Product Description
Product Description
Ever since Marlon Brando slouched across the screen wearing a black leather jacket in The Wild One, the mixture of animal magnetism and sexual aberration which the leather jacket manages to convey has ensured it a best-selling place in the catalogue of cool. Using more than a hundred evocative photographs, The Black Leather Jacket traces its popularity through the Hells Angels of the forties; the beats of the fifties; the counter-culture of the sixties; the sexual excesses of the seventies; the punk explosion, begun by the Sex Pistols, the Ramones and the Clash; the heavy metal and rock groups of the eighties; to the present day, where the black leather jacket is a potent part of 21st century consciousness.

Format:Paperback
Marlon Brando, James Dean, Alvin Stardust, Lemmy from Motorhead. And as Lemmy himself said, "You put one on, and that's it, you're bad."
This book tracks the history of that bad but instantly rebel look of the black leather jacket, from those mentioned above to bondage and fetish gear where the fragrance is also a factor in the equation.
Channel 4 TV later made a documentary to accompany this book, with 'Easy Rider' Dennis Hopper narrating. It was also released on VHS, but now long-deleted, so a DVD would be welcomed. Meanwhile, enjoy this lavishily illustrated and superbly written book on a most unusual subject.
