| Blade, Terminator, Top Gun had heroes clad in leather jackets. The 'frockcoat' is a men's knee length coat prevalent in the 19th century. Before the film, The Street With No Name (1948), leather jackets were associated with kids. After the film, leather jackets have come to symbolize the essential gear of a tough guy. The sale of black leather jackets soared after the release of the film The Wild One in 1953 starring Marlon Brando. |
