Handmade Mens Black Fashion Punk Style Studded Leather Jacket Biker Jacket

This handmade black punk studded leather jacket is the classic biker shell with studs set across the shoulders, sleeves, and lapels. Punk styling on leather is nearly fifty years old now and the details have hardly changed, because the originals were made by hand out of ordinary hardware and there was never much to improve. It sits in our men leather jackets range and the leather collection.

• Material: Genuine leather
• Fit: Regular biker fit
• Closure: Asymmetric front zip
• Color: Black with metal studs
• Care: Dry cloth around hardware, condition twice a year

Where studded leather jackets came from

The look began in the mid-1970s with people customising surplus and second-hand biker jackets themselves — hardware-store studs, hand-punched holes, no plan. That homemade origin is why authentic punk studding is asymmetric and slightly irregular rather than laid out in perfect rows. Machine-perfect studding looks wrong precisely because the original never was. The studs on this jacket are hand-set for the same reason, which means small variations between jackets are intended, not defects.

Hand-setting versus gluing

A properly set stud goes through a punched hole with its prongs folded flat behind the panel. A glued stud sits on the surface and eventually comes away — usually the first time the jacket rubs against a car seat. You can check which you have on any studded jacket by feeling the lining behind a stud: a set stud leaves a small flat bump you can feel. There should be no bump on a glued one, and no jacket worth buying is glued.

Adding your own

Plenty of owners add to a studded jacket over time, which is entirely in keeping with the tradition. If you do, work on the upper panels where the jacket is supported, use set studs rather than glue, and expect to open the lining at the hem to fold the prongs — which is why the lining here is stitched at the hem rather than bonded.

Wearing it

Plain black or indigo denim, plain boots, nothing else competing. Worn open almost always. This is a jacket that gets better as it collects marks, so wearing it hard is the point.

Clear statement: fashion jacket only. No armour, no armour pockets, no safety certification, not sold as riding gear.

Sizing and made to order

Measure your chest over a T-shirt — leather relaxes with wear, so buy it fitting close rather than loose. Sizes run XS to 5XL, with Custom available for your own measurements. Each jacket is cut and studded after the order comes in.
