Tom Ford Black Suede Double Riders Jacket with Leather Elbow Patches and Nappa Trim, Size 50, Made in Italy

A black suede double-zip biker from Tom Ford’s menswear house, cut in Italy with smooth leather elbow patches, nappa-faced pockets and a throat-latch collar that turns a classic motorcycle shape into evening wear.

The Piece

When Tom Ford launched his own menswear in 2007, leather and suede outerwear became one of the quiet pillars of the house: the motorcycle silhouette, kept recognisable, but refined through tailoring, softer skins and a palette that never strays far from black. These jackets are made in Italy in small numbers and rarely circulate once they find an owner, which is why a clean example in a wearable size is worth attention.

This is the double riders jacket in black suede. The asymmetric front closes with a two-way zip and a buckled throat latch at the collar, with snap lapels, shoulder epaulettes and snap-tab cuffs. The front carries three zipped pockets, their openings finished in smooth black nappa, and the elbows are reinforced with oval leather patches, a detail borrowed from shooting and riding jackets that gives the back view its character. Inside, a lining of rayon and cupro sits over a light polyester padding, with smooth leather facings around the front and an inner pocket.

On the body it is fitted rather than boxy, with a short length that sits at the belt and sleeves long enough to stack slightly at the wrist with the zips closed. Suede reads softer than polished leather, so it works as easily over a fine roll-neck or an open shirt as it does on a motorcycle.

It is the kind of piece Tom Ford customers keep for a decade: unmistakably luxurious up close, discreet from across a room.
