Real Black Leather studded jacket For Women

Real Black Leather studded jacket For Women

The word that matters in this title is real. There are a lot of studded jackets sold in coated fabric and split leather, and they behave completely differently: hardware works loose, the surface cracks around each fixing, and the whole thing is finished in two seasons. This is premium hide with studs set by hand and backed on the reverse, which is what a studded jacket has to be if it is going to last.

• Material: 100% premium real leather with hand-set studs
• Fit: Womens biker fit
• Closure: Front zip with two side pockets
• Color: Black
• Care: Dry cloth on the leather, buff the metal dry, never soak

Real hide against coated fabric

A stud is a mechanical fixing pushed through a material and folded closed behind it. On real leather the fibres compress around it and grip; on a coated fabric the surface simply splits, and once it splits the stud has nothing to hold onto.

That is why coated studded jackets shed hardware and real ones do not, and it is the single most useful thing to know when comparing two that look identical online. If a studded jacket does not say what the shell is made of, that is usually the answer.

How the studs are set

Each one is pushed through a punched hole and its prongs folded flat against a backing washer on the reverse. The washer is what spreads the load — without it the prongs bear directly on the hide and saw through it as the jacket flexes, until the stud drops out and leaves a hole.

Machine pressing skips the washer because it is faster. Doing it by hand takes hours, and it is the reason this jacket costs more and takes longer to make than a plain one.

Fit and weight

A womens biker cut, shaped through the waist and ending at the hip. Take your normal size over a tee or thin knit. Studded panels have very little give, so size up if you plan to wear anything thicker underneath — that is the most common sizing mistake on studded jackets.

It is heavier than a plain leather jacket because metal adds weight. Most owners find that reassuring rather than tiring; it is also what makes the jacket hang properly rather than draping.

Living with it

Studs catch on knitwear and upholstery, so hang it on a wide hanger with space around it rather than crushing it into a wardrobe. Buff the metal dry after damp weather. Never soak a studded jacket — water sitting behind a washer is the one thing that will loosen a properly set stud.

Wear it with black jeans, boots and a plain top. See the rest of our Women Studded Leather Jackets, or our Women Leather Jackets for plain leather.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I tell a real leather studded jacket from a coated one?

Coated fabric splits around each fixing, so hardware works loose within a couple of seasons. Real hide grips the stud. If a listing does not say what the shell is, that is usually the answer.

Are the studs set by hand?

Yes, each one individually and closed against a backing washer, which is what stops the prongs cutting through the hide.

Is it heavy?

Heavier than a plain leather jacket. The weight is what makes it hang properly.

What size should I order?

Your normal size over a tee or thin knit. Size up to layer, since studded panels barely give.

Can I get it wet?

Light rain is fine — wipe it and buff the metal dry. Never soak a studded jacket; water behind a washer is what loosens a stud.

How should I store it?

On a wide hanger with space either side. Studs mark whatever they are pressed against.

How long does it take to make?

Longer than a plain jacket, because the hardware is hand set. Free shipping is included.
