The Leather Edition

We here at Es Mode posit that a key piece in every man’s wardrobe is a leather jacket. Granted it could take eons to find “the one” but the quest can be fun. I personally ended up owing close to 20 jackets and a long black leather coat in my quest to find that special black leather jacket. The search continues.

If you are on or embarking on a quest to find that special leather jacket, we are here to help you navigate the world of leather. We hope you will have fun along the way and perhaps make an acquisition or two from the list below.

GUCCI

Leather Jacket with Gucci stipe

The Gucci jacket is perfect for the Es Mode Hipsters. It is crafted in smooth black leather, has the distinctive Gucci jacquard stripe and lined with satin. This piece is sporty but can easily transition to night for nocturnal activities when paired with tailored separates.

TOM FORD  

Sophisticated guys everywhere as well as Hollywood types love Tom Ford. I am not a “Hollywood type or a sophisticated guy” but I love TF’s elevated taste. Owning a piece from his collection will add a touch of elegance to your wardrobe.

Perfecto Biker Jacket

Tom Ford has elevated the Biker Jacket. His iteration in white will suit Es Mode’s Continentalists. The jacket is fully lined, has several zip pocket details, zip cuff fastening and double zip closure.  See, you do not need a Harley Davidson to up the “cool dude” factor, you can achieve that with your Alfa Romeo.
