Clean Lines. Serious Leather.

Genuine buffalo leather, removable impact protection, and streamlined café racer styling come together in a motorcycle jacket built for the road and refined enough for everyday wear.

The HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket is crafted from 1.1–1.2 mm genuine buffalo leather with double-stitched construction and removable CE-rated protection at the shoulders, elbows, and back. An attached polyester lining adds comfort and warmth, while a flexible rear gusset supports natural movement in the riding position.

A snap-tab collar, adjustable waist buckles, zippered cuffs, seven-pocket storage, and dependable YKK hardware complete this clean, versatile leather motorcycle jacket for sport riding, commuting, weekend rides, and life beyond the bike.

Features & Functionality
  • Streamlined café racer style: Clean lines, a straight front zipper, and a snap-tab collar create a timeless road-inspired profile.
  • Adjustable waist: Two side buckles let you fine-tune the fit around the lower torso.
  • Zippered cuffs: Expand the sleeve openings for easier glove access or close them for a more secure riding fit.
  • Flexible movement: A stretch gusset across the back yoke supports mobility on and off the motorcycle.
  • Seven-pocket storage: Three exterior zippered pockets and four internal pockets keep essentials organized and within reach.
  • Comfortable interior: An attached polyester lining provides a smoother feel and added warmth.
  • Dependable hardware: Stainless-steel components and YKK zippers support regular riding use.

Customer photo review of HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Great jacket only wish you made the Cafe racer jacket with the reflective strips

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

This was bought as a gift for an employee that often commented on my leather jacket. I was happy to find this jacket at a very reasonable price, enabling me to gift him a quality leather jacket of his own. He was overjoyed with the gift.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Fits perfect, thick leather, armor included. Fantastic price! Highly recommend!

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

The product was just what I was looking for. The fit is good. The quality is remarkably decent quality. Excellent price.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Great product, unfortunately it was not a good fit but nothing to do with the quality. The leather is superb, thick and soft. Armor is removable. Had to sell ton marketplace since the return shipping cost was about 40$ and not covered by the seller. You better off buying the coat on Amazon since they are handling returns better cost wise.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Great jacket, feels sturdy, can easily be used outside of motorcycle riding and hopefully would also offer the protection in a case of an accident, God forbid. I’d buy it again!

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

I'm 5 11 and 205 lbs. Chest about 44. As mentioned by others, I decided to upsize and got the xxl. Glad I did. This fits nice. I also removed the pads as they felt too restrictive. Overall very pleased with my purchase.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Delivered very fast , and an awesome leather jacket. Recommended to my son for our MC Club & everyone else that might be looking for one

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

This purchase was great ! We received it very quickly and the quality is amazing! My son says he definitely feels safer and loves the armor. The fit is very accurate and comfortable.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

This jacket is amazing for the price! WOW! I took the pads out because I just don’t like them, in any jacket. But this is high quality leather that kept the wind, rain, cold, and heat off of me during my 2700 mile ride. I hit every weather and this jacket held up to all of it.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

This jacket is AWESOME! It’s thick and heavy and with the armor padding it feels very protective. It fits well but a little stiff due to the thickness of the new leather which will break in in time. At the price I paid for it , it feels like I almost stole it. If you can’t make up your mind if you want to buy one or not , let me make it up for you and BUY THIS JACKET.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

With the armor installed I had to go up one size. The jacket is well made and a great price. The jacket will last for many years and the armor can protect you from injury.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Fits good, have not needed to wear it for riding yet.So I do not know how comfortable riding, but I am optimistic.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Well made motorcycle jacket with ballistic pads. Zippers are YKK and work well. Over the years I have owned multiple leather motorcycle jackets of different styles (I'm in my late 60s) I was pleasantly surprised at this jacket. For the price, the quality and fit beats others hands down. Will buy another from this company as well as other products. Leather is not the thin cheap type used by other companies. Nor is it PU synthetic.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

