What's cooler than a leather jacket? James Dean in a convertible? Steve McQueen on a motorcycle? Iced tea with "dry ice" cubes? Hardly. A leather jacket holds the unique distinction of retaining its cool, even as times, styles, and icons change. At 6 Avenue Tailor in New York City, the superior tailors craft fully customizable, made-to-order leather jackets to suit any taste.

As a one-stop shop for tailoring, alterations, and leather repair, 6 Avenue Tailor uses high-quality leathers from around the world to deliver the best pieces. Whether it's a bomber jacket or a biker jacket, check out these three reasons why every closet deserves a leather jacket from 6 Avenue Tailor.

• The Retro Factor: There are a lot of trends that fall in and out of style, like Jean shapes and color palettes. A leather jacket, on the other hand, never waits to be fashionable. As time passes, it only takes on new life with the coveted distinction of "retro."
• Some Added Toughness: Nobody wants to mess with the guy in a leather jacket. Leather jackets are known for being as tough and hardy as the people who wear them. 
• Universally Adored by Women: It’s a shame that the tradition of giving a woman your jacket has fallen out of favor in recent decades, because women love to borrow a man’s leather jacket. Some of this has to do with romance and nostalgia, a lot of it is practical; leather jackets are warm!
