|'''Dave''', ''[[Drop the Dead Donkey]]''}}
There's a reason we call the trope "[[Draco in Leather Pants|Draco In '''''Leather''''' Pants]]". There's something about tanned cow hide that's cool and extremely sexy to many people.
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''. Takahashi seems to love this one.
Line 33:
* On ''[[Tokko]]'', all members of Tokko wear leather jackets and pants except for Ryoko, who wears a standard police uniform.
* [[The Lancer|Joe]] [[Mr. Fanservice|Asakura]] from [[Gatchaman]] wore normal yet skintight clothes in the TV series, but he switches to leather pants and jacket in the OVA. [[Walking Shirtless Scene|Note that we only said "pants and jacket"...]]
== Comic Books ==
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* [[No Examples Please|Not an example]], but Scrooge [[McDuck]] utters this phrase when he sees a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|tidal wave]] of kangaroos go stampeding past him.
▲== Fan Fiction ==
* The [[The Lord of the Rings/Fanfic Recs|Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth]] gave us Elves in Black Leather. (There's some fanart as well.)
* ''[[Mario Kart]]'' AU fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4777932/1/Firefly Firefly] stars a human Bowser whose [http://lightninglaveau.livejournal.com/990.html clothing tastes] consist almost solely of leather and spikes, likely inspired by Nintendo's official [https://web.archive.org/web/20130801102640/http://raypc.webs.com/photos/Bowser/224252-bowser_1_.jpg designs] [http://www.bowsershrine.com/Images/Media/Renders/bowserdoubledash.jpg and] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130316125726/http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/bowser/bowser.jpg artwork] for him.
* Part of the Isuten Junior High uniform in ''[[Pretty Cure Heavy Metal]]'', for both the boys ''and'' the girls!
== Film ==
Line 65 ⟶ 62:
* Late-night DJ [[Memetic Sex God|Midnight Mark]] wears clingy leather trousers in ''[[The Boat That Rocked]]''. Later lampshaded by Quentin.
* Selene from ''[[Underworld (film)|Underworld]]'' is why leather was invented.
* [[Razor Blade Smile]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20180305192519/http://0to5stars-moria.ca/horror/razorbladesmile.htm
* Velma in the Scooby-Doo movie dresses in leather to seduce [[Seth Green]]'s character. Played for laughs because she sounds like she farts when she moves.
* ''[[Mad Max]]''
Line 76 ⟶ 73:
* The alternate title of the 1968 British-French film ''The Girl on a Motorcycle'' is ''Naked Under Leather''.
* In the movie, ''[[Eragon]]'' and just about everyone of importance wears leather of some kind. This is extremely [[Did Not Do the Research|not accurate]]. Justified, though not trope-wise, in that the wardrobe production was given little time to make the vast amounts of costumes needed, and someone had bought large quanties of leather; they had to use what they had, budget wouldn't allow more costs.
== Literature ==
Line 89 ⟶ 85:
* The Doctor's companion Fitz, from the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]], has a leather jacket. He also wears leather trousers once or twice.
* Harry Dresden's distinctive, enchanted black leather duster comes up frequently in ''The [[Dresden Files]],'' though its badassery is rarely explicitly stated. It ''is'' brought up when Harry needs clearance to enter a decidedly shifty night club, but Thomas is able to get him in because he's "A man in a black leather coat."
== Live-Action TV ==
Line 109 ⟶ 104:
Green Leather Pants of Jealousy (Worn by Willow.)
Pink Leather Pants of Enthrallment (Worn by Buffy.) }}
* ''[[Angel]]''. When Wesley makes his return as a "rogue demon hunter", he's wearing all leather. He has to change out of them though, as they chafe his...[[Last-Second Word Swap|legs]].
** And Illyria. Oh dear Christ, Illyria.
Line 145 ⟶ 140:
* The Gorma Triumvirate in ''[[Gosei Sentai Dairanger]]''.
* Emma usually wears a red leather jacket in ''[[Once Upon a Time]]''.
== Tabletop Games ==
* Leather armor is, fittingly enough, the armor of choice of rogue classes, especially in ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''. Sadly, real leather armor is boiled into rigid pieces, and doesn't look or behave anything like leather clothing.
* The "Leather armor" card in ''[[Munchkin]]''.
* In ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade|Vampire: The Eternal Struggle]]'', the Leather Jacket is an equipment card. It prevents all damage from a single attack, and is then destroyed. By comparison, the Flak Jacket can be used every round, but only prevents 1 damage.
== Video Games ==
* [[Stranglehold|Tequila Yuen]] sports a brown one and pulls it off. Maybe it's because he is Chow Yun Fat...
* Trish from ''[[Devil May Cry]]''.
Line 181 ⟶ 174:
* Aside from her [[Badass Cape]], Karst's outfit in ''[[Golden Sun]]: The Lost Age'' is mostly black and red leather. Like the above Etna, she's [[Ms. Fanservice|not exactly wearing a lot of it]].
== Web Comics ==
* In ''[[Miscellaneous Error]]'', the main feature of Jack's [[Limited Wardrobe]] is a leather [[Badass Longcoat]].
* [[Girl Genius|Von Pinn]].

== Western Animation ==
Line 199 ⟶ 189:
* Vanessa Doofenshmirtz in ''Phineas and Ferb''.
* Episodic character [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Sigmund the]] [[The Rival|Sorcerer]] from ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]''.
== Real Life ==
Line 217 ⟶ 206:
* Early aircraft pilots wore fur lined leather jackets for the warmth, leading to Bomber Jackets.
* Suzie Quatro. Especially [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk6kvVGPURA here]
* Women have become the biggest consumer group for leather, surprisingly enough, during the 2010s. Most of the time it's leather ''pants'' that are worn rather than jackets, since they're skin-tight and allow the woman to flaunt her ass and [[She's Got Legs|legs]] (and get a few men interested) without being too inappropriate. Some women take it even further and wear ''latex'' pants, which mostly achieve the same effect, except they're smooth and very shiny.
