There's no time wasted embarking on your alpine adventure. The frosty gondola doors open, beginning their morning rounds as you arrive. High upon the panoramic ridge, you plot your course, traversing and descending your way back towards the base, back towards the roaring fire that awaits in the lodge. There too, awaits your Bridger.
Full grain lambskin leather meets warm down feathers in one eye-catching jacket defined by unparalleled comfort and style. On any mountain, in any range, the Bridger Leather Down Jacket is built to keep you feeling as good as it looks from first tracks to apres. High-end without being flashy, the ruggedness of this leather down jacket includes details like an interior left-side chest pocket and antique brass finishing on the zipper front closure and zippered hand pockets. The 100% full grain lambskin leather feels as good as it looks, and the down insulation provides the warmth you need along with durable 100% polyester lining.
The jacket for the man who refuses to choose between warmth and style. Real down insulation inside full-grain lambskin leather. Throw it on over a flannel for a Saturday in the mountains or a button-down for a Monday in the city. It handles both without trying. The leather breaks in over the first few weeks and molds to the way you move. By February, it feels like it was made for you. Because by then, it was.

The man who refuses to choose between warmth and style.

One size up: Adds room for a flannel, midweight sweater, or thermal base layer.
Cinch toggle hem allows fit adjustment after sizing.
Care
Condition the leather every 3 to 6 months. Avoid machine washing. If wet, air dry naturally, never near direct heat. Store on a wide hanger.

Product FAQs
How warm is the Bridger?
Uses 80/20 down insulation with 530 fill power inside a full-grain lambskin shell. Customers report wearing it in sub-zero temps. For extreme cold, layer a wool sweater underneath.
What's the difference between the Dark Brown and Light Brown?
The construction, materials, and warmth are identical. The Dark Brown is a deeper, richer color that hides daily wear and dust better than the lighter shades. The Light Brown develops a more visible patina at the elbows and shoulders.
How does the Bridger fit?
Use the WaiR tool on this page for a personalized size recommendation. Generally true to size. In between sizes, size up. The leather conforms to your shape over the first few weeks.
How do I care for it?
Condition the leather every 3 to 6 months. Avoid machine washing. If wet, air dry naturally, never near direct heat. Store on a wide hanger.
Is the leather waterproof?
Lambskin is naturally water-resistant but not waterproof. Handles snow flurries and a light rain. In sustained rain, the leather absorbs water and the down loses loft. Wipe dry promptly after wet weather.
Can the down be re-fluffed?
Yes. Hang the jacket and gently pat each panel by hand to redistribute the fill. If sections feel flat after long storage, hang in a steamy bathroom for ten minutes and pat again. Avoid putting a leather jacket in a dryer.
What's the warranty?
A one year warranty covers stitching, hardware, and structural defects. Normal patina and wear marks are part of how the product is meant to age and are not defects.

How to Measure Yourself
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.
How should a leather jacket fit?
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.

The process to exchange was incredibly simple and fast. The quick turnaround was very much appreciated. Overall: Highly recommend this jacket. Looks great, feels great, performs great. My only struggle currently, is saving up to buy another color."
