Whois & Analysis for wilsonsleather.com

Wilsons Leather is a U.S. leather retailer, selling products such as leather jackets, belts, shoes, handbags, and gloves.

At its peak in 2002, the Minneapolis-based retailer had 763 stores in 46 states and Canada.

A leather jacket is a jacket-length coat that is usually worn on top of other apparel or item of clothing, and made from the tanned hide of various animals.

The leather material is typically dyed black, or various shades of brown, but a wide range of colors is possible.

Leather jackets can be designed for many purposes, and specific styles have been associated with subcultures such as greasers, motorcyclists, military aviators, police, and music subcultures (punks, goths, metalheads, rivetheads), who have worn the garment for protective or fashionable reasons, and occasionally to create a potentially intimidating appearance.

A handbag, also purse or pouch in North American English, is a handled medium-to-large that is often fashionably designed, often used by women, to hold personal items.

A glove (Middle English from Old English glof) is a garment covering the whole hand.

Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for each finger and the thumb; if there is an opening but no (or a short) covering sheath for each finger they are called fingerless gloves.

Fingerless gloves having one large opening rather than individual openings for each finger are sometimes called gauntlets, though gauntlets are not necessarily fingerless.

Gloves which cover the entire hand or fist but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens.

Mittens are warmer than other styles of gloves made of the same material because fingers maintain their warmth better when they are in contact with each other.

Reduced surface area reduces heat loss.

A hat is a head covering which is worn for various reasons, including protection against the elements, ceremonial reasons such as university graduation, religious reasons, safety, or as a fashion accessory.

In the past, hats were an indicator of social status.

In the military, hats may denote nationality, branch of service, rank, and/or regiment.

Police typically wear distinctive hats such as peaked caps or brimmed hats, such as those worn by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Some hats have a protective function.

As examples, the hard hat protects construction workers' heads from injury by falling objects and a British police Custodian helmet protects the officer's head, a sun hat shades the face and shoulders from the sun, a cowboy hat protects against sun and rain and a Ushanka fur hat with fold-down earflaps keeps the head and ears warm.

Some hats are worn for ceremonial purposes, such as the mortarboard, which is worn (or carried) during university graduation ceremonies.

Some hats are worn by members of a certain profession, such as the Toque worn by chefs.

Some hats have religious functions, such as the mitres worn by Bishops and the turban worn by Sikhs.
