Where have all the leather biker jackets gone?

Just as I'm finally fitting back into my beloved slim fitting All Saints bikers again they seem to have disappeared from Instagram etc and been replaced by bombers and oversized shapes. I'm going to wear mine regardless (albeit with wide leg and barrel jeans and I do have a brown suede one which probably fits better with current trends) and they will always come back into style, but I'm just curious to know are biker jackets seen as a bit dated now? They were absolutely everywhere a couple of years ago.

If I had one I'd still wear it, probably like you're doing with wide / barrel legs etc - I think they'll work fine together. What I wouldn't do is go out and spend a three figure sum on one because they've been around for so long now that I've got a bit bored. (Sorry biker lovers but that's me - fickle and shallow.)

Have no idea but a decent, leather, biker jacket will last years and look better as the years go by. It certainly isn't something most people throw out after one or two seasons so I actually wouldn't class it as a fashion item.

I still wear mine but then I'm not too bothered about it being in fashion. It goes with my personal style.

I love my leather jacket. Mine is Superdry, biker style but collarless. Has all the zips and buckles
I’m 60 and have had leather jackets since a teenager.. Still wear Levi 501’s in the same size too
i think they’re timeless.

I'm wearing my All Saints Dalby.

I was biker for years so I have my old biker jacket size 12 in my wardrobe complete with rally patches all over it. I don't ride any more (osteoarthritis) but I'm not sure I can bear to sell just yet. I probably will. Are there none on vinted?
