From a long time, the skin personified power, strength and freedom. Our ancient ancestors were even confident that wearing the skins of the dead animals helps to gain their strength and power. Later, the military - one of the most bold representatives of humanity - they realized that there was nothing more convenient and practical than the leather jacket. So this religious thing first firmly settled in the male wardrobe, and then smoothly moved to female. After all, the ladies also sometimes want to add a bold note to your image.
People began to use the skin for making clothes, as soon as they learned to hunt. After all, what can be easier and more logical than to adapt to the household of the carcass of the killed beast? Do not disappear good, in fact! In addition, this material is distinguished by many useful qualities: it is durable, protects against water and fire, is durable and well kept warm - an excellent option for the first robes of ancient people. And no wonder that many thousands of years have not forgotten about the skin: vests, raincoats and capes from it invariably remain popular, only slightly changing their appearance in accordance with fashion trends.
Thus, the jacket immediately became the attribute of courageous conquerors and hunters, but the story is not standing on the spot, and the hunting over time has retrained from the essentials of the hobby. But other unequivocally aggressive classes appeared that they demanded special equipment, and the skin here turned out to be as impossible. Now we are talking about wars, because it is among the militaristic form that it is worth looking for the most accurate prototype of modern leather. They had the heroes of the First World War, however, these were not short models to the belt, but more elongated, almost brinked. During the Second World War, the German military was especially loved, he began to be perceived as a symbol of power. Double-breasted uniform was a favorite shape of Hitler himself and members of the Histest Echelons of the Gestapo.

Curious fact - the famous koshuhi has even official birthday. According to the book, Mika Farrene "Black Leather Jacket", it was created in 1928. This happened thanks to the Partnership of Beck Industries, Motorcycle Distributor Harley-Davidson, and Businessman Irving Schotta. It is known that Beck asked Schotta to develop a model that could withstand extreme weather conditions and did not rush even after accidents. The resulting thing Schott called Perfecto, thus perpetuating the brand of his favorite cigarettes. It was originally sold in the Motorcycle dealership on Long Island and cost only five and a half dollars. This model was immediately loved by bikers, and then all those who wanted to emphasize their steepness in ordinary life.
Until then, there was no ideal clothing for motorcyclists. Woolen jackets did not save Extreme lovers from wind and rain, and in the leather coat it was impossible to sit on the bike. In addition, during the movement of the pockets, it was trite everything falls out, because the zippers did not come up immediately. Massly used them became precisely at the Schotta factory in 1925, so they became the main decorative and functional element of the new-fashioned koshuhi.
So what is a roof and how it stands out among other models? So called short motorcycle jackets with long oblique lightning, coming from the left hip to the right shoulder. Thanks to this, the chest appears in the chest of two leather layers, and the wind ceases to blow through the fastener. Other characteristic features of the koshuhi - pocket on the chest, in which it is convenient to hold a card, a postponed collar, folds on the back and under mouses for freedom of movements and narrow sleeves with lightning.
Kuratu, perhaps, would be only the motorcyclists, if it were not for the film "Sky", in which Marlon Brando in the image of the Biker gang leader travels in the Perfecto jacket. Two years later, James Din joins him, which seems to not part with the crucible. After that, the sale of products from Schott took off to heaven literally during days. As a result, it was even forbidden to wear in schools. And in the seventies, it became a mandatory element of the image of Pankov like Sex Pistols and Ramones.

The Great Elvis Presley also often wore koshuhi. In 1968, he decided to fully fit into the skin for a performance on TV, and the designer Bill Lauvea, who created the famous costume, came up with raising the jacket collar. As a result, it became the signature sign of the King Rock and Roll, to which he very often resorted.
During World War II, the Schott company The United States government attracted to the development of aircraft for aviation. So
The famous bomber appeared. The aircraft were then equipped with an open cabin that did not protect either from the wind, no precipitation, nor from extremely low temperatures overboard, - naturally, the pilots were very frozley, and they needed a special form. From durable and cheap artificial materials, unfortunately, I had to refuse, as they are easily ignited. But the sheep skin approached perfectly. Jackets love not only pilots, but also the most ordinary people. Avenue Clerk Oristov, who often wore this practical thing, and, of course, Tom Cruise, who had fallen in Kozhanka in the film "The best arrows".

Girl with character
In the forties, Schott first began to produce roots for women. True, the ladies were not immediately allowed to wear leather jackets. Despite the convenience, they came little to the familiar female image. Agree, grace and elegance are not particularly consistent with a rough male jacket. But after the release of the same film "Skar" with the famous Marlon Brando, the wave was no longer stopped. The wardrobe of many women began to appear leather jackets, similar to men. To emphasize the figure, the ladies walked on a small trick and gently embarrass them in the waist.
Over time, combining the style of a female coat and male jacket, designers have created an option for women. All actively began to wear koshuhi. And those who could not afford to acquire a model from natural material were content with leatherette. By the way, it was this that made it possible to tailoring products of bright colors: turquoise, cherry, blue, blue, yellow ...
Today, the leather jacket is still associated with strength and speed, with courageity and even aggressiveness. What, however, not alien and girls. From the point of view of style, this is a completely indispensable thing that combines both jeans, trousers and stretched Mike and with feminine flying dresses in the flower. You can find both classic koshuhs that have long received the status of "unisex" and elegant jackets that cannot be imagined on wide male shoulders.
Koshuhi never came out of fashion, but often designers offer us their modern interpretations and erase the boundaries between the styles. You can even see photos of celebrities in a carelessly thrown jacket over a classic jacket. Although in ordinary life it is better to do without so sophisticated combinations and wear a blindfold with something more appropriate: jeans, shirts, turtlenecks, or just a white round-neck T-shirt in James Dina. But with the leather pants, the crucial to wear contraindicated, if, of course, you do not move on "Harlese".

Brown jacket is the perfect option for those who are afraid to wear black. Colored koshuhi, too, sometimes look very stylish, we advise special attention to turn on the models of grayish shades. And with other colors, you should contact carefully, otherwise your image risks to become too fried and old-fashioned. The main thing, do not forget that the leather is an extremely bright detail of the image, additional accessories for it. Therefore, scarves and decorations are better not to wear. And the jacket itself is the easier - the more effect. Models with a lot of lightning, rivets and a variety of fasteners it is better to leave bikers, in ordinary life they look ridiculous.
Now such things are actively worn by representatives of both sexes. Women learned to inscribe a jacket even in a business wardrobe, elegantly combining her with a strict pencil skirt or classic black pants. And bold girls who love to stand out from the crowd, rightly refer to the bold crucile with their favorite garment. Well, do not forget that autumn comes, so it's time to get a model with a fur collar. So no wind will not be terrible.
