Meet the Champion of the Leather Jacket: Richard, 73

“I spent decades working desk jobs in the UK where crisp suits and sharp ties were the daily rule. But the second the weekend hit? The uniform changed completely. For me, life outside the office has always been about proper denim, clean trainers, and a great leather jacket.

You don’t need a luxury budget to look sharp. Most of my gear comes straight from the British high street—places like Marks & Spencer and Next. It’s about how you wear it, not how much you spend. My years on motorcycles taught me to appreciate the rugged utility of a proper jacket, and today, you’ll almost always find me in a classic bomber or a sharp cafe racer.

To anyone who claims leather jackets or contemporary high-street trends are only meant for twenty-somethings, I say: stuff it. If you have the confidence and the frame to carry it off, never be afraid to wear what makes you feel unstoppable. Age doesn’t dictate style. Attitude does.”
