How to dress like a biker

Like the cowboy, the mean biker is another spirit of america, and like the cowboy, it has a certain way it dresses,



The first and most important feature of the american biker is the black leather jacket













This jacket as seen in many films, is the distinctive biker jacket,
















notice above, that on the sides under the armpits are strings, designed to adjust the width and roomy space in the jacket, more or less for weight fluctuation.


next is the black jeans















Black jeans are most commonly worn by bikers, other legging garments include

Black leather pants
















Bikers wear leather pants for it's protective qualities, such as if you were to fall of a bike, and slide on the pavement, leather pants would protect you more then jeans. The trade off is that leather tend's to overheat, and get uncomfortable.

Biker Boots

Biker boots really fall between two different boots, the harness boot, and the engineer boot,

Harness boots















The harness boot was designed with a flat toe, the reason for this was so when bikers put there foot down to skid or break, the toe of there boot wouldn't snap off like it did with round toe boots

The engineer boots













These boots are very popular for its look, i honestly don't know how they hold up as a riding boot.

The sunglasses

im just going to say it, the glasses from terminator 2 ( "Ratti" from Persol model 58230 ) are probably the greatest pair of biker sunglasses i have ever seen, so im just going to put them here.











Nice sunglasses,

Finally there is the bandanna















This is one thing i noticed bikers and cowboys have in common, they both wear or use bandanna's,


Well, that's all i can think of, have fun!
