Men's Brown Classic Rider Cowhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket

The Men's Brown Classic Rider Cowhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket is a vintage leather jacket cut from full-grain cowhide.

This is heritage leather outerwear: real cowhide, fully lined, metal hardware, built to age well and last decades. It is supplied without impact armour, so it is a jacket you wear rather than race in.

Construction

• Full-grain cowhide leather — real hide, never bonded or PU-coated material
• Full interior lining for comfortable all-day wear
• Stitched with high-strength bonded nylon thread
• Metal hardware and YKK zippers throughout
• Multiple internal and external pockets
• Cut and finished by hand, in standard sizes or to your own measurements

This is a heritage leather jacket rather than a race garment. It is supplied without impact armour and should not be treated as protective riding gear. If you want a leather jacket with CE certified armour fitted, see the armoured motorcycle jackets.

Who It Suits

Worn by riders on cruisers, cafe racers, naked bikes and classics, and equally off the bike. If you need impact protection, pair it with separate armour or choose an armoured jacket instead.

Size and Fit

Available in standard sizes XS through 3XL, or made to your own measurements at no change to production. Leather relaxes and moulds to you over the first few weeks, so a jacket that feels slightly firm when new will settle rather than stretch out of shape. See the size guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this jacket come with armour?
No. This is a heritage leather jacket supplied without impact armour. For a jacket with CE certified protectors fitted, see the armoured motorcycle jackets.

Do you make this in a women’s cut?
Yes. Women’s jackets are cut on female proportions rather than scaled down from a men’s block, which is the usual reason off-the-shelf jackets fit badly at chest, waist and hip at once.

Is cowhide better than lambskin for a jacket?
For durability and abrasion resistance, yes. Lambskin is softer and lighter but far thinner. Cowhide is what gives a jacket decades of life.

What leather is this made from?
Full-grain cowhide — real hide, not bonded or PU-coated material sold as "genuine leather". Full-grain is the dense outer layer and is what allows the jacket to age well rather than crack.

Can I wear this on a motorcycle?
Riders do wear heritage jackets, but understand what you are buying: full-grain cowhide gives abrasion resistance, while impact protection comes from armour, which this jacket does not have.

How do I care for it?
Wipe with a soft damp cloth and condition when the hide feels dry. Never machine wash or dry it near direct heat, which hardens leather permanently.

Care Instructions

• Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth
• Use a leather conditioner when the hide feels dry
• Do not machine wash, tumble dry or bleach
• Dry naturally, away from direct sunlight and artificial heat
• Store on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape
