12 leather gifts for men he'll actually use
1. Men's Lambskin Black Motorcycle Leather Jacket
Best first leather jacket. If he doesn't own a leather jacket yet, start here. It's a clean black biker cut in soft lambskin with a zip front and pockets for his phone, wallet and keys. Black goes with everything he already wears, so it won't sit in the wardrobe.

2. Men's Bruno Cognac Biker Racer Leather Jacket
Best for the man who always wears black. Bruno is a racer-style biker jacket in genuine cognac leather. The warm brown is a nice change from black and looks great with blue denim, white tees and brown boots.

3. Men's Samuel Brown Leather Cafe Racer Jacket
Best café racer. A café racer is the simplest leather jacket shape: short, slim and with very little hardware. Samuel is cut from distressed brown sheepskin leather with YKK zips, two side pockets and two inside pockets. It looks lived-in from day one and only gets better.

4. Men's Distressed Brown G1 Aviator Bomber Jacket

5. Men's Blue Hooded Leather Jacket
Best for the guy who lives in hoodies. A genuine leather bomber in blue with a built-in hood. It gives a hoodie-and-jeans man a smarter layer without making him change how he dresses, and the hood helps on breezy days.

6. Men's Herman Brown Leather Puffer Jacket
Best for cold mornings. Herman mixes a slim leather jacket with puffer-style padded panels, so it's warmer than a regular biker without looking bulky. It's distressed brown sheepskin with YKK zips and a handy chest pocket.

7. Men's Black B-6 Bomber Jacket with Faux Shearling Collar
Best winter bomber. A compact B-6 flight bomber in black leather with a cream faux shearling collar, lining, cuffs and hem. The collar has a throat strap to keep the wind out. It's a cosy, practical gift for anyone facing a proper winter.

8. Men's Tan Suede Trucker Jacket with Faux Shearling Collar
Best suede option. Suede feels softer and more casual than smooth leather. This tan trucker jacket has a snap front, chest flap pockets and a cream faux shearling collar and lining. Suede needs a little care, so add a suede brush and protector spray if you want to round out the gift.

9. Nico Men's Distressed Stand Collar Leather Vest
Best leather vest. A vest is a great gift for a man who runs warm or wants to layer. Nico is distressed leather in a blackish brown, with a stand-up collar, front zip, flap chest pockets and a back belt. Wear it over a tee or an oxford shirt, or under a jacket.

10. Men's Brown Leather Winter Car Coat

11. Men's Vintage Brown Leather Detective Coat with Belt
Best long leather coat. A long belted coat in vintage brown leather, with a suit-style collar and a smooth lining. It closes with the belt rather than buttons (buttons can be added on request). This is the most dramatic piece on the list, made for the man who likes a bit of presence.

12. Henry Men's Black Premium Leather Blazer

Tips for buying a leather gift
- Look at what he already wears. A man in jeans and boots will get the most from a biker, café racer or bomber. If he wears shirts and trousers most days, a car coat or leather blazer will see more use.
- Get the size right. Check one of his favourite jackets for the size, or measure it flat across the chest. Leather should feel snug at first and will soften with wear. Our leather jacket size guide explains how to measure, and custom sizing is available if he's between sizes.
- Not sure between a bomber and a biker? Our bomber vs biker guide explains the difference in a few minutes.
- Think about his winter. If it gets properly cold where he lives, pick a faux shearling style like the B-6 bomber or the suede trucker, the padded Herman, or the lined car coat.
- Order early. Every order ships tracked, so you can follow it to the door. If the fit isn't right, returns and exchanges can be requested within 30 days of delivery under our return policy.

Leather gift questions
Are these real leather? Yes. Every piece on this list has a real leather or suede outer. Where a jacket has shearling at the collar or lining, it's faux shearling.
What if I get the size wrong? Check the size guide before you order and use custom sizing if he's between sizes. If it still doesn't fit, you can request a return or exchange within 30 days of delivery.
Is there a sale coming? Our Christmas Sale starts on December 1 with up to 30% off. The prices above are what you'll see on the site today.
How do I look after a leather gift? Wipe it with a soft dry cloth, hang it on a wide hanger, keep it away from direct heat and condition the leather a few times a year. Never machine wash it.
