The Jacket Maker
A quilted black leather jacket from The Jacket Maker
I was gifted this to try out, and I can definitely confirm the quality is top-notch. The leather is suuuper soft, and the quilted accents make it stand out a little more than other black leather jackets. You also have the option of ordering a "made to measure" jacket (for $50 more) so you can feel confident knowing you're investing in something that's literally made for you.

Another promising review: "The jacket arrived today, and I am incredibly impressed. Excellent quality leather without an overwhelming smell. I had to buy and return a number of leather jackets before finding this one (because of poor quality, sizing, etc.), so I would advise you to save yourself some time and purchase this one without worry." —CP

Available in sizes S–5XL.

A chic Overland washed black leather jacket complete with a sleek neckline
Promising review: "This supple leather jacket exceeded my expectations. I ordered it with the hope it was 'the one' I'd been looking for. It is and then some! The lightweight buttery leather jacket hangs perfectly. It's slightly tailored and hits just above the waist. The collar can be worn up or folded down for two separate looks. I absolutely love it! If you're on the fence about ordering it online, pull the trigger. You won't regret it." —Alison

Available in sizes XXXS–XXL.
8
A statement black leather jacket showcasing a short or long peplum hem
Promising review: "WOW! After seeing the high-end designer version of this jacket, I went bananas for it. But I couldn’t justify the price for what is — truly speaking, a novelty piece. After seeing this piece and reading the reviews, I decided to give it a go! So HAPPY I did. The company followed up with measurement requests and confirmed again after receipt. When I received the jacket, I was THRILLED. So much so I wore it around the house with my pajama bottoms. It did need a little pressing, which I did by laying a T-shirt over it with a temp-sensitive iron. Worked like a charm. The fit, the softness, the service, and price all made this my new favorite piece!!! Can’t wait to debut it." —The Style Bits

Neiman Marcus
An edgy Blanc Noir quilted leather and mesh moto jacket
Promising review: "I love my jacket without reservation. There’s nothing not to like! It’s a fall weather jacket with quilted leather sections and stretchy mesh fabric that seem to modify my temperature enough so I don’t take it off during the warmer hours of the day. It’s unique (which I love) so EVERYONE doesn’t have one, and it’s genuine leather. It’s edgy, so if you don’t want attention this jacket isn’t for you. Otherwise it’s true to size but does stretch for heavier garments so it can be layered. It returns to size right away, and the underarms haven’t beaded up. I’ve worn it every day since I bought it. I am very happy." —Alithia T.

Available in sizes XS–L.

The wait was worth it when I found this leather jacket by Milwaukee Leather. The jacket is beautiful...and functional...everything I had been looking for...and at a reasonable price. Hallelujah! Also important to note: Measure yourself, read the size chart, and order accordingly. I could not be happier. Excellent quality item that should last a lifetime." —kd

Available in sizes XS–5XL.
16
An STS Ranchwear black leather jacket crafted with fringe
Promising review: "This is the best jacket ever! You can’t go wrong with STS, but dang they outdid themselves. The quality is amazing, and the fringe is so fun and edgy! It is meant to be a fitted jacket. I normally wear a medium but sized up to a large so I can wear layers under it and have a looser more casual feel. Love this jacket and am so glad I bought it. Would highly recommend." —MountainMama

Available in sizes XS–XL.
17

19
A unique black leather jacket boasting a drape-like design
Promising review: "Gorgeous, perfect, awesome jacket. It looks and fits exactly as pictured; the lambskin leather is buttery soft and smells soooo good. The lining is throughout, and the fabric detailing along the bottom seam of the sleeves gives it stretch to fit my muscular upper arms nicely. Ordering based my exact body measurements gave me the just right fit. Overall, I love this jacket, and can't wait till it's cool enough here to wear this out. This jacket is very well made and will likely last a lifetime." —Island Girl

Available in regular sizes S–3X and petite sizes M–3X.
20
A top-rated Madewell washed leather motorcycle jacket
Note: Some reviewers say this jacket runs a size small.

Promising review: "This jacket is my child. I've had this leather jacket for a year now, and believe me when I say I wear it literally every day that it's below 75 degrees. It's almost cropped and is a little higher in the back. The bottom of the sleeves get so soft over time that I literally just touch them even when I'm not wearing the jacket. This jacket is worth the money. I wear it almost every day, get constant compliments, and it'll last forever." —GR8NYC

Available in sizes XXS–XXL.

