Women's Cafe Racer Leather Jackets
A women’s cafe racer jacket is the plainest shape we make: a stand collar instead of lapels, a zip straight up the middle, no belt at the waist. The off-white lambskin cafe racer snaps shut at the throat and has four zipped pockets, two on the chest and two for the hands, with zips at the cuffs as well. The black leather cafe racer carries ribbed padding across the shoulders, a straight zip and two slanted zipped pockets. It is cut closer than a biker, with nothing to spread open at the collar.
Color decides most of this. A cafe racer leather jacket for women in pale leather gets noticed, and the off-white lambskin is thin, fine-grained and soft from the first wear, though it picks up marks, so keep it off fresh denim for the first few weeks. The smooth black leather creases at the elbows and along the zip, and those creases are what make it look like yours after a season.
The lightweight sheepskin jacket is the lightest piece here, since sheepskin keeps the weight down.
Cafe racer or biker
The cut has a stand collar and a centered zip, with no lapels. A biker jacket has wide lapels, an off-center zip and more hardware on it, and those are shelved under women’s biker leather jackets. A women’s cafe racer leather jacket is the quieter buy: it reads as a jacket rather than as motorcycle gear, and it goes under a coat without bunching at the collar.
Fit and sizing
Take your usual size in a women’s leather cafe racer jacket over a T-shirt or a thin knit, and go up one if you want a sweater underneath. Sizes run XS to 3XL, and every product page has a size guide with chest and sleeve measurements. Made to measure costs nothing: send your measurements at checkout and we cut the jacket to them.
How they are made
Nothing is cut until the order comes in. Each jacket is cut and stitched by hand, and it takes five to seven days to make and quality-check. The zips are YKK. Shipping is free worldwide, and a standard size can go back within 30 days. A jacket cut to your own measurements can only come back if it arrives damaged or faulty. More short lengths sit under women’s cropped leather jackets. The rest of what we make for women sits under women’s leather jackets.
