Men’s Black Orange Cropped Biker Leather Jacket

Men’s Black and Orange Cropped Biker Jacket

Black with bright orange panels sweeping over the chest and shoulders, cut short at the waist. It is a racing jacket in its shape and its colours, and it is meant to be the loudest thing you are wearing.

Black and orange, or orange and black?

Searched both ways round. A black and orange leather jacket, an orange and black leather jacket, a black and orange biker jacket. Black is the main body and orange is the panelling, so from the front it reads mostly black with orange flashes.

The racing panels

The orange sweeps in curves over the shoulders and down towards the waist, with more orange running down the sleeves. That shaping is taken from racing leathers, where colour panels follow the body rather than sitting as blocks.

A cropped cut on a man’s jacket

It finishes at the waist rather than the hip. People search for a mens cropped biker jacket or a cropped moto jacket, and this is the shorter shape they mean. It suits a high waisted trouser and works best with the jacket zipped.

Collar and zip

A short stand collar and a zip straight up the front. The collar stays up and the zip lets you layer it over a t shirt or a thin knit.

Sizing

A cropped jacket is sized at the chest and the shoulders. 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 it with a damp cloth when it needs it. Never put it in a washing machine or near a radiator. Keep it out of long sunlight, which fades orange faster than black.
