Leather jackets, once reserved for the cool, ostensibly “bad” kids who chose to sit in the back of their high school classrooms, have gotten a re-brand.

Thankfully, it’s 2017, we live in a wonderful, pluralistic world (although it may not seem it sometimes) and fashion is more democratic than ever. Just because you hold firm principles or stick to a strict outerwear budget doesn’t mean you have to wear a jacket that’s flimsy and depressingly ill-fitting or (cringe) makes an awful creaking noise when you move.
