The Ten Best Leather (& Faux Leather) Jackets At Every Price Point

I’ve had this lamb skin leather jacket for years, and I know I’ll have it for a years to come.  The tanned leather gives it an incredibly comfortable fit, relaxed enough for both everyday wear and nights out on the town. I especially love the quilted moto detailing that gives this jacket its edge.  I sized up for a looser fit, so I suggest considering what size will ensure it’s a “Forever Piece” for you too. 

With long sleeves, a cinched waist and stand collar, this camel leather biker jacket is ready-to-wear cool.  It’s a steal, too, for genuine leather at an affordable price.  When the price tag goes down, typically the comfort (read: movability) does too.  But that’s not the case with this jacket; it has knit under-sleeve panels that really let you move. The camel color is classic, and it’s one you’ll be pairing with all your favorite #OOTDs this season and the next. 

I know what you’re thinking, Abercrombie & Fitch hasn’t been cool since junior high.  But this faux leather jacket makes a strong case for you to reconsider.  Kat recently snagged this find on crazy discount ($70) and has received dozens of compliments on it after only two wears.  The jacket’s faux leather is great imitation quality, and it feels soft and comfortable to wear (most faux leathers can feel a bit waxy and stiff, so be sure to try on before settling on your purchase). A&F FTW, friends. 

Another classic style from AllSaints, this soft lambskin jacket is made for a fitted look. Zip cuffs and buckle detailing add interest, while the stand collar gives it a sharp, sporty feel.  It’s available in “Battle Brown” and “Slate Blue”, two unique colors that will be sure to set you apart from the rest.  And again, you know you’re buying a “Forever Piece” when it’s coming from AllSaints.  

This fitted biker jacket from H&M has soft faux leather with the same quilted details you’ll find on jackets triple and quadruple its price.  Though, emphasis on faux; the thing can be machine washed (crazy, I know)!  This jacket is a great option for someone looking to nail the moto look without breaking the bank, or someone simply wanting to add another piece to their growing collection of jackets.  Keep in mind that the material will wear a bit stiffer than real leather. 

This washed leather jacket is the perfect “throw-on-and-go style”, making it one of our top picks of the bunch; it reminds me a lot of the AllSaints options with a smaller price tag. The jacket is super soft, as it’s been crafted from “rose-petal-soft and gently textured leather” and cut to perfection. It gives the feeling of being perfectly worn-in…which is priceless in my book. 

This faux leather jacket in “Bone” is a steal for the price (marked down from $145).  The soft color paired with the moto detailing and sharp shoulders creates the perfect juxtaposition between feminine and edgy.  Keep in mind, however, that this style is boxy – so try it on in-store if you can. The sleeves fit long, while the torso is a bit shorter than pictured.  The jacket is also available in a matted black. 

This beautiful quilted moto jacket nails the leather look.  Soft, luxurious real leather, cool details with a timeless finish and pretty affordable price (for a “Forever Piece”).  This jacket from Nordstrom was our top pick for a middle-of-the-line option that doesn’t sacrifice style or quality. The looser fit allows for you to move throughout your day and night, all while looking effortlessly cool. 

I finally called this navy leather jacket mine this year, as I shared in this post on the blog. I am absolutely obsessed with the rich, buttery leather in cool navy, and I love the oversized lapel detail.  The fit is great too; a classic cut that’s not too tight and not too loose.  I sized up a size to ensure that it can be worn on top of sweaters and thick shirts. The jacket is also available in “Moroccan Sand” and Black.

P.S. It’s on sale right now (and if not, it will be again!) so be sure to snag it at 30% off while you can. 

We found it: a pebbled faux leather jacket that looks good with just about everything. This slim-cut jacket comes in four on-trend colors (good luck trying to decide on one). The lapels snap down, helping the jacket drape effortlessly as you rock it all day long. This is an ideal option for someone looking to add a unique color to their leather and faux leather collection. And under $100, the price cannot be beat!
