The Blacktop Gear Yellow Leather Biker Jacket is a men's asymmetric motorcycle jacket in soft premium sheepskin, with a diagonal zip front, lapel collar, two angled hand-warmer pockets and a fully lined polyester interior. Handmade to order in sizes S to 6XL at $220, with free delivery within the USA. Design & Build Yellow is the point. A black biker jacket disappears into every other black biker jacket; this one does not. It is the same classic asymmetric cut, diagonal zip, notched lapels that can sit open or zipped high, in a colour almost nobody offers on real leather. The hide is soft sheepskin, not cowhide. That matters for how it wears: sheepskin is lighter and softer from the first day, drapes closer to the body and does not need breaking in. It is less abrasion resistant than cowhide, so this is a jacket for riding and for wearing rather than a track garment. The diagonal zip is the traditional biker fastening, it pulls the front across your chest rather than straight down, so there is no cold gap along the zip line at speed. Two angled hand-warmer pockets sit where your hands naturally fall. Inside, a full polyester lining and one interior pocket.

Frequently asked questions How does sheepskin compare to cowhide?Sheepskin is lighter, softer and drapes closer to the body, and it needs no breaking in. Cowhide is thicker and more abrasion resistant. This jacket is built for riding and wearing rather than track use. Why a diagonal zip?It pulls the front across your chest instead of straight down, so there is no cold gap along the zip line at speed. It is the traditional biker fastening for exactly that reason. Will yellow leather get dirty quickly?It shows marks more than black, but it is manageable. Wipe with a barely damp cloth after riding and condition every 6 to 12 months. A leather protector applied before first wear makes marks much easier to lift. How many pockets does it have?Two angled hand-warmer pockets on the outside and one interior pocket. Is it lined?Yes, fully lined in high-quality polyester. What sizes does it come in?S through 6XL as standard, or built to your own measurements at no design charge. The chart below lists body measurements, measure your chest, not a jacket you already own. How long does a made-to-order jacket take?2 to 3 weeks from order confirmation. Where is it made?Blacktop Gear is a US brand. Every piece is designed in the USA and handmade in our own factory rather than outsourced to a third-party manufacturer, which is how we control the leather grade and the stitching on every order. Delivery within the USA is free. Make it your own Different colour, custom sizing, lining choice or pocket layout, every Blacktop Gear piece can be built to your specification.
