Double Breasted Leather Jackets

The double breasted leather jacket originally had a strong association with classic motorcycle clothing. Its distinctive overlapping front, broad lapels and asymmetric fastening were originally developed with practical riding in mind, helping to shield the wearer from wind while seated on a motorcycle. Over time the design became one of the most recognisable shapes in general leather outerwear.

Many of the best-known styles emerged during the mid-twentieth century, and the double breasted front gave these garments both function and presence, creating a silhouette that remains largely unchanged today. A double breasted leather jacket or coat, such as the Aero Barnstormer, will make a smart and timeless addition to your wardrobe. 

At Aero, our double breasted leather jackets are built with the same emphasis on durability and authenticity that defined the originals. Each jacket is handmade in Scotland using carefully selected full-grain leathers, including horsehide and steerhide, chosen for their strength and character.

These heavier hides can feel firm at first, but with time they soften and develop a natural patina that reflects years of wear. The result is a jacket that gradually becomes unique to its owner — a piece of leather clothing rooted in traditional design and made to last for decades.
