No more.
This fall, leather will enjoy a renaissance among regular folks.
Still, you won’t find much of the buckskinned, fringed variety found on the likes of Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok.
Instead of skins from the wild, wild West, you’ll find leathers with a decidedly civilized patina.
Call it the taming of the call of the wild.
The newest leathers will be found in ladylike dresses, subtle suits, vests and tailored trousers in a myriad of shades ranging from white to neon orange to black. Even animal rights enthusiasts can ride the leather wave with Is-It-Real-Or-Is-It-Memorex pleather, moc croc and PVC vinyl.
Whips and chains? Leave ’em at home.
