When Alpha puts on a great fitted leather jacket, he gets weak in the knees and feels like a rock star! It’s magical and transformational. In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro discusses where to find great leather jackets this season so you, too, can look like a ‘stud-muffin’.
Per Wear Cost
If you buy the leather jacket right, you can wear it for years. The higher the quality, however, the higher the price. For Alpha, it comes down to a ‘per wear cost’. You can wear a leather jacket daily and for years! So, how many years can you wear it before retiring it?
Synthetic Leather
Options are also out there for those who don’t want to wear leather. Synthetic leather looks like leather and can also smell like leather– and can be super affordable.
Alpha’s Leather Jacket Buying Tips
Recently, Alpha got this black leather jacket to go along with his black Chelsea boots. He has some tips for you: (1) Stick with brown or black for your leather jacket. Steer clear of funky colors since you’ll only get one season of wear, and a leather jacket is too expensive for one season of wear. (2) Size down with the leather jackets as they stretch. Just like leather shoes, they break-in after a few wears and get roomier. (3) Basic, plain, and simple designs are recommended for the long-run rather than funky colors, designs, and styling.
