Why buy Leather?
- Water Resistant - Our tests show that Taylor's Leatherwear
jackets will repel water for up to 2 hours before becoming
saturated.
- Fire Resistant - Leather will resist burning, which
provides critical protection in case of explosion, vehicle
accident or other emergency.
- Abrasion Resistant - Tests by the U.S. DOT National
Safety Administration involving motorcycle falls have
shown leather to be more abrasion resistant than any other
known clothing material, including Kevlar.
-
The random nature of leather fibers
gives them an inherent strength that can not be reproduced
in laboratory. (Study available upon request)
- Windproof - Leather pores contract in cold wind, providing
an effective barrier to inclement weather while holding
in body heat.
- Breathable - Thanks to its natural pores, leather remains
supple and strong throughout its service life.
- Durable - Leather outlasts almost any other type of
clothing, especially under heavy use.
- All Taylor's Leatherwear police garments are guaranteed
for 5 years.
- Cost Effective - Over the life of a garment, virtually
no other material offers the cost efficiency of leather.
Assuming a conservative 10 year life at $350-$400 per
jacket, the annual cost of $35-$40 per year is far below
that of any synthetic or plastic alternative.
- Professional - Leather jackets promote a professional
and authoritative image. The NYPD has documented a reduction
in attacks on officers wearing leather over those wearing
cloth.
