January can be hard on your clothes budget. We all know that. And when the sky opens and snow falls down, it’s sometimes hard to be motivated enough, to plan the wardrobe for next spring. But I have one advice that I would like to share with my male readers. If you’re going to spend some money on just one garment, then go leather! The biker jacket is the only thing worth to buy. It’s not just next seasons most trendy piece of clothing, but it’s also a good investment. I have a classic biker vest, that I bought on a flea market in Paris, 18 years ago, and it still looks fantastic. As a matter of a fact, it looks better for every year. And, if you live in Oslo, then take a look at the cheap second hand stores around (like UFF on Jernbanetorget), not the fancy ones. There you can sometimes find the original biker jackets, to a very reasonable price. Now, if you happen to be Petter Stordalen, then take a look at my personal selection from the catwalk and go wild with your Am Ex Gold!

"Warm Leatherette"

See the breaking glass
In the underpass
See the breaking glass
In the underpass
Warm leatherette

Hear the crushing steel
Feel the steering wheel
Hear the crushing steel
Feel the steering wheel

Warm leatherette

Warm leatherette

Warm leatherette
Melts on your burning flesh
You can see your reflection
In the luminescent dash

Warm leatherette

A tear of petrol
Is in your eye
The hand brake
Penetrates your thigh
Quick - Let's make love
Before you die

On warm leatherette
Warm leatherette

Join the car crash set!

Lyrics from Grace Jones album "Warm Leatherette"
