Biker Leather Jackets

Biker leather jackets for women

Few jackets carry as much character as the biker jacket – and few are as adaptable. What once belonged on a motorbike now works with jeans and trainers just as well as with a dress. A women's biker leather jacket from Hollert brings that versatility to a premium level: genuine leather, careful workmanship and cuts that follow the silhouette.

Soft lamb nappa, bold looks

Lamb nappa is among the most supple leathers there is: the hide is thin and finely grained, so it settles around the shoulder almost like fabric and still stands up to daily wear. That is exactly where the appeal of the biker style comes from – a tough look with a buttery feel. Because the leather darkens slightly along the edges that see the most use, the jacket gains presence year after year rather than simply ageing.

The signature biker details

The character of these jackets comes from recurring features: a diagonal or slightly offset front zip with a storm flap, topstitching at the shoulders, zips at the cuffs and chest and side pockets. Depending on the model there may be a dropped lapel with press studs, or a removable quilted lining for the mid-season. The biker character stays recognisable throughout, yet reads a little differently from one cut to the next.

How to wear a biker jacket

With jeans the biker jacket reads relaxed, over a summer dress it deliberately breaks the romance, and with a business look it makes a confident statement. Ankle boots and slim trousers give the classic rock look, white trainers the modern casual version. When trying one on, look at the length: a jacket that ends at the narrowest point of the waist lengthens the silhouette. Smooth leather asks for little care – a conditioner now and then, and never a washing machine.
