Jack Andrews is Buffalo Jackson’s vintage-luxury label, for a different kind of wanderer.
It began in 2023 with a black leather duffle and a simple belief: true quality doesn’t need to announce itself. Every piece carries the leatherwork Buffalo Jackson has refined since 2009, made for the long way around and kept for good, and is available only at BuffaloJackson.com.
Our Cafe Racer Leather Jacket carries the legacy of Europe’s golden age of motorcycling—where speed met elegance, and every road promised a story. Steeped in old-world charm, it is more than outerwear; it is a passage into heritage, luxury, and timeless freedom.
Cut from rich, distressed full-grain cowhide, the leather softens with every mile, unveiling new layers of character—like the pages of a well-traveled journal. Light, understated padding gives the jacket just enough structure for a refined profile—subtle enough to honor its classic design, without leaning into heavy moto styling. Antique brass YKK hardware and tailored zippered cuffs finish the look with enduring sophistication.
This jacket is not simply worn—it is lived in. It whispers of past adventures and beckons toward new horizons, a tribute to craftsmanship, exploration, and the enduring spirit of the open road.
Features
Shopping online, as most of us do nowadays, you’ll want to know your measurements to help ensure a great fit. The sketch below shows where to take measurements to compare to clothing you already own. Keep in mind, however, those measurements will only be helpful if taken correctly. Tip: don’t let the measuring tape hang loose when you’re measuring, but avoid pulling the tape excessively tight. Here’s how to get accurate measurements:
Length: Measure from the bottom of the collar to the waist seam.
Shoulders: Measure between the top of the sleeve seams.
Chest: Measure the entire circumference of your chest. Begin with one end of the measuring tape 1 inch below the armhole at the fullest part of your chest. Then, keeping the tape level, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
Sleeve: Accurately measuring sleeve length is tough to do yourself, so ask someone to help with this. Beginning with one end of the tape at the top of your arm, then down to your wrist. This entire length is your arm-length measurement.
Do the same rules apply to how a jacket should fit as to other jackets or outerwear? Not necessarily. Read on for details.
Leather will stretch over time, so you never want to start with a leather jacket that is too big. But that doesn’t mean you want a jacket that’s too small! It’s also essential to allow room for layers under your leather jacket. Here are a few specific tips for finding a leather jacket that fits just right:
Chest: Leather jackets ought to fit more snugly through the chest than a regular overcoat, but consider the types of layers you may want to wear underneath. If you live in a warm climate and will be layering over light clothing such as a dress shirt or t-shirt, we recommend adding 2-3 inches to your measured chest size. If you live in a colder climate and layering over heavier clothing such as sweaters, we recommend adding 3-4 inches to your chest size. If you land between sizes, we recommend sizing up to the next size available. Tip: you should be able to comfortably zip or button your leather jacket all the way up, even if you plan to wear it open.
Shoulders: Suit coat rules do not apply to leather jackets, so it's okay if the shoulder comes down your arm a few inches. However, even though the leather will give over time if the shoulder seam is higher than your shoulder, the jacket is too small.
Waist: The bottom of your leather jacket should not reach below the bottom of your belt/top of your thigh. This is likely shorter than other overcoats you've owned, but a leather jacket that hangs well below the belt is too big unless you're wearing a long leather trench coat.
Sleeve Length: The proper sleeve length on a leather jacket is consistent with pretty much any jacket: sleeves should end at your wrist.

"Fits well looks good."
— Chris P. (5/5)
"This is my third Buffalo Jackson leather jacket. I first bought this jacket in the "distressed tan" color and loved it immediately. Yes it is a def texture and not as soft out of the bag as some others, but the leather will break in and loosen up as I wear it more; that's what leather does. The smell is great and the unique color is eye catching. love love love."
— Peter K. (5/5)
"I bought my first Buffalo Jackson jacket and am very pleased. The "distressed tan," or light brown is so unique and the leather texture has so much character. I see a lot of darker shades of brown leather running around, but not many sport the light brown. I love it! Is the leather buttery soft. . . ? No. Is the leather "broken in. . . "? No. But if you want super soft leather, get the lambskin stuff. Full grain cowhide leather is meant to be tough. It'll break in eventually after enough wears- the way is should be. I am very happy with this product and will be a returning customer soon!"
— Peter K. (5/5)
"This is my third Buffalo Jackson jacket, so I thought. Looking at the label this jacket along with another that I purchased has the name, Jack Andrews, who dat? This jacket which looks awesome, the leather is no where near as soft as the other two. So I went to Amazon to purchase a leather conditioner which I just received an even though the directions states to apply and then wipe out the excess I’m leaving it overnight and then reapplying tomorrow. I’ll probably use up the bottle and hopefully have a much softer jacket. Not sure why I’m putting all this effort conditioning the leather on this jacket, this should’ve happened at the shop before it was shipped, failure in quality control, probably."

"It’s more decorative but not as soft as my other two Buffalo Jackson jackets so I’m looking for some leather conditioners to help it along."
