Mens Real Leather Antique Wash Retro Biker Jacket
Mens Real Leather Antique Wash Retro Biker Jacket
The Mens Real Leather Antique Wash Retro Biker Jacket gets its character from the wash rather than from added hardware. The hide is washed and tumbled after dyeing, which softens the leather and pulls colour unevenly out of the seams and creases. The result is a retro biker jacket that already moves like an old favourite on the first wear, with a clean moto shape and no unnecessary zips or patches.
Material: Real cowhide with antique wash and tumble finish
Fit: Slim retro biker fit, ends just below the belt
Closure: Front zip with snap-fastened collar
Color: Antique washed brown
Care: Wipe with a dry cloth, keep away from heat, condition once or twice a year
What the Antique Wash Does
Washing leather after dyeing breaks the fibres down slightly, so the hide loses its stiffness and starts creasing naturally instead of folding sharply. Colour lifts from the raised areas and stays in the recesses, which is what gives the jacket its two-tone depth. It is the same process used on vintage denim, applied to a cowhide shell.
Build and Hardware
The panels are cut from real cowhide, not a coated split. Seams are double stitched at the shoulder and underarm, the main zip is metal, and the collar snap is set through a reinforced tab so it does not pull loose. Inside there is a smooth full lining and an internal pocket, which keeps the jacket comfortable over a t-shirt.
Fit and Styling
This is a slim retro cut. It sits close through the chest and stops just below the belt, which keeps the proportions right with jeans or chinos. Order your usual size for a fitted look, or one up if you want to layer a hoodie. The washed brown works well with indigo denim, cream knits and desert boots.
Made to Order and Custom Sizes
Sizes run XS to 5XL and Custom is free. Send your chest, waist, sleeve length and height and we cut the pattern to those figures. Each jacket is produced after the order is placed, so nothing sits in a warehouse losing its finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the antique wash a coating?
No. It is a wash and tumble process on real cowhide, so the effect is in the leather itself and will not peel.
How soft is the leather?
Softer than an untreated cowhide jacket because of the wash, so there is very little break-in period.
What size should I order?
Your usual size for a slim fit. Size up if you want to wear a hoodie underneath, or choose Custom and send measurements at no extra cost.
Is it warm enough for winter?
It is a three season jacket. For deep winter, layer underneath or pick a shearling lined style.
Is it made to order?
Yes, each jacket is cut and stitched once you order.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes, free worldwide shipping with secure checkout.
Will the colour rub off on clothes?
No. The dye is set before washing, so the finish is stable against normal wear.
