Every man needs a leather shirt

You know those times when a leather jacket is just too much leather? Maybe too dressy, too butch, too mafia, or simply too outdoorsy?

Gentlemen, we present to you the Leather Shirt.

Available in the optional - but oh so mandatory - slim fit, from Dutch Leather Design.
Now some of the less fashion forward out there are probably asking yourself, but where to wear? We say, let your imagination run free:

• a date
• a date to the zoo
• dinner at a steak house
• a formal dance at a ranch
• on a motorcycle

Seriously, you do need a certain Euro-flair and the right venue for this type of statement piece or you will look like a ranch hand. On the other hand, with a little thought and some expensive shoes, you will look awesome.

Pair it with a good pair of jeans that fit well -- super baggies are the wrong silhouette for a body conscious piece like this -- and some long toe box boots in a complementary but not matching leather. Next, strike a pose and watch the ladies (or gentlemen, if that's how you roll) do double takes when they see you. And they will be good, "I want to touch your body!" kind of double takes, we promise.

Oh, did we mention that they are 259 Euros, which these days converts to about $400? Hey, they're limited edition, and actually made in Europe where people know leather. If you're in the market for a chest thumping-chest touching item, this is the way to go!
