Leather In Rock


Well after Dave Graney's triumphant quintuple leather outfit in that previous post I was wondering if anyone else had been so audacious in their lifetimes to attempt such fashion highs?


Marlon Brando. Wild One leather.


Jimmy Dean's iconic leather, fag, hair, t-shirt, cheekbones......


Who are these guys? That's a lot of leather.


Jim Morrison owner of the world's most famous leather pants although apparently v stanky.


Jim in contemplating leather.


Lou Reed. 70s Heroin Chic leather.


Older clean Lou rides bike in leather. RIP in leather.


The Stooges. Not as leathery as one would have thought.


Elvis Presley. 68 Comeback leather. Was this leather's finest moment? He was hot ie. sweating it out for fashion. That's leather dedication!


Elvis in 70s King leather. 


Keef in leather/hair combo.


Suzi Quatro. The ultimate 70s woman in Glam leather.


Suzi lying down in leather jumpsuit. Nice.


The Ramones. 1976 New York Punk leather. Great leather/denim combo uniform. Very contrived, military-esque, I like.


Johnny Rotten. Can't really tell if this is leather. He was more fond of a sports coat albeit usually a mangled one, like his dog ate it.


Sid Vicious. Sex Pistol on his way to the grave in leather.


Michael Jackson. Billie Jean leather. Dancing in leather pants i would imagine is hard. Doing Michael Jackson dancing even harder. This could be quadruple leather? What if there's a glove on the hand in the pocket though?


Couple of faces later leather. You like my shoulder leather.


Melle Mel. Street corner hood leather. The last great icon of leather?


Blixa Bargeld. Strange German leather. Lederhosen-esque leather.


Dave Graney. Quintuple leather. Still the leatheriest I do believe. You are a champion of leather! I think MJ was Dave's only possible real competition and well he's dead now so game over.

honoured to be in the golden age of leather
