Black jeans, a white tee and a leather biker jacket are three items literally everyone should have in their wardrobe. They don’t go out of style. They’re comfy, and extremely versatile. In fact, a true minimalist wouldn’t need much more in their wardrobe at all.

A capsule wardrobe represents the core essential pieces you’ll wear over and over. They’re the pieces that can be mixed and matched with everything else, and the ones you’ll likely wear out from repeated use before you’ll ever have the desire to replace them.

An eternal icon of rebellious style, a genuine leather motto jacket is a wardrobe staple for both his and hers. While admittedly owning more than a couple in my loosely translated “capsule wardrobe”, somehow I always find room for one more. Changing it up this season, I’ve received a new, oversized leather jacket courtesy of Leather Jacket 4.

Leather Jacket 4 is is an online retailer that originated out of Florida, producing hand made leather jackets to the US market at affordable prices. They have since expanded to Australia, UK, Canada, Europe and Japanese markets offering free international shipping for their growing market. You might not know it from your first visit to their site, but their line is crafted with high quality lambskin giving them a soft, buttery tactile experience that is both luxurious and breathable.

For this review, I selected the “Harley” biker jacket from their men’s collection for a “stolen from his” oversized look. Oversized outerwear is great not only because it makes the pieces extremely comfortable, but it also allows you to layer them over thicker winter pieces like heavy knitwear and sweaters.

Following 2019 fashion trends for fall and winter, I wanted the style statement to be focused on the oversized, relaxed luxury. I chose an iconic silhouette that translates well into all looks for the season.

The Harley jacket features iconic notched lapels, shoulder epaulets and silver hardware. The asymmetrical zippered pockets give it an even more rebellious flair. The interior is full lined, and the lambskin is truly luxury to touch. For this look, I’ve paired the leather jacket with a satin mini dress for a night-out look that truly looks borrowed from him.

You know that comfy feeling when you went out all sexy, got cold and stole his jacket? Yeah, now I get that without the guy. Even better? My guy can actually borrow from my wardrobe now too.

Leather jackets can be a big investment, and many pieces retail over several hundred dollars. While that may seem too high a price to pay, always consider your price-per-wear as the ultimate tell of value in a capsule wardrobe.

You don’t need to re-buy fashion pieces season over season if you invest in high quality, essential items that you’ll be able to wear for years. A leather jacket is certainly one of them.

Lucky for you, you can snag this and many other genuine leather styles from Leather Jacket 4 for right around $200 or less. Living on the east coast, we have about 7 months of jacket weather, more if you include intermittent rainy days in the late spring.

That’s 210 days a year you could potentially wear a jacket. And you’ll be able to wear it for years and years if you select a style that’s iconic and classic enough for everyday wear. Consider that over your next $25 discounted dress you bought that you might wear once or twice before shoving it to the back corner of your wardrobe.

Luxury fashion doesn’t always have to come at a price. By understanding the principals of a minimalist capsule wardrobe, you’ll be able to enjoy investing in the best luxury fashion pieces that you’ll wear over and over, while saving on the impulse buys that you may never wear.

Leather Jacket 4 is a great middle ground if you’ll looking to invest in your first luxury quality, genuine leather jacket without stressing your budget. If you’re anything like me, this is a piece you’ll definitely get your wear out of to make it worth it in the end.

You’ll find men’s styles like the one I chose for this Leather Jacket 4 review, as well as dozens of styles for women ranging from leather blazers to classic leather biker jackets, crop leather jackets, leather trench coats, bombers, and hooded styles with fur lining.

If you’re pursuing a capsule wardrobe investment, I recommend opting for classic black that will be the most versatile for repeated wear. Or, if you’re looking for something to mix up your wardrobe, Leather Jacket 4 also offers a range of pop colors like blue, grey and reds.

Personally eying the black leather trench and the Tom-Hardy shearling bomber jackets for next grabs…  I’ve linked them in case you’d like to check them out, or you can shop all of their leather biker jackets here!
