Leather Jackets for Men

What kinds of leather jackets for men are there?

Leather jackets for men come in different styles. At Tom Tailor you'll find, for example, the classic biker jacket or a bomber jacket in a suede look. Typical variations are:

• the biker jacket with an asymmetric zip, quilted stitching and often a belt at the waist
• styles in a suede or velour look with a soft, matte surface
• versions with a stand-up collar or a fur collar for the colder season

In terms of colour, timeless black and brown are especially popular. Exactly which material a leather jacket is made of is stated in each product description.

Are leather jackets for men still modern?

Yes, the leather jacket is a timeless classic that stays modern again and again. The biker jacket in particular has been a cool, casual piece for decades and suits many styles. Whether sporty with jeans and sneakers or bolder with boots – a leather jacket never looks old-fashioned, but instantly gives your look character.

How do I recognise a good leather jacket?

You can recognise a good jacket by clean workmanship and high-quality materials. Look for even seams, smooth-running zips and a pleasant, not too stiff material. With genuine leather, an even grain and a soft feel count as marks of quality; high-quality faux leather convinces through a realistic look and a pleasant feel. A neatly finished lining and clean edges round off the picture.

How do I find the right size in a men's leather jacket?

A leather jacket should sit close to the body but still leave enough room for a top underneath. At the shoulders, the seam ideally ends right on the shoulder edge, and the sleeves reach to the wrist. Over a T-shirt the jacket may sit slim; if a thicker jumper needs to fit underneath in winter, it's better to choose it a little wider. When in doubt, the size chart in the shop helps – the relevant measurements are given in each product description.

How do I combine a men's leather jacket?

A leather jacket is versatile to combine. With jeans and a plain T-shirt you get the classic, casual biker look, and with boots the look becomes bolder. For the colder season, wear a hoodie or jumper underneath. If you like variety, a bomber jacket or denim jacket makes a good alternative for other occasions.
