Black Leather Varsity Jacket Mens

Black Leather Varsity Jacket for Men

Strip the wool out of a letterman and what's left is pure attitude. This one is top grain cowhide from collar to hem — a full leather varsity jacket, not just leather sleeves — so it drapes closer to the body than melton ever could and softens into your shape within the first few weeks of wear. The construction is raglan: each sleeve runs in a single seam from collarbone to underarm, which frees up the shoulders and gives the white contrast piping a natural line to follow. That piping traces the shirt-style collar, both sleeve seams, and the pockets, drawing the silhouette in chalk against jet black hide.

Where our wool jackets snap shut, this one runs a full-length silver zipper, with matching zip hand pockets that actually keep your phone and keys where you left them. Double white stripes band the ribbed hem and cuffs — the varsity DNA that keeps this from reading as just another moto jacket. A leather varsity jacket wears best in three-season weather, roughly 40 to 65°F, and layers cleanly over a hoodie when it drops lower. The back panel is bare and ready for embroidered art or a stitched-on patch.

Specifications

Fit & Sizing

Leaner than our wool lettermans through the body — raglan shoulders move with you instead of sitting on you, and the ribbed hem keeps the hem line snug at the hip.

Model reference: Shown on a 6'1" (185 cm), 170 lb (77 kg) model in size Medium.

Stick with your standard size for the fit shown; leather relaxes slightly with wear, so resist the urge to size up unless you layer heavy. Cross-check the size chart before ordering — leather is the one fabric where an exchange means breaking in a jacket twice.

Why This Jacket

• Full top grain cowhide shell — the hide's intact outer grain across the entire jacket, built to soften, mold, and outlast synthetic leather many times over
• White contrast piping — hand-set trim tracing the collar, raglan seams, and pockets, a detail borrowed from vintage racing jackets
• Zip everything — full-length silver front zipper and secure zip pockets make it the most practical silhouette in our lineup
• Striped rib hem and cuffs — double white bands keep the letterman bloodline visible on an otherwise blacked-out jacket
• Rock 'n' roll versatility — sharp over a white tee, mean over a black hoodie, and at home anywhere from stadium seats to stage doors

Care Instructions

Take it to a leather care specialist rather than a general dry cleaner — full-hide garments deserve the real thing. If it catches rain, blot it dry and let it rest at room temperature; never speed things along with a heater. A pH-balanced leather conditioner every season keeps the hide supple, and it should always hang on a wide wooden hanger — folding leather creases it permanently.
