Cowhide Leather Jacket

Cowhide is one of the toughest, most hard-wearing leathers you can buy — thicker and more rugged than softer hides like lambskin. A cowhide leather jacket is built to take real use and last for years, which is why it's a favourite for riders and anyone who wants durability first. Buccardi's cowhide jackets are made from genuine leather.

Strength You Can Feel

Cowhide has a fuller body and more structure than lambskin, giving the jacket weight and a rugged character. That toughness suits motorcycle styles especially well. If you prefer something softer and lighter, the suede and lambskin options are gentler on the body.

Built to Last

With basic care — the odd clean and conditioning — cowhide ages slowly and develops a strong, characterful patina.
