What does "made-to-order" mean for a leather biker jacket?

Nothing is pre-made. Each jacket is built from scratch after you order — to your measurements, in the style, leather, and colors you choose. You get a one-off jacket made for your body rather than a standard size pulled from stock.

Where can I get a custom leather biker jacket near me?

You don't need a local shop — Bleed Racing Gears builds them online and ships free to riders nationwide, from California and Arizona to New York and Florida. Each jacket is made to your measurements and delivered to your door.

Can I order a custom jacket if there's no maker in my city?

Yes, and most riders don't have one nearby. Whether you're in Chicago, Houston, Denver, or a small town off the interstate, you send your measurements and we build and ship the jacket to you — no travel needed.

What does "made-to-order" actually mean for a biker jacket?

It means the jacket doesn't exist until you order it. We cut and build it from scratch to your measurements, in the style, leather, and colors you pick — a one-off jacket made for you rather than a stock size.

What biker jacket styles can you build?

Classic biker, cafe racer, cruiser, retro, and sport cuts, among others. Send us the look you're after or a reference image, and we'll tailor it with the protection built in.

Can I design the jacket entirely my own way?

Yes — your colors, patches, name, logos, and details, or a customization of one of our base styles. We send a mockup for your approval before cutting anything.

Do these custom jackets include real crash protection?

They do. Every jacket is fitted with CE Level 2 certified armor at the shoulders and elbows plus a CE certified back protector. The styling is yours; the protection is genuine and independently certified.

What leather and finishes can I choose?

Genuine full-grain cowhide at 1.3–1.4 mm as standard, or a lighter kangaroo upgrade, in your choice of color and finish. We never use synthetic or "PU" leather.

Can the jacket match my bike, team, or club?

Yes — we match colors and add club names, numbers, or logos through leather patch work or printing, worked into the design before build.

How does a made-to-order jacket compare to Alpinestars, Dainese, or Icon?

Those brands make strong off-the-rack jackets with serious R&D. A custom jacket's advantage is the tailored fit and total freedom over style, leather, and detailing, with CE Level 2 certified armor — built to your body instead of a size chart.

Can I get a jacket that matches a suit or gloves?

Yes — a custom jacket can be coordinated with a two-piece suit or matching gloves so your gear shares one consistent design.

Can I wear a leather jacket for cold-weather riding?

Yes — leather blocks wind well, and a jacket with a removable thermal liner adapts to cold and mild weather. In deep cold, riders add base layers underneath for extra insulation.

What is a removable thermal liner?

It's an insulating inner layer that zips or snaps into the jacket for warmth and out again when it's hot — letting one jacket work across seasons instead of buying separate summer and winter ones.

Are mesh jackets safer than leather?

Mesh breathes far better for hot weather but generally offers less abrasion resistance than full-grain leather. Leather is the stronger choice in a slide; mesh trades some protection for airflow. Many riders own both.

What does "pre-curved sleeves" mean on a riding jacket?

The sleeves are shaped with a bend at the elbow so they sit naturally in the riding position rather than bunching when you reach for the bars. It improves both comfort and how the armor sits.

Can a custom leather jacket include a hood?

Yes — a hood can be added or made removable on a custom build, though many riders skip it on a pure riding jacket since a hood can flap at speed. We'll advise based on how you'll use it.

How do I measure my chest and sleeves for a jacket?

Measure your chest at the fullest point with a soft tape, kept level, over a light shirt; for sleeve length, measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist with your arm slightly bent. Our full guide walks you through the rest.

Should a riding jacket leave room for layering?

A little — enough for a base or thermal layer in cold weather, but not so much that the armor shifts off your shoulders and elbows. A custom fit balances this better than guessing with a standard size.

What is the connecting zipper between a jacket and pants?

It's a zipper around the waist that joins a jacket to matching pants so a two-piece set performs like a one-piece. A custom jacket can be built with one if you plan to pair it later.

