Vintage Men's Wilson Suede & Leather Leather Jacket Size 40

Step into a piece of 1980s fashion history with this Vintage Men's Wilsons Suede & Leather bomber jacket. Crafted in the early 1980s, it blends rugged, genuine leather with a warm, timeless finish that only years of wear can refine. The rich reddish-brown hue and the natural grain give every jacket a distinct patina, making it feel like a personal, well-loved heirloom from the moment you wear it.

Why this jacket stands apart

• Authentic vintage craftsmanship from Wilsons Suede & Leather, a name associated with durable materials and a lasting silhouette.
• Genuine leather outer designed to age gracefully, developing character and depth that simply isn’t replicated by modern synthetic alternatives.
• Removable acrylic pile lining adds warmth when you need it and can be peeled away for a lighter feel during milder days.
• Stand-up collar with a measured 2" height for a structured look and extra wind protection.
• Classic bomber style that pairs effortlessly with denim, cords, or chinos for versatile, everyday wear.
• Size 40 with precise measurements—a reliable fit for layering while preserving a clean, vintage silhouette.

Measurements and fit

Designed to fit comfortably over what you wear on cool days, this jacket lists a shoulder-to-shoulder span of 19 inches, a pit-to-pit width of 20 inches, and a total length of 26 inches measured with the stand-up collar in mind. The collar itself adds a further 2 inches of height, giving the piece a structured, true-bomber profile. These measurements translate to a chest measurement around 40 inches when laid flat, aligning with the stated size 40 tag. Layer a light knit or shirt underneath for everyday wear, or lean into the vintage vibe with a simple tee and jeans.

Ideal use cases

• Everyday cool-weather layering for autumn and early winter, with the removable lining offering seasonal flexibility.
• Statement outerwear for casual Fridays, date nights, or weekend adventures where a durable, stylish piece matters.
• Vintage wardrobes and collectors seeking authentic, age-appropriate pieces with history and character.

Care, preservation, and longevity

To preserve the leather’s natural patina and integrity, wipe away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth and condition periodically with products designed for genuine leather. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying. When the acrylic pile lining is in use, ensure it’s completely dry before reinserting. For any heavy cleaning or conditioning, consider professional leather care to maintain the jacket’s color, grain, and overall structure.
