Women's leather jackets

The perfecto and its cousins

The leather jacket is one of the most timeless pieces in the wardrobe. The perfecto, the biker jacket with an asymmetrical zip and notched collar, originated in the United States in the late 1920s and has become a symbol of rock, worn both in films and on stage. The biker jacket takes on its codes, while the straight jacket, more understated, fastens with a central zip or buttons. All of them develop a patina and gain character over the years.

Other jackets

Puffer jackets and coats also come in various styles:

• Puffer jackets.

• Blazers.

All jackets can be found on the puffer jackets and coats page.

Real leather or faux leather

Real leather, whether lambskin, soft and light, or cowhide, thicker and sturdier, softens and develops a patina over time: jackets from Oakwood, a French leather specialist, Freaky Nation, or Sofie Schnoor focus on this noble material. Faux leather, like on the Only Ava and Gemma, mimics the look of leather in synthetic material, lighter and easier to maintain. The finishes vary: smooth leather, aged, or embossed crocodile effect, as seen in Mexx.

Wearing and caring

The leather jacket can be worn over a floral dress, jeans and a white t-shirt, or a knit jumper, for a contrast between rock and femininity. It should fit well at the shoulders, with sleeves coming to the wrist. For care, dust the leather with a soft cloth, nourish it twice a year with suitable lotion or balm, and protect it from rain with a waterproof spray. Hang it on a wide hanger, away from heat and direct sunlight.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in good plans, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24h are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a steady order: the Black Friday in late autumn, year-end holidays, winter sales, the French Days in spring, then summer sales and back to school.

Frequently asked questions

How to tell a leather jacket from a synthetic one?

Real leather has an irregular grain, a characteristic smell, and develops a patina over time. Synthetic jackets, like the Only Max or Kendra models, are lighter, more uniform, and easier to maintain.

Which leather jacket for a curvy woman?

A straight or slightly fitted jacket that stops at the hip structures the silhouette without cutting it off. Avoid overly short models and prefer soft leather that moves with you without marking.

How to clean a leather jacket?

Dust it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, never putting it in the washing machine. Once or twice a year, nourish the leather with a suitable lotion or cream to prevent it from drying out and cracking.

Which leather jacket to choose for a rock style?

The perfecto, with its asymmetrical zip, notched collar, and zips, remains the rock piece par excellence. Worn with black jeans and ankle boots, it makes a bold look.

What size should I get for a leather jacket?

Take your usual size: real leather stretches slightly with wear. Check that you can cross your arms and lift your shoulders without pulling on the seams, with a thin jumper underneath.