This jacket is the real deal and a bargain at the price. Far exceeded my expectations. It is heavy duty, well constructed with quality leather and fits great. Nice metal zippers work good and look like they will last. Pockets are adequate - the inside pockets fit my iPhone 11 but I doubt they will fit a larger "pro" size model. A little stiff at first but after a month of using it now it is breaking in nicely. The padding is adequate and the extra leather at the shoulders and elbows add even more protection. Sleeve length is just right while riding so of course feel a bit long when off the bike. As for fit, I am 6' tall, 200 pounds, athletic build with 45" chest and 36" waist - purchased a size XL, the fit is nearly perfect and still allows me to wear a base layer under as needed. I do find it a bit loose in the waist with the adjustments all the way in. I removed the elbow pads because they made the sleeves feel a little tight. Again I think the leather alone will offer amble protection in that area. I may try them again as the jacket breaks in. If you are after a good looking, serious motorcycle jacket for a great price, this is the one.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

well made with real leather! neck is a bit uncomfortable, hoping it will loosen/soften up with time.I ordered a large expecting to have to send it back (I'm 6' 180 pounds 34" waist) fit great! it does "bell" out a bit at the waist but, if I tighten it up using the side belts then it drives the collor into my neck when I sit so....maybe don't do that? lol overall great jacket especially for the price

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

hey this is a nice jacket and the price was right. the only thing that got me was the sleeve zippers were for show. the sleeves were a little long with or without zipper. on the bright side the sleeve zipper would work if i was wearing boxing gloves.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Its a good buy for the price. im 5'8", 220lbs, 38in waistline. xxl fits me well. easy to take off, but the arms portion is not loose its just right

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Originally ordered a 2x which was extremely too small I had not seen the size chart. I ordered a 5x but got a 4x and I'm glad it happened that way because it is a perfect fit. I had ordered a $300 jacket weeks before and curiosity got the better of me so I tried the HWK and I ended up returning the expensive jacket. Is the HWK better? No. The other one was worth the money but the HWK is exactly what I need at a price that cannot be beat. I also have ordered their chaps, vest, and a pair of their denim jeans and all exceed expectations for the price. I will be ordering the leather gloves and adventure pants in the future. You cannot beat this gear for the price!

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Bought this for my husband and he loved it, it looks really nice and great protection all around and it has many pockets!!

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

The jacket is a medium weight jacket.. Not to light, not to heavy.. The arm length is perfect.. I'm 5'7", 160 lbs and the small fit me absolutely perfect.. I'm not a big fan of armour so I took them out.. Hard to believe it's full, real leather.. The look and the feel is excellent.. Lots of pockets inside and out.. 3 outer pockets and sleeves all have what appears to be brass zippers.. My only complaint would be no venting zippers in the back, no vents.. Other than that I really like it and would highly recommend, especially for the price.. I'm impressed..

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Great motorcycle jacket, thick high quality leather with armor plates in the elbows, shoulders, and back. Fits true to size, has great mobility and looks great.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

The price on this jacket is ridiculously low. This jacket is very heavy duty, very. I ordered a size up, xxl instead of xl, but you may not want to, I think the size chart is pretty close, I just wanted extra room for layers. The sleeves are properly long. The pads were bent up from shipping but they straightened out quickly. This coat will take a while to break in, it is seriously thick and heavy. For the price I bought 2.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Superó mis expectativas había comprado otras chamarras de De igual forma de piel con protecciones esa chamarra tiene más calidad pesa bastante eso habla del buen material con lo que está elaborado sus protecciones muy bien mi talla es grande pero la pide XL ya que en ocasiones hay que traer cuando hace frío una sudadera abajo de la chamarra y para no estar incómodo es lo correcto sugiero pidan una talla mayor a la que son ustedes le enviaron muy rápido y sí si me preguntan si merece la pena Claro que sí cada centavo.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

I just received my second HWK jacket and I cannot believe the quality is so good. I bought an redjacket two years ago, and still use it as my daily driver, but I wanted a cool Fonzie looking leather jacket to ride with on the weekends. For the price this cannot be best. Stitching is perfect. The leather feels great. More pockets than I imagined. I am 5'6" and 185 lbs and the medium size fits perfectly.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Para el precio, es una chaqueta de muy buena calidad ,sobre todo lo que protege a la hora de la emergencia, la recomie do 100%.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

I’m 5’ 5”, 135 lbs, 40” chest and the small size fits great (a little big in the belly area, but not a deal breaker). The jacket is genuine leather, weights about 5 lbs with the armor. At this cost, it is a great purchase!

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Well made but a little stiff. Other than that, It's a good looking jacket, great for riding motorcycle especially on a chilly day.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

This is the second one I got. The first one saved my ass taking a spill on the highway. Had to get another one you won't regret it. The first one took a year and half to really break in. After that it was nice and soft. The second one is little different no armor or zip out liner. Not missing just different.

HWK Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

Simple jacket, not much fashion, good leather. I had to remove the elbow protection because the sleeve was too tight. It comes also with back and shoulder protection.
