Black Leather Monster - Plasmatics

Beware the monster! It feeds on flesh and is clad in rugged-yet-soft Napa leather with a generous padded lining.

Punk metal from the days when the leather jacket was a symbol of youthful rebellion and not a way to identify men who spend whole weekends in D.I.Y superstores.

I've calculated that every third person in Britain owns a bad leather jacket and I'm putting together a coffee table book of bad leather jacket photography...

300 glossy pages, 850 colour photographs. 600 shades of tan, brown, grey and rust red. It's not a fashion statement or a status symbol, it's a bad leather jacket.

The Golden Age of Leather - Blue Öyster Cult

Sling on your charcoal-coloured fake python skin nehru bomber with the red quilted lining and elasticated, knitted cuffs. Un-sheath your heavy metal sword and do battle with the hard rocking cult that worships blue shellfish.

The true Golden Age of the bad leather jacket was the early 1990s when the dying days of the mottled taupe bomber with padded shoulders crossed over with the inexorable Rise of the speckled tan blouson bomber with the silky ancient-map-of-the-world lining.

Ladies' styles in soft Italian goatskin with batwing fringes. Durable, distressed cowhide for the rugged look. Soft buttery leather for the fashion conscious.

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.

Also Starring Klaus Maria Brandauer
