Women’s Cafe Racer Leather Jacket

The cafe racer is the plainest jacket in motorcycling: no lapels, no asymmetric zip, just a snap-tab collar and a straight YKK zip up the middle. This is the women’s cafe racer leather jacket version, in real leather, in black or red.

The one detail on it

Quilted padding across the shoulders and upper sleeves, front and back. That is what gives a quilted shoulder leather jacket its shape when the rest is this clean — and it happens to be exactly where a riding jacket has always been reinforced. Two front pockets. Nothing else.

Why the restraint is the point

A cafe racer jacket for women is what to buy if biker styles usually feel like too much hardware — all buckles and zips and studs pulling in different directions.

It goes over a dress as easily as over a tee, which most women’s cafe racer jacket cuts do not manage, because the straight zip means nothing bunches at the hip. In black it is the plain black leather jacket for women you grab without thinking. In red it is the entire outfit.
