Leather. Not boots, belts and wallets, the everyday stuff that's generally made of leather in any case, but leather apparel. The full Village People kit. It's one of the biggest turn-offs for me. And why does it always seem to be the men who really ought not to wear it who wear it? Mainly pensioners who can barely squeeze their fat carcases into the gear. There are few things more dick-shrivelling than the sight of a grizzled old fart with an arse the size of a small country waddling around in leather chaps and one of those ridiculous harnesses. And wearing a silly leather cap to crown the ensemble.
Everyone seems to think a leather jacket is one of the great fashion must-haves. I see whole families where they all have one. But leather is impractical for clothing. It's easily damaged and it's high maintenance, although most people who wear a leather jacket don't do anything to look after it, they kid themselves it ages well and looks better with the passing years.
Well it doesn't! It looks slovenly and dirty. They'd do better spending the money on good shoes and boots. Now that's something that really does float my boat!