Promising review: "I don't do Amazon reviews often, but I had to for this. It's really good quality, and the thickness is what you'd expect with a leather jacket. It's also super cute and fashionable, and I'm sure it'll keep me warm for most of the Denver, Colorado winter, especially since I can put thicker clothing beneath it. For later summer into fall and early winter with something warmer underneath, this jacket should treat you well!" —samantha

Available in sizes XS–3XL.
24
A reversible Overland leather jacket for those of us who are a tad indecisive
Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this jacket. I liked it when I saw it online but the pictures didn't do justice for the actual item. The leather is feathery soft, the workmanship is superb, and the style is chic. I love both sides of the jacket; imagine getting two jackets in one! It will be great for any occasion, dressing up or down, and especially perfect for fall or spring travel." —Lafayette

Available in sizes XXS–XL.

Angel Jackets
A peplum leather jacket from Angel Jackets
Promising review: "I absolutely love this leather jacket! The material is soft and comfortable. It's real leather so for me that's a plus, considering that I've never owned any leather clothing in my entire existence. It fits well, and I even have some space if I want to wear a sweater underneath. The jacket is beautifully made and is easily one of the most attractive pieces of clothing I own. I love this leather jacket so much. If you are looking for a real leather jacket for a reasonable price I recommend this one." —Nicole

Originally $260; available in sizes XS–3XL.
28
White House Black Market
A White House Black Market leather motorcycle jacket created with ruffle details
Promising review: "This leather jacket is nice overall. Five stars for packaging! It came very nicely packaged. I give 5 stars for being true to size. The overall fit and feel of the jacket is a relaxed fit, and that's why you can wear a thin sweater under this. The ruffles on the shoulder gives the shoulders an overall square look. Also, the cut of the sleeves are more wide than narrow and the sleeves are puffed out a little bit at the top of the sleeves. When you wear this jacket, the jacket looks somewhat oversized on you because of the ruffles on the shoulders and because of the wide cut of the sleeves. Overall, this is a nice leather jacket. The leather is super soft." —Parisgirl23

Available in sizes XXS–XL.
29
Neiman Marcus
And a bestselling Michael Kors black leather jacket featuring a cropped hem
Promising review: "After looking for a moto jacket for years, this is the one! I like that the hardware is understated and sort of dark silver. The leather is soft and the collar lays well both unzipped and zipped. It looks great with dresses for going to and from work which is what I wanted it for." —Mari V.

Available in sizes 1X–3X.

"I absolutely love this jacket and can't wait to wear it! Came super quick, fits perfect with some room for bulkier clothing underneath. No flaws or loose strings as some others indicated. It's a lightweight jacket so definitely not for weather less than probably 50°f (I get cold easy) but super cute and comfortable. I'm currently a M-L depending on fit/cut. This is a perfect fall "pumpkin" color and if you're considering this, just BUY IT! You won't be sorry." — Kim Rector

A checkered wool coat(06 of19)

Promising review: "By far my favorite Amazon purchase! Follow the size chart for an accurate fit. Thought this would be a great fall jacket, to my surprise, it is heavier than it appears and very well lined. This coat is too heavy to wear on days where the temps are above 45 degrees Fahrenheit. I receive tons of compliments whenever I wear this coat and will purchase a couple more patterns...My mother has placed one of these coats on her Christmas list this year. Buy the coat!" — J. White (credit:amazon.com)
A colorful button-up tweed jacket(07 of19)

Promising review: "So adorable, love it! Runs a little large, if you’re in between sizes, go down. I could probably go small but my shoulders I think would be too tight so keeping Medium.

