Men's Quilted Leather Jackets
The quilted leather jacket men usually come looking for is a biker or a cafe racer with the quilting worked into the shoulder panels. The Black Mens Quilted Leather Jacket is cut that way, with notched lapels held down with brass snaps, an off-center zip and four zipped pockets. Stitching adds texture and a little body to the panel it runs across, and how far it carries changes the way the whole jacket reads. Everything here is cut and sewn after you order it, in standard sizes or to measurements you send in yourself at no extra cost.
A men’s leather jacket quilted at the shoulder yoke keeps the sleeves moving freely, which is why the pattern so often starts there. The burgundy cafe racer is diamond quilted across the shoulders, front and back, over a rub-off finish. Carry the same stitching further, down the chest and across the back, and it stops being a detail at the top and becomes the face of the jacket, the way the black sheepskin racer does, with ribbed shoulders and forearms over it.
Quilting sits in different places on the black ones. The black sheepskin winter coat carries diamond quilting over every panel, from the collar to the hem and down both sleeves. The black cafe racer jacket uses grid quilting as its only decoration, and the black lambskin cafe racer keeps its diamond quilting to the front of the shoulders.
Black leather and how it wears
Black leather takes a stitch line cleanly. Quilted panels sit slightly proud of the plain ones, so the stitched sections catch light first. They are also where a jacket ages first. The stitch lines soften and the raised panels pick up a shine, and on black the creasing at the elbows stays quiet while that happens. The channel-quilted sheepskin puffer is the one built differently, filled rather than stitched flat, with a high stand collar and elastic cuffs.
Fit and sizing
Biker cuts run close through the chest and the shoulders. Take your usual size over a T-shirt or a thin knit, and go up one if a sweater has to fit underneath. Sizes run XS to 3XL, with a size guide on the product page. Made to measure is free: add your measurements on the product page, above Add to cart, and the jacket is cut to those instead of to a standard block.
How it is made
Nothing here is made in advance. Every jacket is cut and stitched by hand after the order comes in, with YKK zips wherever there is a zip. Standard sizes take five to seven days to make, and a jacket cut to your own measurements takes a few days longer. Shipping is free worldwide. Standard sizes can go back within 30 days of delivery, unworn and tagged, with return shipping paid by you unless the jacket arrives damaged. A jacket cut to your own measurements can only be returned if it arrives damaged or faulty.
Nearby shapes
Cafe racer cuts sit in men’s cafe racer leather jackets. Other biker cuts sit with the men’s biker leather jackets. If it is a men’s quilted leather coat you are picturing rather than a jacket, that is a longer cut, past the hip and down to mid-thigh, and those lengths sit in men’s 3/4 length coats and jackets.
