This is the women's tan leather biker jacket for anyone who wants the vintage look without hunting through secondhand rails.

The Brando shape, explained
A Brando jacket is defined by a few details, and this one keeps all of them. The zip sits off-centre so it runs diagonally across the chest, which lets the top fold open into wide lapels instead of closing at the throat. The belt at the hem buckles at the side rather than the front. There is a snap-down collar tab, angled zip pockets at the chest and hip, and a zip at each cuff. Every one of those started as a practical feature on early motorcycle jackets and every one still does its job here.
What makes the women's version different is the cut. The shoulders are narrower, the waist is drawn in, and the body length stops at the hip rather than below it, so belting the waist actually shapes the jacket instead of bunching it.
The tan finish and why it ages well
The cognac tan is a waxed vintage finish, which means the colour is not flat. It is deeper in the creases and lighter across the panels that catch light, and it will keep moving in that direction as you wear it. Elbows, cuffs and the area around the belt lighten first. Within a year the jacket looks like something you have owned for five, which is the whole point of buying tan rather than black.
If you prefer a colour that stays exactly as it arrives, black is the safer choice and you will find plenty of it in our Women Leather Jackets range. Tan is for people who want the jacket to record where it has been.
Build quality
The hide is full-grain rather than corrected split, so the natural surface texture is intact and the leather will soften instead of cracking. Stitching is double-run at the shoulders and side seams. Zips are metal-tooth throughout, including the cuffs, and the belt hardware is solid rather than plated pot metal. The lining is a smooth polyester twill that lets the jacket slide on over a jumper without catching, and there is an interior pocket at the chest.
This is a made-to-order product, so the jacket is cut for the size you pick rather than pulled from a bin. That is also why we can price it honestly: no warehouse of unsold stock to pay for.
Fit, sizing and styling
The fit is slim. Take your normal size if you wear a shirt or thin knit underneath, and go up one size if you want room for a thick jumper. The belt gives you a little adjustment either way. Sleeves are cut slightly long on purpose so the cuff zips sit correctly at the wrist when your arms are forward.
Tan is easier to style than people expect. It works with white, cream, navy and grey, and it looks better with blue denim than black leather does. Over a plain tee with straight jeans and boots it is a complete outfit. Over a midi dress it does the same job a trench coat would, with more attitude. For a longer silhouette, our Leather Trench Coats cover the same ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really 100% leather?
Yes. The shell is 100% real leather with a waxed vintage finish. The lining is polyester twill.
Will the tan colour rub off?
No. It is a dyed and waxed finish, not a surface coating. It will lighten naturally at the wear points over time, which is the intended look.
Is the belt removable?
The belt runs through loops at the hem and can be taken off if you prefer the jacket without it.
What size should I order?
Your normal size for a shirt or thin knit underneath, one size up if you layer a thick jumper. Choose Custom if you are between sizes.
Is this a real motorcycle jacket?
It is a fashion biker jacket built on the classic Brando pattern. It does not include CE armour or armour pockets.
How long until it ships?
It is made to order after you buy, so allow a couple of weeks including free shipping. Tracking is sent when it dispatches.
How do I look after tan leather?
Wipe with a dry cloth, keep it out of direct heat, and use a neutral leather conditioner twice a year. Avoid coloured polishes, which can patch the finish.
