Black Padded Biker Leather Jacket for Men

Men’s Black Padded Leather Biker Jacket

Black leather with padded panels built into the shoulders, the elbows and down the back in a chevron pattern. It has the outline of a riding jacket and the finish of one you would wear off the bike.

What padded means on this jacket

The padding is sewn into the leather panels themselves. You can see it across the back in stacked chevrons, and over the shoulders and elbows. It gives the jacket shape and a little cushioning. People search for a padded biker jacket or a padded leather jacket, and this is the look they mean.

Padded, not armoured

Worth being plain about. This is padding, not certified protective armour. It will not protect you the way approved motorcycle kit does in a fall. If you ride, wear proper protective gear underneath or instead.

What it is made of

Real leather with a viscose lining. Viscose is the smooth lining that lets a jacket go on over a jumper without gripping your sleeves.

Collar, zips and six pockets

A snap tab collar that fastens at the neck. A zip runs up the front and the cuffs zip too. Four pockets on the outside and two more inside.

Sizing

The padding adds a little bulk at the shoulders and back. Measure round the fullest part of your chest over a t shirt and check the table on this page. Sizes run XS to 3XL.

Looking after it

Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and condition it once a year. Hang it on a broad hanger so the padded shoulders keep their shape. Keep it off radiators.