A hooded longline puffer coat(08 of19)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I absolutely love this coat!! Totally recommend. I was a little worried when they didn't have a large in stock and everyone was saying to size up, but I took the chance, stayed true to size and got the medium. I am 140 lb and 5.4. It fit perfectly! I would have been swimming in a large! I bought this specifically for our trip to Iceland. I wanted something warm, waterproof and longer than waist length. Best. Purchase. Ever. The price is awesome compared to so many other coats I was looking at that didn't have good reviews. I could wear multiple layers underneath without ever feeling bulky or tight, but ended up shedding layers at times because the coat was so warm by itself and the hood stays on perfectly! It totally is waterproof! I tested this first hand in much rain and waterfall mist. The only issue I noticed is if I didn't zip the pockets up fully, the pocket liners would get wet and then get my thighs wet under the coat. But as long as the zippers were all the way up it wasn't an issue. The main zipper is a little hard to get started sometimes, but once you do get it, it glides all the way up perfectly. It totally DOES FIT IN THE BAG!! It was a two man job that required folding and rolling it like a sleeping bag super slowly to get the air out, but it did fit! Twice! Both the way there and back. :) Overall, maybe the larger sizes of this coat need to size up, but if your anywhere from a small to a large, I don't think its necessary. I would buy this again in a heart beat and definitely think you should buy it if your considering." — Ryan Hoogmoed (credit:amazon.com)

Promising review: "Not only did this arrive before expected, it is so expensive looking and the silk interior gives the jacket an extra pop of elegance. Definitely my favorite jacket by far!!! Important to note that this jacket is more for fashion than warmth. But you can layer with sweaters and jackets. I ordered my typical size with Calvin, and it fits perfectly! A little loose in the waist, but I can layer underneath. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!" — Anonymous (credit:amazon.com)

Open Image Modal
Promising review: "I bought this coat when I went to NYC last January. I live in Florida and the weather in NY was in the 20s and 30s and I thought I was going to die because I had no coats to pack. Hence my purchase of this coat and HOLY CRAP IT WAS SO WORTH IT. It has a double-layer skirt on the bottom so it kept my legs surprisingly warm, it has pockets, AND- the best part- the faux-fur portion can be folded and buttoned together to create a sort of scarf. I don't have a picture of that part though. I got a ton of compliments on it, and I felt warm and confident all night long. You know those outfits you put on and all of a sudden you feel like you can run the world if you wanted to? That's this coat. Also I'm 5'3" about 130lbs, typically a six in dresses, and I ordered the small which was perfect. I will say, it does get a little snug in the shoulders so keep that in mind when choosing a size!" — Amazon customer (credit:amazon.com)
A unique flowy patchwork trench coat(16 of19)

Promising review: "I saw this light coat and instantly wanted to build my fall/winter wardrobe around it, but worried it would be cheaply made. Well, I was wrong and I am so happy! Well made, beautiful colors, and it fits great (bought a L/XL and am a 5'5" and 165 pounds). This is my signature piece, and I love it!" — Teresa McCoy-Lucas (credit:amazon.com)
A cropped corduroy jacket(17 of19)

Promising review: "Absolutely obsessed!! I bought this jacket in XL in both the blue and apricot colors, and I can not recommend it enough!!! Took these on vacation and wore them almost every day with different outfits. It is the perfect amount of lightweight, leaves a little room under for a sweatshirt if you wanted, crops just at the right spot, and is just so stinking cute!" — Toni-ann C (credit:amazon.com)
A open-front fleece jacket(18 of19)

Promising review: "GUYS omg this jacket is definitely a hidden gem. It's so soft and makes you look so sophisticated!! It does shed a little at first, so definitely wash this before you wear it unless you want little specks all over your clothes- I learned the hard way LOL. However, I wore this outfit in 50 degree Fahrenheit weather and it kept me warm! This is definitely one of those "blanket- but make it fashion" pieces HAHA I love it so much. I'm 5'1" and ordered the camel in size s!! I think it was made to be oversized so just order your usual size! Love it!!" — @KATHY_VU (credit:amazon.com)

Promising review: "I've lived in Chicago all my life so I'm use to the horrible winter cold, but i'm not a coat person. I usually bundle up with sweaters, but due to my hubby complaining about me not wearing a coat, I decided to order one. At first I wasn't sure so I searched for a couple of months. I came across this coat, after reading the reviews I decided to order. I absolutely love it. It's not bulky, and it's warm enough for Chicago weather. I've gotten so many compliments. Hubby is happy and loves it also. Very stylish, well made, great buy. I ordered the 2XL to be on the safe side. Fits perfect as I usually wear bulky sweaters. No complaints, Love Love Love this coat. Highly recommended." — J. Rios (credit:amazon.com)
