Collection: Leather jackets for men

Leather jackets are not only extremely practical, they are also a classic and iconic part of motorcycling culture! As a material, leather is known to be extremely hard-wearing and, with the right care, extremely durable. A well-maintained leather jacket can last a decade of active use! Leather jackets offer excellent protection against wear and tear, weather conditions and possible accident situations. Read our care instructions below!

How does a leather driving jacket differ from a normal fashion jacket?

In many ways, while leather fashion jackets are certainly safer than driving without a jacket, they still fall far behind in terms of the quality of materials and the durability of the jacket itself in the event of an accident. All of the biker leather jackets we sell have CE approval, which ensures that the jacket design has been tested to meet safety standards. MP leather jackets feature, among other things, higher quality and more wear-resistant leather, multiple reinforced seams, pockets for all necessary CE protection (elbow, shoulder, back, chest) and other features that benefit motorcycling such as air conditioning.

CE-approved armour such as shoulder, elbow and back protectors are essential equipment to protect the body in the event of a collision and are not available in standard fashion jackets. Back protection is particularly important and should be part of every biker's kit. Elbow and shoulder protectors come with the jackets, but back armour should be purchased separately.

The timeless design and detailing of classic leather jackets ensures style, versatility and safety, or if you're looking for a more modern-looking jacket to complement your sportbike, sporty jackets work perfectly for this.

Maintaining your motorcycle leather jacket is important to ensure its longevity and functionality. Here are key maintenance tips:

1. Cleaning

- Regularly wipe the jacket with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.

- If necessary, use a mild leather soap or a cleaner specifically designed for leather. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the leather.

- Allow the coat to dry at room temperature, but avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators.

2. Leather care

- Apply a suitable leather conditioner or a suitable wax such as beeswax about 2-3 times a year. This prevents the leather from drying out and cracking. This should be done at least at the end and beginning of the season.

- Rub the conditioner with a soft cloth in a circular motion and allow it to absorb thoroughly before use. Be sure to consult the instructions for use for each individual product.

3. Protection

- Treat your coat with a water-repellent spray, especially if you ride frequently in damp conditions. This will protect the leather from moisture and dirt.

- Store the jacket in a dry and well-ventilated place. Do not fold the jacket for long-term storage, but rather use a hanger.

4. Inspections and repairs

- Regularly check the jacket's seams, zips and armour. Repair any damage in good time to prevent it from getting worse. Eurobiker offers repair services, ask for more information!

- If your jacket has removable armour, check it regularly. The shield should not crack or feel rock hard.

5. Avoid these mistakes

- Do not use ordinary detergents or immerse your leather jacket in water.

- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the colour.

- Do not store your jacket in plastic bags or in tight spaces, as leather needs to breathe air.

With these simple maintenance measures, your motorcycle leather jacket will stay in good condition and last for years of use.
