Finding the Right Jackets for You

No matter if you’re preparing for a fashion event or a weather event — you’re going to need a good jacket.

What would become the modern jacket as we know it began as a strictly professional item. A lot of the vintage and designer jackets (and coat styles such as the Navy-inspired peacoat) in our closets were likely popularized by soldiers who battled aggressive climes with their regulation field jackets, bombers and parkas buttoned or zipped to the chin. Indeed, keeping troopers comfortable guided the design of the military surplus garments that have often become buzzy fashion trends. But now, jackets add far more than warmth to our wardrobe, and we hunt down outer layers branded with peerless fashion labels.

Fashion’s most iconic creations, despite their age, remain modern: Biker jackets originated in the 1920s, Balenciaga’s celebrated puffers are steeped in a tradition of down coats that began in the 1930s and your vintage denim jacket has come an even longer way, from California Gold Rush to wardrobe staple. Jeans bequeathed jean jackets during the 1880s, thanks to Levi Strauss, who crafted the former as a durable garment to be worn by miners and railroad workers. Later, jeans and jean jackets became synonymous with nonconformity and rebelliousness — with fashion legends such as actor James Dean in the 1950s and model Veruschka in the 1960s and ’70s leading the indigo-toned charge.

Another fashion rebel, Coco Chanel, used the classic tweed jacket to introduce more comfort and mobility into women’s daily lives. Debuting in 1954 and based on a cardigan, the groundbreaking Chanel jacket forever changed what women wear. The garment reacted against the fitted, constricting styles of Christian Dior’s New Look, which, as Chanel saw it, was making women dress like decorative objects.

On 1stDibs, find bold collections from cutting-edge contemporary designers who’ve taken the classic silhouette of the jacket to new heights or build out your array of vintage treasures (denim or otherwise) with dazzlers from Yves Saint Laurent, Gianni Versace, Moschino and more.

Questions About Suede Leather Jackets
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Today, most leather jackets have fringe simply as a style embellishment that adds visual appeal to the garment. However, the original purpose of fringe was to wick water away from the sleeves of leather jackets if a wearer gets caught in a rainstorm. If leather gets very damp, it can lose vital natural oils which may cause it to shed its supple quality and eventually become brittle. Find a collection of leather jackets from some of the world's top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    The best leather motorcycle jacket is really a matter of preference. You’ll want to think about how comfortable the jacket is as well as how it will perform in certain weather conditions and more. You can find a variety of vintage and modern leather jackets on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    To tell if a leather jacket is vintage, look for a maker's label. Once you have located the label, consult trusted online resources to determine when the brand was active. For makers that are still in business, examine online photographs of their labels from various time periods to find a match and estimate the age of your jacket. For a piece to be considered vintage, it must be at least 20 years old. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of vintage leather jackets.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    Yes, some leather jackets may be worth money. In particular, vintage leather outerwear and contemporary pieces from luxury brands like Verheyen London, Chanel, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli may have significant resale value. Age, condition, style and maker all play a role in determining how much a particular piece is worth. For assistance evaluating your leather jacket, use the services of a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Shop a wide variety of leather jackets on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024

Due to their unique character and luxurious material, leather jackets from well-known makers, such as Versace, Hermès, Chanel and Christian Dior, are popular among collectors.

    Yes, leather jackets were popular in the 50s. They became a trend after Marlon Brando wore one in the 1953 film The Wild One. Beloved by rockers, rebels and outsiders, the original leather biker jacket was introduced by the Schott Brothers, in Manhattan, in 1928. Because of its association with motorcycle club riots, U.S. schools banned the jackets for a time. Shop a selection of leather jackets from some of the world's top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    To tell if a vintage leather jacket is real, first look for any tags that show the material content. You can also do a quick test by applying one to two drops of water to an inconspicuous area. If the water is absorbed, the jacket is likely real leather. Water will usually roll off faux leather. On 1stDibs, find a collection of leather jackets.
