Leather Jackets

Buying a leather jacket: genuine leather instead of imitation

Choosing a leather jacket is a decision for years to come – provided the material is right. Genuine leather is a natural hide: it takes on body warmth, moves with you and builds a patina over time that no synthetic can imitate. At Hollert German Leather, lamb nappa and suede set the tone – the one buttery and smooth, the other velvety and matt. This overview page brings the range for women and men together; if you already know what you are after, go straight to one of the sections.

Leather jackets for women

With women's leather jackets the cut does most of the work. A short, close-fitting silhouette draws attention to the waist and sits well with a dress or high-waisted trousers, while a wider, straighter cut reads relaxed and leaves room for a jumper underneath. Soft leathers such as lamb nappa drape rather than stand away from the body, so even a cropped jacket adds no bulk. Colours stay deliberately muted and close to nature, which makes the jacket easy to slot into a wardrobe you already own.

Leather jackets for men

Timeless silhouettes set the tone among the men's leather jackets – from the safari style and the shirt-like overshirt to the classic blouson. Depending on the model you will find patch pockets, an adjustable belt buckle or a lining; what the cuts share is a quiet line that is not tied to one season. Here too, the closer the colour sits to a muted natural tone, the longer the jacket stays wearable.

Winter, mid-season and care

In milder months the jacket works on its own; for cold days a lined cut pays off – depending on the model with a fixed or a removable quilted lining. Care asks for little: leather never goes in the washing machine, an occasional conditioner keeps it supple, and after rain it dries in the air rather than on a radiator. If you prefer shearling to smooth leather, the women's shearling jackets offer warm alternatives – and the men's coats and jackets hold further companions for cold days.
