Yellow & Black Mens Leather Jacket

Men’s Yellow and Black Leather Jacket

A yellow body with black panels running over the shoulders and down the sides. The black does the shaping and the yellow does the talking. A standing collar keeps the neckline clean instead of breaking it with lapels.

Yellow, mustard or gold?

The shade sits deeper than a bright yellow. Indoors it reads gold or mustard, outdoors it lifts and reads properly yellow. Worth knowing if you searched for a mustard leather jacket and landed here, because this is very likely the one you meant. Searched as a black and yellow leather jacket or a yellow and black jacket, it is the same garment either way round.

What it is made of

Genuine leather with a satin lining. The sleeves carry zip detailing along them, which is where the biker influence shows. A YKK zip closes the front.

The standing collar

It sits up at the neck rather than folding down. That is what stops a two colour jacket looking fussy, because there are no lapels competing with the panels. It also means you can zip it right to the top and block the wind. The rest of our high collar and funnel neck jackets use the same idea in plainer colours.

Who this actually suits

Yellow leather is not a background jacket and it never will be. It works if the rest of what you wear is plain. Black jeans, a plain t shirt, and let the jacket be the whole outfit. Put it with anything patterned and the two fight. If you want the shape without the colour, the black leather jackets cover it.

Sizing

The panelled construction means more seams than a plain jacket, and seams hold their shape. Measure round the fullest part of your chest over a t shirt and use the table on this page rather than your usual high street size. Sizes run XS to 3XL.

Looking after it

Yellow shows marks that black hides, so wipe them off while they are fresh with a damp cloth and cold water. Condition the leather once or twice a year. Keep it out of strong sunlight, which fades bright colours faster than it fades black. Never dry it on a radiator.
