Lightning Archives: Leather Jackets is a definitive reference for vintage leather jacket enthusiasts, documenting the craft, culture and enduring style of leather outerwear. Reissued as part of the celebrated Lightning Archives series, this revised edition preserves the spirit of the 2014 original while introducing the subject to a new generation of readers.
Focusing on leather jackets from the 1930s through to the 1970s, the book traces their evolution from rugged protective gear to icons of rebellion, craftsmanship and fashion. With contributions from respected collectors and vintage clothing shops, it features over 300 rare and historically significant pieces, organised by decade to give a clear view of how design, function and style developed over time.
