A very sexy vintage black leather biker jacket from Express

This Express biker-style black leather jacket, which appears to be vintage, sold for a respectable $39.99.  The jacket was listed as a size M/L and the seller said it was only worn once.

The details in this jacket are amazing - the asymmetrical zipper pull, which is very popular right now, really sets the tone for the style of this jacket.  Then there's the rare zipper placement on the chest and shoulder.  The lower back is accented with two more zippers and six metal Express tags.  Finally, the epaulets are decorated with triangular metal studs.  I might also add that it looks great zipped up and unzipped and creates two very different looks, especially with the collar turned up.

I might have bid on this sexy jacket if I'd been more sure about the size.  I could definitely see wearing it with skinny jeans and boots on date nights!

More great vintage leather pant suits

eBay seller "newlookvintage" recently listed several vintage 1980s leather items and did very well in fetching some nice prices for some unusual leather pieces. This post will focus on leather pant suits!

This racer style black leather suit by Nigel Wearing sold for $127.50.  Although I'm not a fan of the bronze detailing, I really like the belted, elasticized waist and high collar. This size medium outfit is just the right blend of biker chic combined with sleek high-tech lines.




Although I've never been a fan of silver leather, this nice Lillie Rubin pant suit sold for a nice round $100.00.  For as much as the suit itself looks like cruise wear, I really like the style of the jacket, especially the double-breasted styling, padded shoulders and the high collar.  I also like the high-waist styling of the pants.  I'd definitely snap up this piece if it became available in black leather!
