This review will take a look at the top 10 leather jackets for men.

The timeless leather jacket is a wardrobe staple that has never gone out of style. From the 40s on, it has remained a symbol of masculinity and coolness, adorning characters like James Dean, “The Fonz” and more recently, Norman Reedus.  The decades have been kind to this tough status symbol, and it’s still going strong. If you want to turn some heads, step out in one of these classic offerings.

1. Cafe Racer Men’s Leather Jacket

The Cafe racer features premium lambskin leather, a notched collar, button cuffs, and high-quality stitching all rolled into one luxurious jacket. Comfortable for most mild weather, it is durable and long-lasting, with a classic riding style that is both sexy and fashionable. A functional zipper closure and tailored pockets round it off in style.  The cafe racer comes with a 30-day money back guarantee in case you don’t love it.

2. The Leather Factory Men’s Sword Black Genuine Lambskin Leather Biker Jacket

The Leather Factory’s SWORD leather Jacket for men is one of its most popular offerings.  This lambskin biker jacket fits in all the right ways. Available in sizes from extra small to 3 X, it is made to fit gentlemen or ruffians of any size and shape. It features a stand collar with throat tab and snap buttons up the front, four outside pockets, and two inside pockets; plenty of room to stash your stuff. A quilted polyester lining offers extra warmth and comfort.

3. Tommy Hilfiger Men’s Smooth Lamb Leather Laydown Collar Open Bottom Jacket

This Tommy Hilfiger open bottom leather jacket is understated and elegant. Created from smooth faux lamb leather, you would never know it’s not the real thing. As more companies speak out against animal cruelty, faux leather has become a fashionable thing, as this dressy jacket illustrates. With clean lines and a zip closure, it features two lower welt pockets and one inside pocket. This jacket will easily take you from the office to dinner at a fine restaurant without skipping a beat.

4. Levi’s Men’s Vintage Deer Faux Leather Sherpa Lined Aviator Bomber

Levi’s has also jumped on the vegan bandwagon, offering its classic aviator bomber in a Sherpa lined, faux leather. The bomber jacket never goes out of style, and this is one of the least expensive jackets on our list. Warm and durable, it features six outside pockets and one interior pocket. A stand-up collar and snap down shoulder epaulets add to its vintage appeal. Offered in sizes from extra small to 3x, this machine washable jacket is sure to become your new favorite.

5. Men’s Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Premium Natural Buffalo Leather

The ultimate in cool, this adjustable side lace biker jacket features tow concealed carry gun pockets and is as soft as naked cowhide. Made of genuine buffalo leather, it has hidden interior zippers that open and close, allowing you to add and sew patches quickly without needing to rip the seams. The thermal lining provides insulated warmth that keeps the cold air out. Ride baby…ride.

6. Cole Haan Men’s Smooth Leather Classic Moto Jacket

Cole Haan’s Classic Motorcycle Jacket offers the same understated elegance and finesse as its faux Hilfiger counterpart; only this one is the real deal. Made with 100% imported leather, it has a stand-up collar and welted pockets. The fit is impressive, and the soft leather exudes luxury. Clean and unembellished, it needs nothing else to make a statement.

7. FLAVOR Men Brown Leather Motorcycle Jacket with Removable Hood

While this jacket by Flavor clearly states “motorcycle,” we see a cowboy in this piece. The distressed brown leather has a frontier look about it that provides a whole new appeal. It is also more utilitarian than some of the others on our list, with a removable hood, adjustable cuffs, inner rib stand collar, and two zippered interior pockets. Fully lined and adjustable around the waist, it’s made to stand up to the elements.  If you are looking for a break from black and want to stand out from the crowd, this might be the leather jacket for you. It also comes in big and tall sizes up to 6x.

8. Harley-Davidson Official Men’s Double Ton Slim Fit Leather Jacket

Oh, Harley, we will never stop loving you, no matter who tries to take your place. This official men’s slim fit leather motorcycle jacket for men is equally at home donning the ladies as well, but you didn’t hear it from us. Crafted from washed and waxed leather, with dirty leather appliqué graphics and patch, it has the classic weathered look we know and adore. It features a two way-zippered front and the usual zippered cuffs as well as two interior pockets. This slim-fitting lightweight cowhide fits nice and tight on the body and makes a great gift no matter who you are.

9. Dealer Leather Men’s Riding Reflective Skulls Crossover Leather Jacket

While leather in itself is cool enough, the reflective skulls kick this up several notches to make a bold statement.  Made of top-quality naked cowhide leather, it is brandished with reflective skulls and reflective piping on the arms chest and back.  If you don’t want to stand out, this is not the jacket for you. However, if you like all eyes upon you when you enter the room, we think you’re going to love this signature look. Zippered cuffs, a slick racing collar, and two concealed gun pockets complete the look.

10. Calvin Klein Men’s Leather Open Bottom Jacket

Calvin Klein’s open bottomed classic is simple, yet sexy with its single flat welt chest pocket, stand collar, and open cuffs. Made from 100% imported leather, it is available in sizes from small to 2 x and zips closed. Two interior pockets allow you to stash your goods discreetly, and the single-entry hand pockets zip shut for a sleek and sophisticated look.
