We're thrilled to announce the reissue of one of the most celebrated publications among vintage and heritage fashion enthusiasts. This special edition of Lightning Magazine brings back the iconic volume "Lightning Archives: Leather Jackets," first released in 2014—now revised and enhanced.

Part of the highly sought-after Lightning Archives series, this single-issue Japanese publication delves deep into the world of vintage leather jackets, showcasing over 300 rare and historically valuable pieces from the 1930s to the 1970s. From rugged early workwear to fashion-forward styles, the collection captures the evolution of leather jackets through the decades.

Rather than organizing by brand or type, the jackets are arranged chronologically, allowing readers to intuitively trace changes in design and function over time. With contributions from renowned vintage shops and collectors, this volume is a true archival treasure for anyone passionate about timeless style, craftsmanship, and the rich legacy of leather.

Whether you're a dedicated collector, a fashion historian, or simply a fan of classic menswear—this is a book you won't want to miss.
