1980s | Custom Leather Trucker Jacket | Patchwork Biker | Black – L

Description:

Item: Heavyweight black leather trucker jacket featuring extensive original embroidered and woven patches, including Explorer, Horseshoe and aviation-inspired motifs. Classic button-front construction with chest flap pockets, contrast stitching, and a gold satin lining that adds a strong visual hit when worn open. This is a true statement piece built around rugged leather and bold 1980s customisation culture.

Era: 1980s.

Brand: Unbranded / custom.

Condition: Good vintage condition. The leather shows deep natural creasing and patina from real wear, which is exactly what gives this piece its character. No structural weakness, with all patches firmly attached. Honest signs of age consistent with a jacket that was actually lived in.

Provenance Note:
Custom leather jackets like this sit at the crossroads of biker culture, Americana and 1980s self-expression. These were not mass-designed fashion items but personal garments, altered and built up over time with patches that reflected identity, travel and community. Each one becomes a one-off archive piece, impossible to replicate, carrying a visual history that modern reproductions simply cannot imitate.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
