Men's Cafe Racer Jackets: The Minimalist Moto Silhouette

Stripped down, never stripped back.

Our cafe racer jackets trade lapels and hardware for a clean band collar and a centred zip, cut close in full-grain cowhide and sheepskin so the silhouette holds its line for years. Minimal by design, not by compromise. Shop 42 styles from $150, handcrafted to order with free returns if the cut isn’t right.

Every style comes in XS–5XL, and nearly all are available as custom size leather jackets cut to your measurements.

Fit is the one non-negotiable: a cafe racer only works cut close to the body, so if you’re between sizes, size down. Because the zip runs centre-front in full view, zip quality matters more here than on a biker jacket where hardware is already part of the visual noise.

The Vortex Black Leather Cafe Racer Jacket ($150, cowhide, snap-tab racer collar) is the entry point into the range; the Aero Black Cafe Racer Leather Jacket ($165, cowhide) is the more classic cut.

What is the difference between a cafe racer and a biker jacket?

A biker has wide foldable lapels and an asymmetric zip; a cafe racer has a stand or band collar and a straight centered zip with far less hardware.

Are cafe racer jackets versatile?
More so than a biker jacket for most men, since the clean silhouette layers over smart pieces as easily as it does over a t-shirt.
How should a cafe racer jacket fit?
Snug across the shoulders and chest, hem at or just above the waist, sleeves ending at the wrist. Size up one if you plan to layer a knit underneath.
How do I care for a leather cafe racer jacket?
Keep your jacket away from prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade and dry out the leather. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally at room temperature — never use a heater or tumble dryer. Condition the leather every 3–6 months with a quality leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Store it on a broad-shouldered hanger to hold its shape when not in use.
Can a cafe racer jacket be worn casually?
Absolutely — the cafe racer jacket was designed for exactly that. Its clean, minimal silhouette works effortlessly over a plain tee and jeans, with chinos and a button-down, or even layered under a light overcoat in cooler months. Unlike heavier moto styles, the cafe racer’s understated design means it never looks out of place in everyday settings.
What colours are available in your cafe racer collection?
Our cafe racer collection is available in classic black, rich brown, and distressed vintage finishes. Black is the most versatile option and the easiest to style with any outfit. Brown is warmer in tone and develops a deeper patina with age, making it a favourite for those who want a jacket that tells a story over time. We regularly add new colourways — check the collection for the latest arrivals.
Do you offer international shipping on leather jackets?

Yes, Tanner & Thread ships worldwide. Delivery times and rates vary by destination — full details are available on our shipping page. All orders are carefully packed to protect the leather during transit, and tracking is provided on every shipment so you can follow your order from dispatch to delivery.