Every jacket in our custom motorcycle leather jackets collection is made to order and built to your own measurements, colours and design. Nothing here is a fixed off-the-shelf product — you choose the leather, the layout, the armour and the finish, and the jacket is cut for your body from there. If you have never been able to find a custom biker jacket that fits properly or looks the way you picture it, this is where you start.

What you can build here

The range covers custom leather motorcycle jackets for different kinds of riding — race-style jackets with an aggressive forward cut, cleaner cafe-racer and street shapes, and more upright touring-friendly builds. Because each one is made to measure, the same design can be produced in a men's or women's fitting and sized to almost any build. You are choosing a style and a fit, then customising the details.

How to choose your custom jacket

Pick by how and where you ride rather than by looks alone:

Track and fast road: a snug, pre-curved race cut that stays tight in the lean, with heavier stretch panels and fuller perforation for airflow
Everyday street and commuting: a slightly relaxed cut with partial perforation, room for a base layer, and an understated design
Touring and longer days: a more upright fit with comfortable movement and a lining you can add or remove for the season
Show, club or team jackets: a design-led build using custom colours, embroidery and leather patchwork

Design freedom and personalisation

This is where a custom jacket earns its name. You can specify fully custom colour combinations, panel layouts and finishes, and add names, numbers or logos through custom embroidery, printing or professional leather patchwork. That makes the collection a natural home for custom embroidered motorcycle jackets, matched club or group jackets, and one-off personal designs. If you want to customize a motorcycle jacket down to the smallest panel, the design facility is built around exactly that.

Construction you can rely on

Across the range, jackets are crafted from grade-A, 100% genuine full-grain cowhide leather (1.3mm–1.4mm, never bonded or PU) for abrasion resistance, with optional kangaroo leather (0.8mm–0.9mm) for a lighter shell and Monaco leather as a further option. Shared construction features include:

Pre-curved sleeves for the riding position
Original YKK zippers on the front and cuffs
Kevlar stretch panels for flexibility, with an optional Schoeller-Keprotec® upgrade
Triple safety stitching throughout in high-strength bonded nylon thread
A breathable 100% polyester mesh inner lining with two inside pockets
Regular, Slim or Relaxed fit, in men's and women's builds

Armour and safety standards

The armour is where these jackets are genuinely ahead of most custom gear. Every jacket carries KeepTech protectors at the shoulders, elbows and back, and all of them are CE Level 2 — the top impact rating — rather than the Level 1 commonly fitted elsewhere. Shoulder and elbow protectors meet EN 1621-1:2012 and the back protector meets EN 1621-2:2014, both at Level 2, which transmits roughly 20 kN in testing against about 35 kN for Level 1. The armour is independently tested and certified by Ricotest (European Notified Body No. 0498, Pastrengo, Italy) under EU Regulation 2016/425 as Category II PPE, CE and UKCA marked. Choose a premium ventilated set or a standard perforated ventilated set — both fully Level 2, differing only in breathability — and every insert is removable.

We keep one thing clear, exactly as our Protection & Safety page does: the armour is independently CE certified, but the leather shell is not. The shell earns its abrasion resistance from genuine cowhide — never bonded or PU — and triple stitching in high-strength bonded nylon thread; we don't badge the garment with a certification it doesn't hold. And because armour only works in position, the made-to-measure fit is what keeps each Level 2 protector where it belongs.

How made-to-order works

Measure: take your measurements with our size guide
Design: choose leather, colours, perforation, fit and any logos or embroidery
Build: your jacket is cut and made to order — see How It's Made
Delivery: made to order and delivered within 19–28 business days, with worldwide shipping

Fit is the whole point

A custom motorcycle jacket only delivers on comfort, looks and protection if the fit is right, so it is worth measuring carefully. Measure over a thin base layer, keep the tape level and don't pull it tight — chest, waist, shoulder width, sleeve length and back length are the numbers that matter most. If you are between builds or unsure which cut suits your riding, contact us before you order and we'll help you spec it. If you want a full matching outfit, these jackets can be paired with custom gloves and boots, or built as part of a two-piece set.
