Vintage Buffalo Leather Jacket
Your message will be included with the gift. Gift orders are sent without a receipt.
Made for the open road and built with character from day one, this vintage moto jacket is crafted from full-grain buffalo leather with a rich, hand-distressed appearance. Natural grain, subtle markings and tonal variations give every jacket its own personality—and the leather will continue to develop even more character the longer you wear it.
The streamlined moto silhouette is finished with a snap-tab stand collar, antique-style hardware, YKK zippers, and four exterior zippered pockets. Inside, a soft quilted lining with a cotton layer adds warmth and comfort without taking away from the jacket's rugged feel. Tough, timeless and designed to age beautifully, this is the kind of leather jacket that becomes more personal with every mile.

My jackets just came today they are gorgeous, they are even better than I expected, very durable. The craftsmanship is spot on. The only thing is you definitely better order 1-2 sizes bigger, like the reviews say I did 1 size larger and was a just a little to small I sent mine back and reordered ( WITH NO HASSLE AT ALL to my surprise) I’m just trying to save future customers the extra delay. Thanks JAMES LEATHER.
Excellent jacket. Sizing was a bit off. By all measurements the xl jacket I ordered should have been right but was very tight in the arms & shoulders. I ended up returning the XL for a XXXL and that fits perfectly. It is a coarse rugged leather that is reinforced well and doubled where it should be for a motorcycle jacket. I like the look and “fit” in the larger size. The jacket will not be enough for a temperature 55° while riding so order larger than normal if you want to layer with a sweatshirt underneath. I’m happy with the larger jacket and service!
Love the fit and finish. Nice heavy quality but light enough on a warm afternoon.
James Leather replaced my jacket for free when the zipper broke on the bottom. I love the quality and the fit I would tell anyone who’s ordering a leather jacket to use James Leather if anything goes wrong with the jacket they are prompt and they will fix your problem immediately. Thank you James Leather.
awesome! perfect fit James Leather!!!! I wear the jacket as often as possible to really achieve that distressed look. That might take a little time but it is a satisfied journey.
Jacket is really comfortable, breaks in great. It has plenty of pockets. It will go great with the rest of my riding gear.
This is a bad ass jacket it fits perfectly I will definitely be using y’all again thank you so much
Hate to buy unknown products, but after conditioning , used bee’s wax, aka Obernauf’s LP. The best of the best Saphir Ronovatieur, and some Venitian shoe cream, F’n thing looks (and smells) awesome . Stitches not the best. But for the price. More than 2 Thumbs up.
While ordering clothes off-line is difficult enough jacket are no exception. I did have to return the leather jacket for the next size up. I was very happy with the jacket I received. You will have to put mink oil on it and Roll it up and down every which way you can but after it’s all said and done the leather jacket is worth what I paid for it.
Love the fit and feel of the leather. Measurements are quite accurate so I wouldn't size up. The liner is nice as well. The distressed effect it comes with - feels like the dyes are not set hard yet. I preferred less of it so used a damp cloth to even out the color a bit. Like others said - it comes stiff and dry and needs some conditioning. It's really an amazing value for the leather and the style is super cool. Recommend.
I like it. It bothers me that it's supposedly Buffalo leather but the tag says 100% leather. I just hope it's not horse hide. If it were my company I'd make sure ppl new what it was made out of. I'm a blacksmith/farrier and own a boarding facility for horses. I got a XXL it fits well It was snug at first but it almost looks custom now. I've got a 56in chest and a 36in waste so it's definitely tailored well. I own other Buffalo leather jackets and the leather is not like the leather on this jacket. The other 2 are different co.s. overall I like the fit and style but I question the material. We will see.
