Japanese Workwear Retro High Street Biker Leather Jacket

Japanese Workwear Style Varsity Jacket in Faux Leather

Black faux leather with white contrast panels across the shoulders, striped ribbing at the collar, cuffs and hem, and press studs down the front. It is cut boxy and relaxed, the way Japanese workwear and streetwear have made popular.

Faux leather, said plainly

This jacket is faux leather, not real hide. It is lighter than leather, needs no conditioning and costs less. If you searched for a japanese leather jacket and want genuine leather, our other jackets are the place to look. If the look matters more than the hide, this is it.

What Japanese workwear style means here

It describes the cut rather than where it was made. A wide, boxy body, dropped shoulders and a relaxed fit are the hallmarks. The contrast panels and ribbing come from the varsity jacket, so it sits somewhere between workwear and a baseball jacket.

Varsity, bomber or biker?

The shape is a varsity or bomber, with a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem and no lapels. People search for a japanese biker jacket too, but there is no off centre zip or belt here. It is the rounder, softer varsity outline.

The panels and the ribbing

White panels run over the shoulders and the pocket edges are picked out in white. The ribbing is striped black and white, which ties the collar, cuffs and hem together.

Press studs and pockets

It fastens with press studs rather than a zip. Two pockets sit at the front sides. The lining is soft polyester.

Sizing

It is unisex and cut relaxed, so take your normal size for the boxy look, or go down one for a closer fit. Check the table on this page. Sizes run XS to 3XL.

Looking after faux leather

Wipe it with a damp cloth. It needs no conditioner. Keep it away from direct heat, which can crack the surface, and hang it rather than folding it.
