Leather jacket types

Naturally, if you’re buying a custom-made leather jacket then you’ll want one that suits your personal style. But with such a wide range of jackets to choose from, it can be tricky to decide which type is right for you. A good way to figure this out is to consider every part of the jacket: the style, yes, but also the material and the fit.

When it comes to classic leather jackets, we at Aero Leather Clothing are the experts. If you’re able to visit our workshop in the Scottish Borders, we’ll happily book you in for an appointment to discuss the different options we offer and take your measurements in person. However, this buyer’s guide is a great backup option – read on and we’ll help you to order your leather jacket with confidence.

Here at Aero, we are often asked why our made-to-order leather jackets cost more than a typical high street leather jacket. Here are the main reasons:

Let's take a look at some of those big names and the iconic leather jackets they wore...
