Handmade Men Black Punk Rock Studded Jacket
This is the men's punk rock jacket done properly: a heavy black leather biker shell with hand-set studs across the shoulders, lapels and sleeves. It is cut fuller through the chest and shoulders than our women's studded jackets, with a longer body, so the hardware sits on a bigger canvas and the whole jacket reads heavier. Every stud goes through the hide by hand and is backed on the reverse.

Punk, and why the build matters
Punk jackets get worn hard. They get slept in, thrown in vans, leaned against walls at gigs, and repaired rather than replaced. A studded jacket that sheds hardware after six months is no use to anyone who actually wears one, which is why the construction here is more important than the look.
Studs are set individually and closed against backing washers, so the prongs bear on the washer rather than on the leather. Seams are double stitched and reinforced at the shoulders, where the metal load concentrates. The hide is heavy enough to take patch stitching later if you add to it, which most people eventually do.
The men's cut
Fuller across the chest and shoulders than a women's pattern, with a longer body that covers the belt line and sleeves cut for a straight arm rather than a shaped one. Asymmetric front zip, fold-back lapels, snap collar tab, zipped chest and hip pockets, zip cuffs — the standard biker layout, all of it functional.
Fully lined so the reverse of every stud is covered. There is an inside chest pocket.
Fit and wearing it
Take your normal size over a t-shirt or thin knit. Studded panels have little give, so size up if you plan to wear a hoodie underneath — and most people do, so read that carefully before ordering.
The jacket is heavy. That is the point, and after the first week you stop noticing. Wear it with black jeans and boots and let it do the work. For more hardware, see the rest of our Studded Leather Jackets; for plain leather, our Men Leather Jackets.
Sizes and made to order
Each jacket is cut and studded after you order, in the size you choose. Standard sizes are XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL, plus Custom. Hand studding takes considerably longer than plain stitching. For Custom, send chest, waist, sleeve and back length after checkout. Free worldwide shipping and secure checkout are included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the studs hand set?
Yes, each one individually, closed against a backing washer on the reverse so it does not work through the hide.
Can I add patches to it later?
Yes. The hide is heavy enough to take patch stitching, and the back panel is left clear for that.
Is the leather real?
Yes, heavy real leather chosen to carry hardware and take hard wear.
Can I wear a hoodie underneath?
Only if you size up. Studded panels have very little give, so take the next size if you layer.
Is it heavy?
Yes, noticeably heavier than a plain leather jacket. That weight is what makes it hang correctly.
How long does it take to make?
Longer than a plain jacket because of the hand studding. We confirm the timeline after you order; shipping is free.
How do I look after it?
Dry cloth on the leather, dry buff on the studs, especially after damp weather. Never machine wash, soak or dry clean.
