As the seasons change and temperatures drop, one article of clothing remains a constant in my collection: a leather jacket. No matter your go-to style, a classic leather jacket is a cornerstone of any well-curated capsule collection.
While my closet tends to drown in a sea of options, ranging from puffer jackets, wool coats, workwear blazers, and one-too-many fisherman sweaters, there’s one mainstay garment that always ends up off the hanger and on my shoulders, ready to elevate even the most mundane outfit: my Quince leather jacket.
There are any number of choices when it comes to this trend-proof, season-spanning outerwear staple, ranging from a broad spectrum of styles, designers, materials, and price points, but if I had to distill my favorite choice down to a single maker this year, it would undoubtedly be Quince, who happens to make my go-to jacket this season.
Design-forward details, like metal hardware and structure without rigidity, will make you feel like you’re getting a steal of a deal at only $150 compared to quality-comparable options—starting in the $500 and going up close to $1,000-range—from brands like AllSaints, Coach, and Sézane. I compared this jacket to a $900 piece found at Coach, and I honestly couldn’t see or feel the difference between the two.
If the motorcycle silhouette isn’t quite your style, Quince has several other leather outerwear options—most of which are under $250—to choose from. Scroll through below to check out some of the brand’s other bestsellers, or shop the entire leather outerwear collection here.
