There are some styles of leather jackets for men designed to be worn in the spring and fall. These lighter weight jackets are sometimes designed as fashion garments men can wear with a pair of dress pants or casual jeans. The fashion jackets are often referred to as leather blazers and are worn by men with a distinctive style for fashion.

Leather Blazers

The leather blazer jacket for men is often designed to look like a regular suit blazer. The fabric lies flat against the body because the lining is made using a very thin material. The bottom hem of this garment can be made with rounded edges like classic sport coats or with a square edge. The blazer will have a thin lapel rather than the wide styles often found on lather coats for men. The front of the jacket will use buttons as the method of closure rather than a zipper. This item can come with two to four pockets placed on the front.

The blazer styles of leather jackets for men are usually made using the smooth grain although there are a few styles created with suede. The suede styles have a more casual appearance, while the smooth grain leather has a trendier look. These jackets are placed in the category of casual to semi-formal wear, which means they can be worn for a business related social event.

Lightweight Jackets for Outdoor Wear

The lighter styles of jackets made with leather, which men can wear as their outdoor jacket, will be styles somewhat differently than the suit coat design. The bottom hem always has a squared edge and the pockets are also created in a square shape, with some having flaps with button or toggle closures. These jackets will usually have zippered fronts and a slightly warmer lining. The shoulder area can have stitching placed across the exterior surface to create a textured appearance to enhance the masculine style.

The lightweight leather jackets also come with a round band for the collar, which often has a snap closure. This neck band is found on the styles created as waist length jackets, which are often made using the supple smooth grain leather. The trendier styles of this jacket may have additional zippers placed on the front as accent items. These spring and fall jackets are available in several colours including the classic black and brown as well as some non-traditional shades of white and red.
