Cafe racer jackets sit apart from the rest of the leather jacket range by cut rather than gender: a slimmer, cleaner silhouette than a classic biker jacket, with less hardware and a closer fit through the body. This category pulls the cafe racer style from both the mens and womens collections into one place, made to order rather than pulled from a rack of finished stock. If you already know which finish you want, classic, striped, studded or distressed, the sections below break each one out.
The Acerra Black Cafe Racer Leather Jacket is the clearest example of the classic cut in this category, close-fitted with clean lines rather than heavy hardware. It's the style to start with if you want the cafe racer silhouette without a bold color or added texture pulling focus away from the cut itself.
The Black Cafe Racer Jacket with Red and White Stripes, from the mens range, takes the same slim cut and adds a bold graphic stripe down the sleeve, a louder option than the plain black styles elsewhere in this category. It suits anyone who wants the cafe racer fit but isn't looking to blend in.
The Black Studded Cafe Racer Leather Jacket breaks from the usual minimal-hardware rule with added studding across the body, more edge than the classic or striped styles above while keeping the same slim, racer-style cut underneath.
The Womens Distressed Black Cafe Racer Jacket takes the same silhouette in the opposite direction, a deliberately worn-in, aged finish rather than a clean new look. It's the pick if you want the jacket to look like it's already been broken in rather than fresh off the rack.
Cafe racer and biker styles get used interchangeably outside this catalog, but here they're distinct: cafe racer jackets run slimmer with minimal hardware, while biker jackets sit boxier with wider lapels and more visible hardware. If a boxier, more traditional biker silhouette is actually what you're picturing, mens biker jackets and womens biker jackets cover that cut specifically.
Every jacket in this category also sits under a gendered collection if you'd rather browse that way instead: mens leather jackets and womens leather jackets each carry their own cafe racer pieces alongside the rest of that range.
Nothing in this category is pre-made and sitting on a shelf; each jacket is cut and sewn once your order comes in, built against the size chart posted on that product's page. If your measurements fall outside that chart, email sales@marcojacket.com before ordering and we'll confirm what's adjustable. A jacket built entirely around your own measurements, rather than an adjusted standard size, is handled separately through the Custom Leather Jacket page.
All built after ordering. Nothing here sits finished in a warehouse ready to ship the same day.
Genuine leather throughout this category, with the exact hide type listed on each individual product page.
Fit and hardware. Cafe racer jackets run slimmer with minimal hardware, while biker jackets sit boxier with wider lapels and more visible studs or zips.
Yes, delivery covers Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia along with the US, aside from a short list of currently excluded countries. The shipping and delivery policy page has the specifics.
The returns and refund policy page covers the process and timelines, including anything specific to made-to-order pieces.
Finished that way on purpose. The worn-in texture and aging is part of the manufacturing finish, not a sign of damage or lower quality material.
A little, but not enough to change how the jacket wears day to day. The hardware is decorative rather than structural.
Email sales@marcojacket.com with your measurements before ordering and we'll confirm what's possible, or use the Custom Leather Jacket page mentioned above for something fully bespoke.
Skip the washing machine and a standard dry cleaner; leather needs someone who specifically handles it. A damp cloth works for light surface marks between proper cleanings.
