No longer are leather Biker jackets the remit of old, Hairy, slightly podgy, Hell’s Angels types, in fact I’d go as far to say nothing could be further from the true. The Biker Jacket has become a modern day classic in the contemporary man’s wardrobe and the idea that it’s to be worn in a James Dean styleee, on your bike teamed with a tee and Denim jeans is totally outdated. Take a look at some of the images of celebs wearing the classic jacket below. It’s a totally versatile piece thats as at home being dressed up with a formal shirt and tie, like Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor at the recent Mortdecai Premiere or Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. As it is being thrown on and worn in a casual manner like the magic Daniel Readcliffe, Kanye West or Mr David Beckham.
