What kind of leather jacket? There are different types, you know. I don't think leather jackets have ever gone out of style. It's just that the decent ones cost a fair amount of dough. A Harley Davidson jacket will run in the hundreds of dollars. A GAP one will cost you at least $150. The cheapest I've seen are the jackets in the Sears catalogue that go for $100. They do the job in giving you a good look. The more "formal" leather jackets (I think they're lamb-skin, actually) are waaaay out of my price range. The cheapest ones are from Perry Ellis and those are $500 on sale! Calvin Klein ones are, like, $800-$1000, and forget about Armani and Versace.

Wow,you're kidding me. $1,000 dollars?   :o  Now,that's what I call a leather jacket. ;D The cheapest for me is between $100-200 dollar range.thing is,I go to work in the city and everywhere I go,I've seen Brown,Black and Blue leather jackets.And the smell of one is really amazing.I have one that smells of real leather but the zipper broke.  :( Has anyone ever wore a white-T shirt to wear with your jacket? ;D

It's mainly the name you're paying for when you buy CK, DKNY, and Armani. Most can afford a decent one. For everyday wear, I wouldn't pay more than $200 for one at the GAP. You can also go to Old Navy and get one for $150. Basically the same jacket.

Well, yeah. You have to wear a shirt with a leather jacket. Unless you're the type who likes to pose shirtless and with a leather jacket, but I think that attracts the wrong crowd (if you get what I mean ;) ).

I have a black leather jacket that my stepfather gave me for Christmas 2 years ago. Before that, in the last century, I had a motorcycle jacket :) :D ;D I rather liked it even if I didn't have a cruising bike (unless you count my friend's lowrider bike :P ). Plus, I was a metalhead reject in my early years of HS (I loved it!). "Motorhead" in big, Old English letters on the back. Your little brothers better watch out! I can beat up the old and the weak! Pathetically funny. Think of Fez (from That 70s Show) in Guns 'N Roses drag!

and what about that slick hair that they used to wear during the 50's? You think that you'd would be able to get a woman in this day in age with a dippity-do hairstyle? Who knows.They'll probably say"you live in a time warp"or something.I don't think chicks these days go for that kind of style.  ???

"Slick" hair is still okay, but I assume you mean the Pompadour. And, yes, it doesn't land you many girls. I should know... I have one. I go to the barber shop and only have the sides of my hair cut and the back is "blocked." No fades. The top is long. I wear gel sometimes, but hair-grease and pomade work best. I try not to use too much too often since it can give you dandruff, so you have to be careful with hair products. Sometimes you have to walk around without anything and your hair is all "poofy" (if you happen to have hair with "body," like me).

So, yes, I can do Fonzie-like drag. Black leather jacket, white T-shirt, black jeans with thick buckle-belt, leather boots, and a Pompadour to top it off. I'm exactly 5'4". The Pompadour makes me 5'6"!

Girls around here don't dig that kind of stuff, so I definitely do this 'cause I like it 8)

Hey Tarzan,I've been styling my hair like a pompadour for 15 years now here and there.When I get out of the shower,I spray it like crazy and when I get up in the morning,there is nothing much to comb anyway cause it's still neat from the night before.That's how I like my hair.nice and stiffy 8)

I like the leather jacket look but I also love girls' fur coats/jackets that I'm seein a lot....or at least was in the winter.  Most of them are pretty dam expensive though!!!

;DMy sister and my cousin both wore black leather jackets to my cousin's wedding.You have to be careful if you like fur,though.If it's made in China it might be cat or dog.On a news show,a woman had a comparative DNA test done on a fur cat she had with her own (live)cat.The DNA was a match.Cheers!

I can see more and more people wear leather jackets because it keeps you cool and makes you feel good.It's not really the warmest but it sure helps. :D

You don't have the right leather jacket then ;)  One of mine's faux fur and quilt lined and it's warmer than my ski parka.

I've seen fake leather ones around that cost a lot less- you know, ones made of PVC- most of 'em are pretty convincing, I've been thinking of getting one myself... Plus, you don't feel guilty for the animals when you wear them. :)

You said yours wasn't the warmest.  I was just suggesting that you can get some that are very warm :)

My Mother said some leather jackets I wore wasn't that warm because black lj are really supposed to be for when the temps are in the upper 30-low 40's kinda cool springlike morning temps.I'd wear my heaviest coat during the December-January months. :D
