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.

From the breathtaking body decorations of native Americans to the oppressive austerity of their Puritan contemporaries' clothing, from the propriety of Victorian garb to free-and-easy Flappers elegance and the body-beautiful 1980s, this book looks at subjects such as the impact of Levi's riveted denim jeans, the drives for dress reform and the role of clothing in establishing and maintaining distinctions of class, race, age and gender.
