Men's Vintage Leather Jackets

Men's vintage leather jackets: biker, bomber, blazers and suede. Real leather that gets better with age, each piece one of a kind and carefully checked.

Leather with a past

A vintage leather jacket has something a new one only gains after years of wear: supple leather, its own patina and a shape that has already settled in. In this category you’ll find men’s leather jackets, leather blazers and suede jackets, hand-picked by us in Amsterdam.

Styles and labels

From clean biker and bomber jackets to leather blazers with a 70s collar, the styles change constantly. You might come across pieces from Avirex, known for its flight and bomber jackets, or from Diesel. There’s also leather from smaller Italian and Greek makers, where the label often says more about craftsmanship than about a name.

What we look for

With leather, we check suppleness, seams, lining, zips and any tears or discolouration. Whatever we find, we describe honestly on the product page. We always state the material; if the label is missing, we describe what we’ve established ourselves.

Styling and care

A leather jacket works over almost anything: a jumper from our vintage knitwear, a white T-shirt or a shirt. Add vintage jeans for a timeless combination. Treat the leather now and then with a suitable leather balm and hang the jacket on a broad hanger, out of direct sunlight.

Types of leather and suede

Cowhide is sturdy and hard-wearing, lambskin is thinner and softer, and goatskin has a fine, visible grain. Suede is the brushed underside of the hide: velvety soft, but more sensitive to water and stains. Brush suede dry with a dedicated brush and protect it with a suitable spray before wearing it in the rain. Prefer a fabric coat?

How do I care for vintage leather?
