The most important at a glance
- Leather jackets come in various styles suitable for all kinds of occasions.
- Choosing the right material plays a crucial role in the quality and durability of the leather jacket.
- A good fit is essential – ideally, your new leather jacket fits like a second skin.
Diverse styles for every occasion
Leather jackets are today an indispensable part of both men's and women's wardrobes. We love the timeless classic for its versatility. Because leather jackets can be combined with different outfits and for all conceivable occasions. Whether for formal occasions, in the office, or for leisure activities – there is always a suitable leather jacket. This versatile wearability has contributed to the growing popularity of men's leather jackets.
Leather jackets are not only practical but also offer an enormous range of fashion possibilities. From classic summer leather jackets to warming leather jackets for winter to light suede models for spring – the selection is large. Even faux leather jackets can visually compete with a jacket made of genuine leather. However, in terms of quality, real leather jackets are unbeatable.
The history of the leather jacket
Did you know that it was not a creative designer who created the leather jacket? It was rather born out of necessity.
The origins of the leather jacket can be traced back to World War I, when it served as practical and protective clothing for pilots. Its robust nature and ability to protect against wind and weather quickly made it an indispensable part of military equipment.
Over the decades, the leather jacket has constantly evolved. From the rebellious symbols of the 1950s, worn by icons like James Dean, to highly fashionable pieces in today's collections of major designers – the leather jacket has repeatedly reinvented itself.
Today, men's leather jackets are available in a variety of styles and designs and remain a timeless classic that never goes out of fashion.
One jacket – three styles
Classic elegance: leather jackets for the office
Leather jackets can make a really good impression in the office. Especially suitable here are models made of lamb leather, known for their high wearing comfort and smooth texture. A notch collar gives the jacket an elegant touch and makes it a stylish alternative to the classic blazer. Leather jackets in black, gray, and brown are the best choice for everyday professional life. Easy to combine. And always chic.
Rock look: biker jackets for men
Do you love it rockin'? How great that biker jackets made of leather and Rock’n’Roll go together as well as gin and tonic water.
Biker jackets are known for their robustness and striking details like asymmetrical zippers. The stand-up collar with strap and the numerous zippered pockets are characteristic features that emphasize the rock style.
Casual leisure style: flight jackets and more
Leather is not just leather. There are also huge differences here.
Our team is convinced of lamb leather and lamb nappa. These types of leather are characterized by high wearing comfort and remarkable softness.
High-quality lamb leather and lamb nappa
Lamb leather and lamb nappa are the first choice for making high-quality leather jackets. The materials are comfortable to wear and give the jacket a luxurious touch. Lamb leather also has the advantage of adapting well to the body shape and fits like a second skin. Restricted? No thanks, in a leather jacket from Crone you are always maximally mobile.
Lamb nappa, a special form of lamb leather, is also very soft and supple. It is often used for elegant and high-quality lambskin leather jackets that can be worn both in the office and during leisure time.
In short: Choosing the right leather can make the difference between a good and an outstanding leather jacket. We modestly say: With us, you always deal with the latter category.
Sustainability and origin
Sustainability plays an increasingly important role in the production of leather jackets. We rely on collaboration with experienced leather craftsmen who source their leather from sustainable sources and ensure that only the best raw materials are used.
Our leather jackets are made in the best leather workshops in the world. We guarantee not only excellent craftsmanship but also fair social standards in the supply chain.

Fit
Slim Fit vs. Regular Fit
Slim Fit and Regular Fit are two common fits for leather jackets.
- Slim Fit jackets are cut close to the body and ideal for slim body types.
- They emphasize the silhouette and are often made from lighter leather.
- This fit is especially suitable for athletic and slim men.
Regular Fit offers more room and is well suited for sturdier body types. They always ensure optimal freedom of movement.
Both fits have their own advantages and should be chosen according to body type and personal preferences.
Care and cleaning of your leather jacket
A high-quality leather jacket is always an investment. An investment you should take care of. Here are some tips to significantly extend the lifespan of your jacket.
- Regular care: Use appropriate leather care products to keep the material supple.
- Suitable cleaning agents: Make sure to use only products specifically designed for leather.
- Storage: Leather jackets should be stored in a well-ventilated and dry place – ideally, you hang them on a hanger in a well-aired spot. This way, your jacket retains its shape and stays beautiful for a long time.
Regular care
Before wearing for the first time, you should treat your leather jacket with a special impregnation spray. This way you can protect it from water and dirt.
Dried out or cracked leather? A horror, but not if you rely on proper leather care. Regular care should therefore also include rubbing the jacket with leather care products.
Cleaning of smooth and suede leather
- For smooth leather jackets, it is important to use a re-fatting leather detergent so that the leather does not dry out. Smooth leather requires different products than suede leather. Use leather cream or balm specifically for smooth leather.
- Suede leather requires special care because it is more sensitive than smooth leather. A suede leather brush is best for cleaning and a silicone- or fluorocarbon-based impregnation spray. Good products usually contain natural waxes, solvents, and protective polymers that preserve the velvety appearance of the leather without making it sticky.
Important: Suede leather should not be treated with creams but with special sprays that care for and protect the material.
Storage and protection
Leather jackets should not be stored in direct sunlight or in humid environments. Direct sunlight can fade and make the leather brittle. High humidity can damage the material and lead to mold growth. Ideally, you store your leather jacket in a breathable garment bag.
Stylish combinations for every occasion
The best is just good enough. We stand for a strong counter-movement to fast fashion and represent the sustainable spirit of the times. With jackets made to last a lifetime. That comes at a price. But honestly: if you invest in a new jacket every two years, it costs you significantly more than the one-time investment in a leather jacket. Plus: you just look damn good!
How about a genuine leather jacket from Crone?
Combine your leather jacket with well-fitting jeans and a simple T-shirt to create a relaxed yet stylish look.
For a particularly cool look, we recommend a combination of a black leather jacket, a white T-shirt, and dark jeans. This look is reminiscent of the iconic outfits of James Dean.
Elegant combinations with shirt and pants
Dark blue shirts go well with brown leather jackets, especially when combined with matching chinos or fabric pants.
A black leather jacket can also be elegantly combined with a white shirt and black pants. This combination is perfect for business appointments or formal occasions and shows that leather jackets can also be worn in a professional environment.
Winter looks with scarves and hats
In the cold season, you can perfectly combine leather jackets with textiles like scarves and hats. Exactly how is, of course, up to you. Everything that looks good is allowed!
