Where Heritage
Meets Perfection
We started Tanner & Thread in 2025 to make one thing well: leather jackets that get better with wear. Every jacket is cut to order from full-grain or top-grain cowhide and sheepskin, never bonded or scrap leather, and checked by hand before it ships.
Premium Full-Grain Leather
Sourced from the finest tanneries, our leather is selected for its character, durability, and the way it ages beautifully over time.
Hand-Finished Details
Seams, edges, and hardware are finished by hand and inspected before shipping. If something isn't right, it doesn't leave the workshop.
Lifetime Quality Promise
We stand behind every jacket with our heritage guarantee - quality that lasts a lifetime, craftsmanship that tells a story.
"Over time, a leather jacket, like a pair of denim jeans, tells a story."

Leather jackets are designed to bring out your best. When it comes to style and confidence, nothing should hold you back, least of all your jacket.
Crafted to be timeless and versatile, our jackets are made to be lived in. Since 2025, we’ve focused on one thing: full-grain and top-grain leather jackets, cut and finished to order, because craftsmanship and fit are what we know best.
Jackets Built to Last
Our focus is craftsmanship. Every Tanner & Thread jacket starts with full-grain or top-grain cowhide and sheepskin, never bonded or scrap leather, so it develops a deeper patina with wear instead of cracking.
Our men’s leather jackets feature rugged biker styles, minimalist bombers, and tailored cuts for every occasion, all made to order with sizing from XS to 5XL and free returns if the fit isn’t right.
An obsession with quality is what started this brand, and it’s still what drives it. Classic silhouettes, modern tailoring, and premium hides, built to help you stand out.
Everyday Style & Lifestyle Wear
We create jackets that are more than fashion, they’re built for how you actually live. A night out in the city, a weekend ride, or everyday wear, our collection is designed to move with you and last for years.
From iconic biker jackets to sleek bombers and sophisticated aviator styles, each piece is built with premium craftsmanship and designed to be worn anywhere, anytime.
What are the pros and cons of owning a leather jacket?
Leather jackets are durable, stylish, versatile investments that develop a unique patina over time but are costly, require significant maintenance, can be environmentally problematic, and are sensitive to weather conditions.
They last for decades with proper care, provide protection and insulation, and improve any outfit. However, their upfront cost is high, and they can be damaged by water, require specific cleaning products, and are derived from animal products.
What are the different styles of leather jackets?
The main styles of leather jackets include the Biker, known for its ruggedness with an asymmetrical zip and belt; the Bomber/Flight, a military-inspired jacket with a knit waistband; the Trucker, a rugged, waist-length jacket with button-flap chest pockets; the Cafe Racer, a sleek and minimalist moto-style jacket; and the Delivery Jacket, a longer, more versatile option. Other styles like varsity, workwear, and tailored options also exist, offering different fits and features.
How to tell if a leather jacket is real?
To determine if a leather jacket is real, look for natural imperfections, feel its unique softness and warmth, and smell for a natural, earthy aroma, as opposed to plastic or chemical smells.
Real leather will show an uneven, random grain pattern, while faux leather has a smooth, symmetrical, and artificial grain. You can also try a small “bend test”; real leather will wrinkle naturally, while faux leather remains rigid or stiff.
How to choose the right size leather jacket?
To choose the right size leather jacket, ensure the shoulders fit at the natural shoulder line, the sleeves end at your wrist bone, and the body is snug but allows for movement and layering. It should also fall around your natural waist or hips, not lower.
Always check the brand’s specific size chart and try the jacket on with the layers you intend to wear underneath for a perfect fit.
