70s Leather Jackets
Filed under 70's Clothes Fashion Finds, 70s clothesLeather jackets are always a favorite. Among vintage clothing fans, 70's leather jackets are a real find. Not just any old jacket will do. It seems that the most popular brands (when I've looked) are East West jackets and North Beach jackets, but it is hard to characterize what exactly will catch the bidders eye. There are a wide variety of styles that sell well online.
Older leather jackets sometimes show some wear after a bit of time. You might consider this adding "character" to it, or you might just want to help prevent it. The video at the bottom of this post will give you some ideas about what you can do to keep the old leather fresh.
Leather bomber jackets are bid on quite a bit, but so are biker jackets and fashions featuring fringes in shrunken down sizes for ladies. If you are more into funkier fashions, there are jackets that combine leather and fur as well as styles appearing in a rainbow of colors. Be sure to check out all of the photos because some of these older jackets also feature appliques on the back that you might want to know about.
Remember that when you buy vintage clothing, you should not just go by the tagged size. Our society has sort of "supersized" itself, so those old tags don't always match up to today's sizes. Check to see if the jacket or coat you are looking at has actual measurements listed and then always compare them to something that you know fits before placing a bid or clicking "buy it now".
You can usually find some pretty cheap prices on leather jackets compared to what new ones cost and these vintage ones have often been taken care of very well by their original owners. People like the vintage styles a lot, but the fact that they are less expensive than brand new coats can be a real bonus today. If you don't see what you are looking for at first click, you can always get more specific in your search by adding terms like "racer" or "biker" to the search. Here are a few of the results for "70's leather jacket" that are available right now.

Thanks for the writeup about vintage leather jackets. I actually love wearing one that was passed down to me by my Dad when he “outgrew” it. It looks pretty cool if I do say so myself. These vintage jackets are timeless. I love them.
