It's not just the leather jacket. People forget that the rest of Dean's wardrobe in Rebel was more Wittgenstein than The Wild Ones. Sal Mineo's wardrobe (along with his performance) has also been forgotten. What's really surprising about the wardrobe for these "rebellious" teenagers is it's sense of restraint. This isn't Brando on a motorcycle with a gang of similarly dressed troublemakers. These are real kids, wearing what is pretty much acceptable for the day and only slighlty pushing the boundaries. The ultimate rebel wears a tweed jacket, not a leather one.
