Brown Leather Jackets

Brown has taken over the last two seasons, and there is a practical reason as well as a fashion one. Brown warms up your face where black flattens it, and it is the one leather that genuinely looks better after a few years than it did new.

Tan, cognac, chocolate and dark brown

These four names cover most of what you will see. Tan is the lightest and shows marks soonest. Cognac has an orange warmth to it and photographs beautifully. Chocolate is the deep one that reads almost black in low light. Dark brown sits just above it. A dark brown leather jacket is the safest of the four if this is your first.

The brown leather jackets we make

A mens brown leather jacket covers the same shapes as black. Biker, cafe racer, bomber and high collar. Brown also suits suede better than any other colour, and it is the standard colour for a sheepskin flying jacket. Women get the same range plus cropped and belted cuts.

Distressed or clean brown leather

A distressed brown leather jacket has been rubbed back at the seams, cuffs and elbows so it arrives looking like you have owned it a while. Clean brown leather starts even and picks up its own marks over the first year. Neither is more hard wearing. It comes down to having the history built in or putting it there yourself.

Brown leather jackets with fur and shearling

Brown is the original colour for anything with wool in it. A brown leather jacket with fur at the collar, or a full sheepskin one with fleece through the body, is the warmest thing we sell. The women’s shearling jackets run the same way.

Buying a brown leather jacket online in the UK

Most of our brown jackets sit between one hundred and twenty and two hundred pounds, with the sheepskin ones going higher because a whole hide costs more than a panel of leather. Delivery is free anywhere in the UK and you have 14 days to send it back. Colour on a screen is never exact, so if the shade matters, the product page tells you which of the four it is.

Can you get next day delivery on a brown leather jacket?

No, and it is worth being straight about why. Your jacket is cut and stitched in your size after you order it, so there is nothing sitting in a warehouse to post the same afternoon. The real timescale is on every product page as an actual date rather than a vague range. If you need it for a particular day, work back from that date.

What size brown leather jacket to buy

Measure the fullest part of your chest over a shirt and check the table on the product page. Leather jackets are cut closer than high street coats, so your usual size is a starting point rather than an answer. Between sizes with a jumper to fit underneath, go up.

Looking after brown leather

Brown marks more visibly than black, particularly the lighter shades. Keep a leather conditioner in the house and use it twice a year. Wipe rain off rather than letting it dry in place. Wide hanger, away from radiators, and out of direct sunlight, because sun fades tan faster than anything else.
