New NYC-based brand Vacation just launched its leather jacket.
By Christine Flammia, Esquire
From Marlon Brando to Zayn Malik, well-dressed dudes have always understood the power of a good leather jacket. A classic motorcycle jacket—timeless in both shape and texture—is a cool addition to any type of outfit. But new Brooklyn-based brand Vacation thought the quality of the jacket could still get better. So this week, the brand launched its own.
[post_ads]Vacation's jacket is handcut and sewn with horween chromexcel cowhide, a durable, vegetable-tanned leather. Both the black and reddish-brown colors retail for $1,100, and are available online now at vacation-nyc.com. The inside is lined with silk twill, so it feels super soft when you're wearing it, and the waxy finish develops a great worn-in look over time.
Vacation might be onto something: The key to a lasting leather jacket is all in that fabric makeup. There's a reason a leather jacket is so personal—true leather breaks in the way someone wears it. The result? Even the same leather jacket looks different on different people. Real leather (versus a synthetic fabric) is actually breathable, so it's perfect for spring and summer nights. Pair yours with any wash jeans and your favorite spring boots for every nighttime outing this spring.
