Women's Cafe Racer Leather Jackets

A women’s cafe racer leather jacket is the quiet alternative to a biker. The zip runs straight up the middle, the collar is a short band that stands at the neck, and there are no lapels to fold back. Nothing about it is trying to be noticed, which is exactly why it goes with more than a biker does.

Why pick this over a biker jacket

A biker jacket has wide lapels that sit open across the chest. That looks great over a plain top and fights with anything that has a collar or a neckline of its own. A cafe racer leather jacket womens cut keeps the front flat and closed, so it works over a shirt, a roll neck or a dress without arguing with it.

The band collar

The short standing collar is the defining detail. It keeps the neckline clean and sits close to the throat, which is warmer than an open lapel and tidier under a scarf. If you want that line without any collar at all, look at our collarless leather jackets.

Black, brown and burgundy

Black is the obvious first one. Brown and tan suit the vintage shape better and have been selling harder these last two seasons. Burgundy is the one to pick if you already own black.

How it should fit

Close through the shoulder and body. There is no belt at the hem to pull it in, so a cafe racer that is too big has nothing holding it and loses its shape. The shoulder seam should sit on the corner of your shoulder. Room for a fine jumper underneath is right.

Measure round the fullest part of your bust over a light top and check the table on the product page. Between sizes with something to layer, take the larger.

Made to order, and how long it takes

Cut and stitched in your size after you order, so it takes longer than ready made stock. The date on the product page is real and UK delivery is free. See also our cropped jackets, suede jackets and the full women’s range.
