and winter leather coats and jackets for women

Now that fall is here and the weather is cooler, you might be thinking about buying your wife or girlfriend a nice leather coat or jacket. Or your a woman and wants to get one for herself. But you might be confused with all the different styles and colors there are out there. So here’s a few tips for you to get a quality women’s leather jacket or coat.

Many think that a leather jacket will not keep you very warm. That’s because of so many fake leather and junk leather coats out there today. I had a girl here in Florida that got a great looking leather jacket from a well known brand. But even here in Florida in the winter she would freeze with that on! A quality, real leather coat or jacket with a liner is very, very warm.

So first make sure it’s REAL leather. Most coats and jackets today are fake leather, leather-like, synthetic leather (which is fake leather) and so on. A real leather jacket will have a tag on it stating it’s made from real leather. A QUALITY leather jacket or coat will say what kind of leather it is, and maybe even the thickness.

Youtube video of celebrity babes wearing leather, even Britney Spears

Well every once in a while I like to show a cool youtube video of leather. Sometimes it’s one about how they make leather, or how they carve designs in leather. Today I thought I’d just have some fun and show a youtube video of hot celebrity babes in all kinds of leather. Leather jackets, leather skirts, leather shirts and lots more.

In fact it’s really interesting to see all the different types and colors of leather apparel these sexy celebrities wear. Just about every major celebrity girl seems to be in here, from Angela Jolie to Britney Spears. So kick back and have some fun by watching this youtube video of hot celebrities in sexy leather clothing. ;)

How to buy quality leather gloves and motorcycle gloves

leather motorcycle glovesleather motorcycle gloves

I’ve never had a post about leather gloves before on here. The reason is,,, well,,, there are so damn many different types of leather gloves out there! So it’s hard to really say just what you should look for or what to get. Leather gloves can be made of just about any type of leather hide, plus have many other fabrics and synthetic material in them.

They can be lined or unlined, stiff or soft, tough like iron or delicate to scratches, any color of the rainbow, with or without leather fringes or hardware and on and on. So it can be very confusing if your trying to find a quality pair of leather gloves. One thing I can tell you is, DON’T get “patchwork” leather gloves.

Those are the type that has many small pieces of leather sewn together to make the finished product. They are junk and you should not get any type of leather item made from patchwork leather, be it a leather jacket, vest, wallet or gloves. Now, there are three basic types of leather gloves, with variations in each class. The first is full finger leather gloves like in the pictures above.

Brown leather duster jacket with cape now in stock

mens brown leather duster jacket with cape

I recently got a comment from someone about where to find a good brown leather duster; others call them a jacket. Actually I have a whole range of quality leather jackets, dusters, vest, gloves, chaps and more in a nice brown color. The only reason I don’t have them in my store is I just never have the time to get around to it!

A brown leather jacket or duster looks really nice and stands out from the rest of the normal black leather jackets. They are treated a little different so there is no black dye in them, which is how black leather jackets get that color. Otherwise everything about them is the same as any other leather jacket or cape.

Above is the brown leather duster I carry and have in stock. It has a removable cape, zip out liner, inside leg straps and lots more you can see in the list below. It’s very rugged and will last a long time. I’ll add it to my leather jackets section soon, in the meantime you can order it right here using the “add to cart” button below. If your looking for a brown leather jacket or chaps, contact me and I’ll let you know what I have. As always everything is free shipping in the USA!

* Features a warm zip out lining
* Stand up collar
* Two very large outside pockets
* Double flap snap button opening
* Adjustable snap button cuffs
* Quality cowhide
* YKK zippers
* Removable snap button cape
* Inside leg straps to hold it in place while riding
* Split front and back bottom so you can ride your bike

Youtube video of girls in leather dresses

It’s been some time since I posted a youtube video of anything leather on here. So here’s one with some sexy girls modeling leather skirts and dresses. I’ll have to make a post sometime about how to pick a quality leather dress. You don’t find leather dresses too often, they are not as common as leather skirts and pants. The girls do a good job showing off the leather wear.

Leather dresses come in many different styles, shapes and colors. Most have zipper openings in the back but not all. As with all items leather you need to get the right size for a leather dress to look good on you. A little too big and they make you look dumpy, and no girl wants that! So check out this youtube video of girls in leather dresses.
