Pebble Grain
Before shopping for a leather jacket, just like most people, you’d also probably search the internet for tips on how to buy the right motorcycle jacket. And you’ll be amazed at how with one click, you’ll get flooded with thousand of articles that talk about buying tips for motorcycle jackets.
This article will not focus on telling you to get a jacket that’s comfortable, that fits right, or that is made of durable material or genuine leather. Instead, this article seeks to equip you with the knowledge about the different types of leather so that you can make an informed decision the next time you go out and shop for a motorcycle leather jacket or for any other type of leather jacket and that you don’t get fooled by fake leather posing as authentic.
The first type of leather we often see is the Goatskin. This kind of leather is a good all-around leather. You can use this leather to wear as a dressy or casual jacket. It is also good to wear it as a working jacket because it is durable enough. In fact, many military jackets are made from this type of leather. Also, it is lighter in weight compared to cowhide leather and has a nice feel of pebble grain on its texture.
Another type of leather is lambskin which is one of the softest kinds of leather. However it has less tear resistance compared with goatskin, cowhide or horsehide and are often used for fashion leather jackets. If you want to have a spare leather jacket that you can use in social gatherings, one that looks good but need not be too tough because you’ll just be merry-making, the lambskin is the way to go.
The cowhide leather meanwhile is popular for being a very tough type of leather. Most motorcycle jackets are made from cowhide and it’s no wonder why. It is very strong and heavy and can really protect a rider from abrasion in case of crashes. But it’s also supple and comfortable to wear. When looking for a motorcycle jacket, it is a good idea to examine the leather carefully to check its sturdiness. Better yet, rely on brands that guarantee authentic cowhide leather.
The sheepskin is also a popular type of leather jackets that are also strong and are known to be able to keep the wearer warm at high or low altitude. While the horsehide is the jacket to go if you prefer some rugged durability. It weighs a little heavier than goatskin but it’s also good to go as a jacket you can wear anytime.
There are many types of leather. Some are known to be strong and tough, others are flexible, others are soft. By knowing which leather is which, it will be easier for you to know which leather to look for when shopping for motorcycle jackets or any other type of clothing.
