Leather jacket winter: Stylish and warm through the cold season
Can a leather jacket keep you warm in winter? Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Absolutely yes.
Fact is: The leather jacket has been one of the most popular garments on cold days since the early 20th century. The pilots who fought in World War I needed warm, waterproof clothing that allowed them to move well. The solution: leather jackets and coats lined with sheepskin.
Born out of necessity, the winter leather jacket established itself as a fashionable statement piece. Timelessly beautiful, this warming garment meets even the highest aesthetic standards. Since the leather jacket is also durable and thus sustainable, this good piece must not be missing from our assortment.
The perfect winter leather jacket: What you should pay attention to
Leather is a natural product that never looks the same. For this reason, every winter leather jacket is unique. Yet, there are some significant quality differences. When looking for the best quality, your leather jacket should have the following characteristics:
- Made of high-quality genuine leather, which is particularly robust and durable.
- A timeless design, ideally made in Germany.
- Warming extras like a lambskin collar or padding.
- Good workmanship (take a close look at the seams and zippers).
Lambskin collar for extra warmth
A lambskin collar gives you extra comfort and warmth while wearing it during the cold season. Leather jackets with lambskin are therefore especially popular to withstand the cold winter winds. Our experience shows: Even cold sea wind cannot penetrate a collar with real lambskin.
With a leather jacket with a lambskin collar, not only the functionality convinces but also the design. A leather jacket with a turned-down collar from which the beige lambskin peeks out is simply a fashion statement.
Stand-up collar vs. notch collar
Sometimes it's all about the details. With leather jackets, not just sometimes, but always. It's the little nuances that make the difference. For example, the collar.
The stand-up collar is the first choice in winter. It keeps the neck warm and ensures that cold wind doesn't reach the neck area at all. So always choose a stand-up collar?
It's not that simple. We especially love the notch collar ourselves because we simply find it incredibly chic. The notch collar emphasizes a classic look and is even suitable for more formal occasions.
In short: If you want to be chic, go for the notch collar. It gives the leather jacket a touch of elegance and is ideal for evening events or more formal occasions. A stand-up collar, on the other hand, is perfect for windy winter days.
Must-have models for winter
One jacket, numerous interpretations. Which one suits you?
Biker jackets with winter upgrade
Biker jackets for winter are special models. The jackets for the winter version are usually lined so you can withstand the cold temperatures. A particularly suitable material for sporty leather jackets is soft lamb nappa leather, which provides comfort and warmth.
Imagine wearing a biker jacket with a winter upgrade on a cold day. The jacket not only keeps you warm but also gives you a cool, sporty look. This combination of functionality and style makes the biker jacket a perfect companion for winter.
Bomber jackets for men
Leather bomber jackets are a stylish and trendy choice for winter, often offered in modern designs and various colors. Their construction provides good thermal insulation, making them ideal for cold winter days. You can recognize these jackets by their sporty-casual style, which is versatile to combine.
Let's spill the beans: Most men on our team wear our bomber jackets in everyday life. And every time they show up at the office, everyone thinks: "That just has style." Whether the nice colleague is wearing jeans or chinos. Bomber jackets always make a statement, offer protection from the cold, and impress with a modern and fresh look.
Classic leather jackets with a modern touch
Our modern leather jackets combine classic cuts with innovative materials and colors for a contemporary look. Classic cuts combined with the chic lapel collar are timeless and give the leather jacket an elegant character. The use of new, lightweight materials provides additional comfort and functionality.
This combination of classic and modern creates a timeless look that can be worn every season. Whether for everyday use or special occasions, a classic leather jacket with a modern touch is always a good choice.
Colors and materials: From classic to modern
We love it classic and timeless. For good reason! Trends come and go. Quality and style remain. With a timeless winter leather jacket, you make yourself independent of short-lived trends and say: Bye Bye Fast Fashion. Hello Slow Fashion.
To enjoy your women's or men's leather jacket for a long time, you should also choose timeless tones when selecting the color.
The classic colors for men's leather jackets are black, brown, and gray, but also light shades from blue to purple. Sounds too boring for you? Then see how we manage to interpret even a non-color like black in a modern way. Sorry, but the color gradient of the TALVI.
The choice of color depends on personal preferences and the desired style. Classic colors like black and brown are timeless and elegant. Modern shades like blue and gray, on the other hand, emphasize a fresher look. Of course, we also offer the latter.
Black and brown: The classics
Black and brown are classic colors that are easy to combine and versatile in many outfit combinations. Leather jackets in black and brown are timeless and add a touch of elegance to the winter wardrobe. Most models in our range come in these colors. Why? Because black and brown can be combined with almost anything and are therefore a safe choice for every wardrobe. The colors give every outfit an elegant and stylish note without being intrusive.
Gray, blue, and more
Modern shades like gray and blue are totally in this winter. We think: Totally cool. Because gray and blue are timeless, yet still look fresh and special.
Especially blue is considered a modern color option for men's leather jackets this year. We love how you can play with the different shades of this color
In contrast, gray is the more elegant option. It is incredible how beautiful gray-dyed lamb leather can look.
In short: Gray and blue are your colors if you want to try something new without giving up classic elegance.
Smooth leather vs. velour leather
Leather is our focus. Here is an overview of the two most popular types of leather in the Crone Shop:
With smooth leather, the name says it all. The surface is smooth, slightly shimmering, and super elegant. Velour leather, on the other hand, has a soft, velvety texture and is especially popular with the ladies. Our team loves velour leather for its velvety texture, which gives it a special feel. However, this leather is somewhat more sensitive to water and dirt than smooth leather.
At a glance again:
- Smooth leather has a smooth surface and is considered particularly easy to care for.
- Smooth leather is easier to clean and more resistant to stains compared to velour leather.
- Velour leather has a soft, velvety texture that gives it a special feel.
- Velour leather is more sensitive to water and dirt and therefore requires more attention in care.

Impregnating and cleaning
Your Crone jacket has arrived! We are convinced: It fits like a glove and looks simply top-notch. Surely you can hardly wait to finally wear it in everyday life. But before you do, there is one thing you absolutely must do: impregnate the jacket.
Test the impregnation spray first on an inconspicuous spot (e.g., on the inside or on the hem). Hang the jacket on a hanger. Hold the spray can about 20–30 cm away from the jacket and spray the impregnation spray evenly in thin layers over the entire surface. Be careful not to apply too much, as the leather can otherwise become blotchy. Then let your new favorite piece air dry.
Cleaning a jacket made of smooth genuine leather is done using a cotton cloth and a special leather cleaner. Light dirt on leather jackets can simply be wiped off with a damp cloth.
For the care of your leather jacket, you should use special products like leather fat or oil. This keeps the material supple. Stains should be treated quickly with special stain sprays.
Storage in winter
Leather jackets should always be stored in a well-ventilated, dry place at room temperature. Pro tip: Hang your leather jacket on a padded hanger. This prevents deformation and creasing. Important: Never store your leather jacket in plastic bags. Otherwise, there is a risk of mold formation.
Care products for your winter leather jacket
Trust us. You should always have a leather care kit at home from now on. Ideally, it contains
- a caring spray (suede leather)
- a nourishing cream (smooth leather)
- a brush with soft bristles
- a cotton cloth
Sizes and fit: How to find the right leather jacket
Choosing the right size and fit is – pun intended – the measure of all things. The perfect fit significantly influences the comfort and style of a leather jacket. Warning, beginner's mistake: When buying a leather jacket for the first time, people usually take their everyday size. Sure, everyone would do that. But actually, you should choose one size smaller. Genuine leather tends to stretch over time.
