		<description><![CDATA[Black leather motorcycle jackets have become the norm, but that is by no means the only choice available, and arguably not the wisest choice from a safety perspective. Bright, eye catching color combinations of leather and synthetics are widely available, and many styles come with reflective piping to improve visibility on the road.

		<description><![CDATA[The leather tanning process can be broken down into three stages: Preparing the hide for tanning, the actual tanning of the hide, and the finishing stage. While it used to take weeks or even months to tan a hide, today’s modern tanning processes have reduced the time and energy spent to a matter of days.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The oldest if not the original tanning method is Vegetable Tanning. Hides are treated with the barks of trees that contain the naturally occurring element Tannin, from which the term “tanning” originates. 

Chrome tanned leather is soft and pliable, and is the most used method for treating the skins of cattle, pigs, goat and lamb. It produces a flexible, stretchable leather that is suitable for garments, and of course, leather motorcycle apparel.

		<description><![CDATA[Get as much information as you can about the type of leather and its tanning process. Find out if the leather is Buffalo, Light Weight, or Cowhide, and if it is top grain, naked leather, or split. A good website should be forthcoming with this information, and even provide you with the thickness of the leather, usually in millimeters. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Putting aside the cult of personality surrounding the leather motorcycle jacket, fact is that leather has been the material of choice for motorcyclist since the early 30’s for one very good reason: it serves as a second layer of skin, disposable and happily sacrificed in a high speed slide on an asphalt pavement.

While the properties of leather allow for a clean slide without bunching up or disintegrating, it should be noted that all leathers are not the same. Thus coined the phrase “riding grade" leather.
