Our collection offers options to match your needs and riding style, and Renegade Classics has been fitting riders with gear since 1991. This collection covers faux leather motorcycle jackets in men's and women's styles from XS to 6XL, starting at $104.95. Orders over $99 ship free.

How are faux leather motorcycle jackets different?

Faux leather jackets use synthetic materials designed to look like genuine leather. Unlike genuine leather, faux leather does not use animal hide, and for this reason, they are also termed vegan leather biker jackets. It can give riders the classic leather-jacket appearance while offering a different material option for motorcycle clothing.

Faux leather jackets can also include many of the traditional features found in motorcycle jackets, such as zippered pockets, snap collars, adjustable cuffs, waist belts, quilted shoulders, and reinforced stitching. Some motorcycle-specific designs also include armor pockets, action-back panels, ventilation, and other riding-focused features. The important difference is that not every faux leather jacket provides the same level of motorcycle protection.

Key Features in Our Faux Leather Motorcycle Jackets

Different products have different constructions, so features vary across the collection. Here are some of the functional and style features available in our faux leather motorcycle jackets at Renegade Classics:

Quality Material

Our faux leather jackets use synthetic leather to create a classic leather-like appearance. This collection features durable faux leather construction designed for regular use.

Collar Style Variations

With different collar designs, these faux leather riding jackets give riders more styling choices. Options can include shirt-style collars, banded collars with snaps, 1-inch stand collars, and snap-down lapel collars.

Biker Appearance

In this collection, the jackets are designed with classic biker details such as quilted shoulders, elbow panels, waist adjustment belts, detachable hoods, contrast panels, and shoulder epaulets. These details add a traditional motorcycle appearance while giving each jacket its own look.

Functional Pockets

Pocket designs vary by jacket. Available options can include zippered slash pockets, zippered hand pockets, media pockets, inside pockets, drop-down pockets, and coin pockets. These pockets give riders convenient places to carry everyday essentials.

Concealment

Some of the jackets in this collection feature concealed-carry pockets with built-in holsters. These pockets provide dedicated storage within the jacket. Our Zuberi men’s faux leather motorcycle jacket is built with concealed carry pockets to offer secure carrying.

Action-Back

Some motorcycle jackets use an action-back design with stretch panels. These panels give your shoulders and arms more room to move, which can improve comfort when reaching toward the handlebars.

Armor Pockets

Selected motorcycle jackets include armored pockets for riders to insert armor pads for added protection on the road.

Adjustable Sleeves

Zippered sleeve cuffs with gussets allow you to adjust the opening around your wrists. This can also make it easier to wear motorcycle gloves and create a more secure sleeve fit.

Durable Hardware

Selected jackets use durable hardware such as YKK zippers and snap buttons. These closures support regular use while adding to the classic motorcycle-jacket appearance.

Long-Lasting Lining

Lining options vary across the collection and can include satin lining, quilted liners, removable insulated liners, and smooth inner fabrics. The lining can affect warmth, comfort, and how easily you can layer the jacket.

Zippered Vents

Some motorcycle jackets include zippered vents to allow more airflow. Ventilation can be useful during warmer rides, while jackets without vents may work better when you need more coverage.

Reinforced Stitching

Selected faux motorcycle jackets use premium thread stitching and reinforcement in key areas. Strong stitching can support regular use.

Patch-Ready Back

Some jackets provide a clean back area that riders can use for motorcycle patches and other decorations like embroidery and logos.

Comfort Cuffs & Hems

Cuff and hem designs can affect the overall fit of a motorcycle jacket. Depending on the style, you may find ribbed cuffs, belt-style waist adjustments, and other details for a more comfortable fit.

Versatile

In this collection, you may find both women’s and men’s motorcycle jackets with unique sizing, but options may go from XS to 6XL. Our Aurelia Women’s Motorcycle Faux Leather Jacket is built according to women’s unique body shape to offer a better fit without compromising functionality.

Affordable Pricing

Prices start at $104.95 for casual faux leather styles and increase with riding-specific features such as armor pockets, action-back construction, and removable insulated liners.

Are Faux Leather Motorcycle Jackets Good for Riding?

Faux leather motorcycle jackets can work for riding when you choose a design that matches your riding needs. However, not every faux leather jacket offers the same level of motorcycle protection.

The main difference is between fashion-focused faux leather jackets and motorcycle-specific jackets with riding features. A jacket that looks like motorcycle gear does not automatically provide impact or abrasion protection.

Complete Your Motorcycle Gear with a Faux Leather Jacket

A faux leather motorcycle jacket can become the main layer of a classic biker outfit or an everyday casual look. Pair your jacket with motorcycle leather vests, pants, plaid flannel shirts, and other biker accessories to create a complete riding outfit.

Choose a jacket based on your riding style, weather conditions, and the features you need. Renegade Classics has served motorcycle riders since 1991 with motorcycle clothing and gear in different styles, sizes, and price points. Free shipping is available on orders over $99.
