Few Items Are As Timeless As The Leather Jacket.

It is not simply a jacket but the embodiment of strength, defiance, ruggedness, and personality through each era. At Oldewest, we honor the timeless value of the leather jacket with each cut, each layer of leather carefully selected, because we understand each leather jacket has its own history.

Let’s follow Oldewest's epic journey of the leather jacket—from the cold trenches to the modern fashion runway.

1. Origin—From the Arena to the Battlefield

• The leather jacket has ancient origins, used by nomads and ancient warriors to keep warm, protect against the wind, and protect the body.

• By the early 20th century, the leather jacket officially entered the military, becoming the standard outfit of pilots in World War I.

• Bomber jackets, thick with fur collars and durable leather, followed American soldiers flying over the cold skies of Europe.

Oldest Fact: Some classic leather pilot jackets are still an endless source of design inspiration today.

2. The 50s — When Resistance Became Fashion

• After the war, leather jackets "landed" in civilian life, associated with the rebellious culture of American youth.

• The image of Marlon Brando in the movie The Wild One (1953) with a studded leather jacket became a symbol of individualism and disobedience.

• Leather jackets became the typical outfit of bikers, rockers, punks—people who went against conventional convention.

Old West Style: Every scratch on the jacket is a mark of freedom and bravery.

3. The 80s–90s — When Leather Jackets Hit the Runway

• Leather jackets gradually gained attention from high fashion. Fashion houses like Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, and Jean Paul Gaultier began to transform leather jackets on the runway.

• From sharp office style to dusty streetwear, leather jackets began to “invade” every fashionista’s wardrobe.

• Music genres like rock, metal, and hip-hop continued to push leather jackets to become musical symbols and artistic personalities.
