The leather jacket is a very important piece of clothing that cannot be missing from the wardrobe of all people, both women and men, both young and old. Before going into the details of what leather is, where it comes from, how it is worked and packaged, let’s talk about the infinite styles of leather jackets that are present on the market and that adapt to every personality. The main types are: The Bomber, the “Perfecto” Leather Jacket, the Biker Jacket (Biker for men and Racer in the Women’s version), the Blazer, the Vintage Jacket, the Trench Jacket, the Suede or Nubuck Jacket, Leather jackets with Special Textures, Colored Leather Jackets, Penny Lane Leather Jackets. Let’s analyze the various types of Leather Jacket one at a time so that each of you can choose the model that best suits your personality and your look.
It derives directly from the “Flyng jaket” the piece of clothing worn by the launchers at the beginning of the 1900s and takes its name from an American aircraft, normally this leather jacket was brown with a fur collar and internal padding. It is a sportswear item, it should be worn “soft” in order to have total freedom of movement. These are some models from our exclusive Julia Art collection that reflect this type of leather jacket:
Designed and patented in 1913 in New York by Irvin Schott and his brother Jack, the name derives from the torpedo shape of the “Perfecto Garcia” brand cigars that Irvin Schott used to smoke. This jacket is strictly in semi-gloss black leather, has a medium-sized collar, visible diagonal zip, waist belt, zip pocket, pocket with automatic button, two studs on the collar and shoulder pads. We bring you some models from our Julia Art Collection inspired by this fantastic leather jacket:
A timeless emblem of rebellion, freedom and style. Invented in 1928 in New York by the Schott brothers as a resistant and protective garment for motorcyclists. This leather jacket had the peak of its popularity in the 50s when it was worn by Marlon Brando in the film “The Wild One”. The characteristics of this Leather Jacket are the shiny black color, the thick leather, the visible diagonal zip, the medium-sized collar with button, waist belt, shoulder pads and pockets with zips and studs. Subsequently, in the 70s this iconic leather garment had another evolution being adopted as a reference item by some Rock bands and a symbol of rebellion by the Punck youth movements, in this period the leather jacket became more “aggressive” adopting a high number of metal studs. Below we report some models of the Julia Art Collection that are inspired by this extraordinary leather garment:
Biker in the men’s version and Recer in the women’s version. This versatile piece of clothing has found its role among the Bikers, the American motorcycle gangs, becoming the distinctive uniform of Harley Davidson and becoming very popular among motorcyclists. The characteristics of abrasion resistance, protection from the cold and the possibility of movement due to the softness of the leather have made the leather biker jacket an ideal piece of clothing for this specific use. Below we report some examples from the Julia Art collection of these wonderful Biker jackets:
Another form of the leather jacket is the Blazer, a comfortable leather garment with ancient origins, its appearance dates back to 1873 with the name of Navy Blazer from the Frigate Blazer of the British Royal Navy. This leather uniform was worn for the first time by the crew on the occasion of the visit of Queen Victoria and was so successful that the Queen decreed that the leather jacket was to be worn by all crews of the Royal Navy. Over the years and with the mastery of many designers, the Blazer became a leather garment of global importance and appeared on all the Haute Couture catwalks and became part of the luxury clothing items. Below, we report some of our most luxurious models, part of the Julia Art leather collection:
The models of historical leather jackets, still have a timeless charm and are very much in demand, some fashion houses, such as Julia Art, re-propose these wonderful leather garments, using leathers treated with Vintage Finishes. The result is truly surprising, we report some of these models extracted from the Julia Art Leather Jackets collection:
In the elongated form, the leather jacket takes the name of Trench, both for the male and female version, it is certainly a less sporty but more classic and elegant leather garment, often finished with a fur collar and cuffs, certainly a jacket that expresses a contemporary and urban look, very suitable for the autumn seasons. We present some models of the Julia Art leather jacket collection:
These types of Leather Jackets are similar, the difference is in the type of leather processing, Suede is obtained by processing the external part of the leather (The Flower), while Nubuck is obtained by working the internal part of the leather (The Crust). These types of Jackets are widely used as informal and sporty garments in the mid-seasons. We present some types of jackets with this type of processing taken from the Julia Leather Jackets collection:

Very fashionable between the late 60s and the 70s, it consists of an elongated and comfortable jacket in size, usually finished with a fur collar and cuffs. A very elegant and trendy coat. Here are some examples of these Jackets present in the Julia Art Collection:
In addition to the standard models of leather jackets, there are a multitude of variations, developed by various Fashion Houses and manufacturing companies, therefore, each person can choose the leather jacket that best suits their tastes and personality. The Giulia Art Leather Jackets Collection, a renowned brand in the Luxury Products sector, offers a wide range of high-quality leather jackets with exclusive models, in addition, oversized sizes are available in several examples.
Wanting to be pragmatic and therefore give practical and quick advice, we can tell you that it is very difficult to understand if a leather jacket has been tanned with Vegetable Tannins and therefore classified with the name of Eco-leather, or if it has been tanned with Chrome, which is a highly polluting system. Here comes into play the trust that is established between the customer and the supplier, but often, even the retailer (store) is not aware of these details. What we can guarantee is that Julia Art, has been dealing with the wholesale sale of leather for three generations (on our website you can also find the Eco-leather Collection for the production of upholstery and for the Ho.Re.Ca. sector). The leather we use for the packaging of the Jackets is produced in Italy, a leading European country with 70% of the production of quality leather. Our leathers are of First Quality derived from animals used for the food chain, the part of the leather we use is “The Flower” that is, the external part of the leather, except in cases where we specify Nubuck which is the internal part of the leather called “Crosta”. It is easier to understand if the Jacket has been made with Real Leather or with Faux Leather (imitation leather) which is in fact plastic. In my opinion, the two things are not even comparable because they are two completely different things, our product comes from a high quality manufacturing with the use of natural products and artisanal processes with the insertion of accessories, such as zippers, buttons and quality linings, without taking into account the study and design of the models of the Leather Jackets, the Faux Leather Jacket is a sheet of plastic, printed and worked with a machine with the use of poor quality and highly polluting materials, sold to the end customer for 20 Euros. The difference between the two products is easily identifiable, just look at the surface appearance of the jacket, the Natural Leather is uneven, it has the mapping and the streaks that change continuously with some darker parts and others lighter, vice versa the jacket in Imitation Leather has a uniform surface, with mappings that repeat themselves the same one after the other, another thing is the difference to the touch, the Natural Leather gives a warm and soft sensation, while the jacket in Imitation Leather is cold and rigid.
