1990s–2000s | Red Black | Leather Car Coat – XXL

Description:

Item: Classic late 1990s to early 2000s leather car coat by Red Black Leather Collection. Traditional car coat styling with a clean three-button front, notched lapels, chest welt pocket and large flap pockets. The jacket has the relaxed tailoring typical of the period, giving it a comfortable slightly boxy cut that layers well over knitwear or heavier shirts. The smooth black leather gives the piece a sharp, understated presence while maintaining the practical everyday wearability that made car coats so popular.

Era: 1990s–2000s

Brand: Red Black Leather Collection

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Leather remains supple with a natural sheen and strong overall structure. Lining is intact and the jacket shows light, honest wear consistent with age, adding character without affecting wearability.

Provenance Note: Leather car coats became a staple of late twentieth century outerwear, offering the structure of tailoring with the durability and weather resistance of leather. Designed to sit slightly longer than a standard blazer, they provided both practicality and style for everyday wear. This example captures that balance perfectly, making it a versatile vintage leather piece that pairs easily with denim, tailoring or workwear.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
