Cowhide leather jackets made from real cowhide, which is generally thicker and firmer than sheepskin. That gives jackets a structured shape that holds its lines. Expect a cowhide jacket to feel firm at first and to relax gradually as you wear it.

Every jacket in this collection is cowhide leather, designed as fashion jackets rather than riding gear. Compare cowhide with sheepskin and buffalo in our leather guide.

Cowhide Leather Jacket FAQs

How is cowhide different from sheepskin?

Cowhide is generally thicker, firmer and heavier, while sheepskin is softer and lighter from the start. Cowhide suits a structured look; sheepskin suits a relaxed, draped one.

How long does cowhide take to break in?

It varies with thickness and finish. Expect the jacket to feel firm for the first few wears, then gradually ease at the elbows, shoulders and collar. Regular wear is the best way to soften it.

Is a cowhide jacket heavy?

Usually heavier than sheepskin or faux leather of a similar style. Many people like that weight because it makes the jacket feel substantial. Check the product details for specifics.

Can I ride a motorcycle in a cowhide jacket?

Cowhide is often used in riding gear, but our jackets are designed as fashion pieces. Unless a product says otherwise, they don't include protective armour and aren't intended for riding.

How do I care for cowhide?

Check the care label first. Wipe dust and marks with a soft, dry cloth, keep it away from direct heat, and condition occasionally with a product made for garment leather, after a patch test.
