Designer Leather Jackets

A leather jacket isn’t so much an item of clothing as an extension of your character. More so than any other garment you own, your choice says something about you – so don’t go writing checks your personality can’t cash.There are five or six main styles to choose from when looking to buy a leather jacket. Perhaps the most famous is the “double riders,” aka the classic biker jacket made famous by everyone from James Dean to The Ramones. A true staple of rebel attire, for many the iconic Schott 613 Perfecto is the only name you need to know in this category, although many others exist. Several decades worth of under-nourished rockstars have proven just how great it looks with skinny black denim, although it can be fleshed out for bulkier frames when worn over a hoodie, a la Mr. West. Check out ASOS, Surface To Air, Acne and Givenchy for a range of products and prices.For a sportier look, the “motocross” (also known as the “café racer”) jacket does away with all unnecessary zips, studs and epaulettes for a deliberately streamlined fit that was originally intended to minimize drag while racing at high speeds. Its naturally figure-hugging cut means this style should really only be worn over a T-shirt or other slim underlayer. Diesel make a decent affordable option, while Lanvin, Phillip Plein and Saint Laurent are at the other end of the spectrum.
Similar in shape to the moto, although with a very different history, the classic “bomber” is more likely to be thickly lined (to keep those pilots warm at 10,000 feet), and usually features an elasticated collar, hem and cuffs made from cotton or wool. Check Anerkjendt, All Saints and Alexandre Mattiusi for examples, along with this headturner from Hood By Air. Meanwhile, the College jacket is a popular subversion of this style (seen here in this piece from Beams Plus) that features a wool body and leather sleeves.Elsewhere, the “fencing” jacket is a slim, form-fitting option that incorporates a high turtle-neck collar that opens out when unzipped. Rick Owens is pretty much the father of this look and you shouldn’t attempt it unless you own a lot of black. For something a little more street, a handful of designers have begun incorporating leather hoods directly into their jackets themselves (see Vince and Alexander Wang) to create something reminiscent of classic sportswear. Finally, the “fatigue” jacket (like this one from Belstaff) is the one exception to the rule that leather should never hang lower than your hips, and often comes with a belted waist to avoid looking too boxy.Unless you’re stacking serious pocket change, buying a leather jacket is likely to be a major long-term investment, so you’ll want it to last. While it is technically possible to replace things like zips, buttons and buckles if they wear out, doing so is neither cheap nor easy, so save yourself the headache and make sure the hardware is up to scratch before you hand over any green. YKK or RiRi zips are a must – anything less is a con.
Beyond that, be sure to check the quality of the lining. If a jacket is lined with something thin and flimsy, then chances are the leather is cheap and low-grade too. What’s more, if that lining rips, you’re going to have a serious job on your hands to replace it. Check the stitching at the seams both inside and outside for an indication of how many man-hours went into producing it. A good quality jacket will be stitched densely and evenly with strong polyester thread, and should have no loose ends or potential points of weakness to come undone further down the line.1-I received River Road Race Vented Jacket as a Valentine's Day gift from my fiancé. I am just under 5'7" and typically I am a medium, however I found the jacket to be a little shorter than I would have liked in the torso. It fits great through the arms and shoulders. This jacket is excellent for cold weather riding, I'm excited to see what it will be like in summer.
2-They tell you in the video that it fits small, and you should probably be prepared to order one size up.I am 5'9" 185 and about a 39 inch chest, and I typically wear a 40R or smaller jacket. Even so, I ordered the 40 in this jacket along with the 40 in the Twin Iron, which fits larger than expected.
This looks and feels like a great leather jacket. I suspect the vents will provide great air flow, but I only tried it on in my apartment; well in my garage too, sitting on the bike.
The 40 fit me like a glove when standing, but the sleeves were too short when I sat on the bike. Also, when sitting, the torso was very constricted and uncomfortable.
Perhaps the 42 would fit better. The 40 in the Twin Iron and the Baron Retro were so oversized that I don't have much hope for sizing up this jacket. For now, I will keep searching.
