Why Leather Is a Long Buy

Almost nothing else in a wardrobe rewards wear the way a leather jacket does. The hide softens, creases set where your body puts them, and after a few years the jacket fits you specifically rather than generically. That is why it is worth buying a good one once, and why the designer versions justify their price over a decade rather than a season.

Biker, Bomber and Blouson

The biker is the hardest silhouette, cut short with an asymmetric zip and a notched or stand collar, and it suits a slimmer build. Bombers are the easiest to wear, with a ribbed hem and cuff that keeps the shape casual. Blousons and clean zip jackets sit between the two and are the most useful if you own only one.

Hides and What They Do

Calfskin is the most durable and holds structure, which suits a biker. Lambskin is softer and drapes better, though it marks more easily. Suede is the dressiest and least weatherproof. Leather trousers take the same materials further down.

Men's Leather Jackets FAQs

How should a leather jacket fit?

Close through the shoulder and chest, with room for a shirt or a fine knit underneath and nothing more. Leather gives slightly across the body with wear, but the shoulder seam never moves, so get that right first.

Calfskin or lambskin?

Calfskin for durability and structure, particularly in a biker cut. Lambskin for softness, lighter weight and better drape, accepting that it scratches and marks more readily over time.

How do I care for a leather jacket?

Hang it on a broad hanger, keep it out of direct sun and away from heaters, and condition the hide once a year. Never machine wash. For anything beyond surface dirt, use a specialist leather cleaner.
