Men leather shirt
This Men leather shirt is the plain, everyday version of the style — no western yokes, no zip, no biker detailing. Just a shirt collar, a button-through front, two chest pockets, and buttoned cuffs, made in soft real leather. Worn buttoned it is a shirt; worn open over a tee it becomes a light overshirt, which is how most of our customers use it through spring and autumn. It sits within our men leather jackets range as the lightest piece we make.

Shirt weight, and what that number means for you
Leather is measured in ounces per square foot. Jacket leather usually runs around 2.5 to 3 ounces; shirt leather is closer to 1.5. That difference is why this garment folds at the elbow instead of creasing stiffly, and why it packs into a bag without holding a crease permanently. It also means it is not windproof in the way a jacket is, and it will show wear sooner at the cuffs and pocket edges. Both of those are the honest cost of a leather garment that behaves like a shirt.
Pockets and the front placket
Two patch pockets sit on the chest with buttoned flaps. On leather these have to be reinforced at the top corners, because a patch pocket in soft hide will otherwise sag once you put anything in it. The placket is doubled and edge-stitched so the button holes do not stretch — the most common failure point on a cheap leather shirt is an unreinforced button hole that widens after a season.
How to wear it
Tucked with dark jeans and boots it makes an evening outfit. Untucked and open over a T-shirt it reads casual. Under a wool coat it adds a layer without bulk at the shoulder. It is not a rain jacket, and heavy rain will mark soft leather, so treat it as a dry-weather piece.
Sizing and made to order
Order by your usual shirt chest size. If you like a looser overshirt fit, take one size up. Sizes run XS to 5XL, with a Custom option where you send chest, shoulder, sleeve, and body length. Each shirt is cut after the order is placed rather than pulled from stock.
