Men's Biker Jackets

They're fashion jackets inspired by riding gear. Unless a product page says otherwise, they don't include protective armour and aren't intended for riding.

Snug through the chest and waist, with the hem sitting around your belt line. You should be able to zip it over a T-shirt or light knit and reach forward without the shoulders pulling. The sleeves can be a touch long, since they ride up when your arms are bent.

Often, yes, if the hoodie is lightweight and the jacket isn't cut very slim. If layering is how you'll wear it most, check the measurements in our Size Guide and allow room across the chest.

Real leather bikers can feel firm when new, especially in heavier leathers. They usually relax at the elbows and shoulders as you wear them. Faux leather doesn't break in the same way, so choose a fit that's comfortable from day one.

Black is the classic, edgier option and works with almost anything. Brown looks more vintage and pairs well with denim, olive and cream.

Real leather tends to soften and develop character with wear. Faux leather is man-made, usually lighter, and often lower in price. Each product says which it is, and our leather guide explains the differences.
