# Leather Jackets From Vintage Carseats Platinum Dirt VIN Jackets By Bianca | Published 2008-04-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platinum-dirt-vin-jackets References: [platinumdirt](http://www.platinumdirt.com/) These gorgeous leather jackets are perfect for auto snobs -- they're lined with salvaged leathers and fabrics from vintage car seats. The **Platinum Dirt VIN Jackets** are made to order and custom-fit by Dustin Page, a passionate connoisseur of cars himself. A lover of Cadillacs and Lincolns from the '60s and '70s, he went on a mission to find the remains in auto junkyards. He used the old leathers to create brand new, retro-cut, distressed leather jackets and gathered hood-ornaments to act as zipper pulls. This way if the wife makes you give up your '63 Caddy, for $1,200, you can still wear part of it close to your heart each time you miss it! Now that's classy trashy! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vintage-upcycled Fashion:** Designing fashionable clothing using salvaged materials, such as vintage car seat leathers and fabrics from junkyards. - **Sustainable Clothing:** Using upcycled materials to create luxury clothing that is environmentally friendly and promotes sustainability in the fashion industry. - **Custom-fit Clothing:** Creating bespoke garments that are tailored to meet the unique needs of consumers and provide a personalized experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** There is an opportunity for the fashion industry to embrace upcycling and sustainable practices in clothing production through collaborations with car junkyards and custom-fit tailors. - **Automotive:** Automotive manufacturers and salvage companies can reap benefits by working with designers and fashion companies to repurpose car seat leathers and other fabric scraps in creative and artistic ways. - **Tailoring:** Professional tailors can specialize in creating custom-fit clothing and using salvaged materials to provide unique and personalized experiences for their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Mechanic Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greaser-garage-jacket.md) - [Dramatically Luxurious Leather Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocodile-leather-jacket.md) - [Minimalist Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-bags.md) - [Leather Motto Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-motto-jackets.md) - [Curated Pit-Crew-Inspired Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-racing-jackets.md) - [Elegantly Embroidered Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cropped-velvet-jacket.md) - [Fashion-Forward Suede Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-mason-1.md) - [Candle Brand Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rizon.md) - [Recycled Tire Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kathmandu-epiq-se.md)
