Handmade Mens Black Fashion Studded Punk Style Leather Jacket
This handmade men's black studded punk leather jacket is a real hide biker shell with hand-set studs.

Why the zip decides how long a leather jacket lasts
Leather outlives almost everything attached to it. A hide shell can be sound after twenty years while the zip has long since given up, and a broken zip is what sends most old jackets to the back of a wardrobe. The variables are gauge and material: a light nylon coil zip is fine on a shirt and wrong on a leather jacket, where the panels are heavy and pull against the slider every time you move. This jacket uses a heavy-gauge metal zip for that reason.
Looking after a zip
Two habits. First, close it before hanging or storing the jacket — an open zip lets the front panels pull apart and stretch, and it puts the tape under a diagonal load it was not designed for. Second, run a little candle wax or a proper zip lubricant along the teeth once a year; it stops the slider dragging, which is what eventually splits the teeth. If a slider does wear out, a cobbler or leather workshop can usually replace just the slider rather than the whole zip — far cheaper, and worth asking for.
The rest of the jacket
Studs are punched through the leather with the prongs folded flat behind the panel and covered by a stitched lining, never glued. They are concentrated on the shoulders and lapels, where the jacket is structurally supported.
Stated clearly: this is a fashion jacket. No armour, no armour pockets, no safety certification, and not sold as motorcycle protective equipment.
Sizing and made to order
Measure your chest over a T-shirt and buy close — leather relaxes with wear and will not shrink back. Sizes run XS to 5XL, with Custom taking chest, waist, shoulder, sleeve, and body length. Every jacket is cut and studded after your order.
