High quality motorcycle leather jackets provide excellent resistance to abrasion. No other material quite matches leather in this respect, although modern textiles are very protective. Leather is still the material used for suits by motorcycle racers. Leather also has the advantage of being very long lasting if cared for properly – a good leather motorcycle jacket can still look great after many years.

The most commonly used leather in jackets is cowhide. The quality of the grain and finished thickness varies depending on how leather is processed. Our jackets are made using only high quality grains and typical thicknesses are in the region of 1.2 to 1.4mm, which is optimum for performance and comfort. The JTS Leon leather jacket is an outstanding leather motorcycle jacket that’s certain to be appreciated by even the most stylish of riders. It is AAA rated and is made from Cowhide leather, available in sizes 38 - 58 inch chest. The JTS Roco leather jacket is made from Goatskin. This leather is lighter than cowhide and is more stretchy, making it a more comfortable and lighter option. We also have a great classic design of the Marlon Brando leather jacket. This has full level 2 armour included and is made from a soft matt cowhide.

Leather is not waterproof, so while it can keep you dry for a short while, rain is likely to soak through eventually. The leather can be treated with dubbin that will help prevent it getting too wet.

There are many different styles available – including retro, custom and sports. All jackets have CE approved level 1 or level 2 elbow and shoulder protection as standard and some also include a back protector or if not, then a back protector pocket so one can be fitted.
