The leather motorcycle jacket has achieved timeless status in its near-century of existence. While never out of style, it goes through cycles of being more in from time to time. One of those times is now. Fall 2023 runways were revved up with the retro-inspired leather jacket look, tweaked here and there via proportion and surface treatment to bring it up to speed. It was distressed at Versace, branded at Burberry , oversized at Saint Laurent and Dolce & Gabbana, neat and fitted at Loewe and Givenchy and classic at Polo Ralph Lauren and Celine.
