Black Embossed Leather Studded Zip Front Jacket

Black Embossed Leather Studded Zip Front Jacket

The Black Embossed Leather Studded Zip Front Jacket combines two surface treatments that are rarely used together: an embossed grain pressed into the hide, and metal studs set through it. The result is a jacket with texture you can see from across a room, which is the whole point of it. It sits with our studded leather jackets and the wider men leather jackets range.

• Material: Genuine leather with an embossed grain
• Fit: Regular biker fit
• Closure: Full-length front zip
• Color: Black with metal studs
• Care: Dry wipe around the studs, condition twice a year, dry naturally

What embossed leather is

Embossing presses a pattern into the surface of the hide under heat and pressure — a crocodile texture, a fine pebble, a geometric grid. It is real leather, simply finished with a texture that the animal's own grain did not have. Embossing is used for two reasons: it creates a look that natural hide cannot, and it disguises minor surface variation, which means more of each hide can be used. Nothing about it makes the leather less genuine, and it should not be confused with printed synthetic material.

Studs, and how they are set

The studs here are set through the leather with the back plate closed behind the panel, not glued. Glued studs come off in the wash of ordinary wear — you see it on cheap jackets within a season. A properly set stud stays put and, if one ever does come loose, can be replaced individually. Because studs sit proud of the surface, clean around them with a dry cloth rather than a wet one, since moisture trapped at the base of a stud is what starts corrosion.

Wearing it

A textured, studded jacket is the loudest thing in any outfit, so everything else should be quiet: plain jeans or black trousers, simple boots, no competing hardware. Worn open over a plain tee is the standard way; zipped it becomes a wind layer for cool evenings.

To be clear: this is a fashion jacket. It has no armour, no armour pockets, and no safety certification, and it is not sold as motorcycle protective equipment.

They are set through the leather with closed backs rather than glued, so they hold. Individual studs can be replaced if needed.

How do I clean around the studs?

Use a dry cloth. Moisture trapped at the base of a stud can cause corrosion.

Is it lined?