Color from picture and I know it’s leather ,, is def diff … and it’s not a bad way ,, the leather smells good like leather should and was no odor It fits great I did get two compliments the first time I wore it
So so pleased with this jacket !! I must admit I was quite surprised at the quality of this jacket in every way . The heaviness of the leather , stitching and Just overall value for the money - amazing ! I was extremely skeptical of buying a leather jacket online from pictures. The jacket looks exactly like the picture! I guessed at the size ( ordered late at night and missed seeing size chart ) . It fits so well and feels like an old friend I haven’t seen in years . Absolutely a total skeptic that I could order this on December 12th ( Saturday) and have it delivered on the 24th when it wasn’t even picked up by DHL until the 19th . I must admit after reading so much negative info on leather jacket companies online being a scam - I thought this was too . Boy was I wrong . I received a next day reply to my concerns from a customer service rep - Raxy , who apologized for my concerns and assured me the process would work and if I wasn’t happy they would refund my money without question . Will admit I felt quite funny when I pulled this jacket out of a DHL envelope and found this jacket that looked just like the pictures seemed to be made very well and fits great . Couldn’t be more pleased and have already looked at 2 other jackets I am looking at to order a second . James Leather lived up to their tag line in the label in my jacket - A Leather Company you can trust ! Thank you for making this a special Christmas ! Bill M.
My husband loves this jacket says it’s the most comfortable motorcycle jacket that he has ever had.
I am Super Duper pleased with my Jacket. Strong,Durable with comfort and my style.
Very good looking coat! I received it in the spring of 2026 so it was too warm to wear. I did customize it….. suggestion for anyone who is thinking about buying one. Definitely do a custom coat! I ordered mine in coat length (typicall 4 inches below waist) “ the standard order” is jacket length (to your waistline ) and I had a second zipper put in. That way I can open coat when sitting on my bike- “ the second sipper operates from the bottom up”. You just unzip a little and the extra length covers the waist and top of my thighs. One consideration to pay attention to, put a sweatshirt on then measure your arms…. chest/shoulders/biceps/forearms. Add a little extra so you have room! My coat is a little tight in the arms with a sweatshirt on. It is an expensive coat, but the craftsmanship and service were second to none! Buy the coat don’t hesitate. You won’t be sorry. I did the distressed buffalo. Hope this helps and potential buyers. Dan
Loved it fit perfectly! Except it had no tags to show how to take care of it .
I love the look and style, it was hard to get the sizing right. I have a 38” waist and eventually went to the XXXL, but it’s still pretty tight around the biceps and shoulders. If you’re built like a hipster then maybe it’s fine. But if you’re built like an actual working class middle aged adult man who rides, maybe not so much.
It goes with age of my bike probably have8 leather jackets busa line of bikes I do have one BMW. 999
I really love my jacket, it took a conditioner really well and softened up after regular wear.
I wasn’t sure about the purchase because of the possible fit but the customer service was polite and reassuring of options if it did not. Jacket fit and feels great. Glad I got it.
Looks good and feels good, happy to have it
I have not worm it yet because of the smell. I am airing it out.
Nice jacket. Just needs to be worn in some so it’s not so stiff.
I received a second jacket that looks like a bomber jacket. How would I arrange to return it?
I love the Jacket - exactly what I was expecting, color and comfortability.
Arrived and looks great. Has a strong smell but it disappears if hung for a few days.
Love the jacket, excellent quality , fits very nice.
Well made and fits great. Took a while to get here, but definitely worth the wait............
Great jacket. Excellent quality. Well worth the wait. I would definitely recommend your products. If I want anything else leather, this will be the first place I look. Thank you Rick
I love it. I recommend getting at least a size up because they do run smaller than most U.S. brands. I did do that and am very happy. Thank you.
Quite happy with it. The zipper sticks a bit, so I will work on that. It wasn't clear when it had shipped or if it had shipped, but then it arrived! Fits great.
Not to bad, zipper feels cheap, time will tell
It’s a nice leather jacket, pockets on the sleeves are cool. Good quality, I decided to use Saddle soap and some conditioner on it right away (odd smell out of the bag, gone now) and the leather is breaking in nicely!
Perfect
Very nice jacket. Unfortunately too small
Great quality, good fit. Would recommend
I love the jacket and so does my wife. Only problem is I wish I had ordered a size bigger but that’s my fault. It looks and feels great though.
Great buffalo leather jacket. I needed a 5X and they had it made up and shipped to me in a shorter than expected amount of time.
