Evil, by way of pleather pants. A TV villain in leather pants is full-fledged evil, but one in pleather implies faux evil or plevilness. Usually black pleather. Example: On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 2, Angel was evil and wore black leather pants. In season 3, Faith was ambiguous. She wore black pleather as a sign of her plevilness.
