Men's Black Vintage Biker Style Waxed Sheep Skin Fashion Jacket

Men's Black Vintage Biker Style Waxed Sheep Skin Fashion Jacket

This men's black vintage biker jacket is made in waxed sheep leather — a soft, light hide finished with a wax treatment that changes both how it looks and how it handles weather. Waxed leather is a different proposition from an ordinary finish, and worth understanding before you buy. It sits in our men fashion leather jackets and men leather jackets ranges.

• Material: Genuine sheep leather with a waxed finish
• Fit: Vintage biker cut
• Closure: Front zip
• Color: Black
• Care: Wipe clean, re-wax rather than condition, never dry-clean

What waxing does to leather

Wax is worked into the surface of the hide, where it fills the grain and sits as a light barrier. Three effects follow. The finish becomes slightly matt with a faint sheen that shifts as the leather moves. Light rain beads on the surface instead of soaking straight in — not waterproof, but noticeably more resistant than an untreated hide. And the surface marks and scuffs readily, which is deliberate: waxed leather is meant to look used, and the marks can largely be rubbed back out with a warm finger or a soft cloth.

Re-waxing, not conditioning

This is the key difference in care. An ordinary leather conditioner will soften the finish and lift the wax, dulling the surface unevenly. Waxed leather is maintained by re-waxing — a leather wax or dubbin, applied thinly with a cloth, worked in with the warmth of your hands, once a year or when the finish looks tired. Focus on the areas that see the most rain: shoulders, upper sleeves, and collar. Never dry-clean waxed leather; the solvents strip the wax completely.

Sheep leather in a biker cut

Sheep leather is thinner and softer than cowhide, so a biker jacket made in it is far lighter and needs almost no breaking in. The trade-off is durability — this is a jacket for wearing, not for hard use. The wax adds a little surface resilience, which is part of why the two are paired.

Stated plainly: a fashion jacket. No armour, no safety certification, not sold as motorcycle protective equipment.

Sizing and made to order

Measure your chest over a T-shirt. Sheep leather relaxes quickly, so buy close rather than roomy. Sizes run XS to 5XL, with Custom taking chest, waist, shoulder, sleeve, and body length. Made after your order arrives.
