Burgundy Leather Jackets in the UK

Burgundy sits between brown and oxblood. It is a deep red-brown that reads almost brown indoors and shows its red under daylight. On aged leather the colour is rarely flat. High wear points at the elbows, cuffs and shoulder seams lift towards a lighter russet, while panels that saw less sun stay dark. That variation is the difference between a vintage burgundy hide and a modern, evenly dyed one, and it is why no two jackets here look alike.

Burgundy is uncommon second hand. Most leather that reaches resale is black or brown, so this colour turns up in short runs and then goes. Buying used also gets a hide that has already settled. A new jacket in this colour arrives stiff and uniform. A worn one arrives soft, grain broken, colour already moved. You are buying the part that normally takes years to earn.

Why buy a burgundy leather jacket from Sheffield G

  • One of one, in a single size. No restock. When a jacket sells, its page goes dark.
  • Checked by hand by the head team at our Doncaster office before it is listed, then measured, graded, photographed, packed and posted from there.
  • Measured flat with a tape: chest pit to pit, shoulder, sleeve, length and waist. Vintage labels are ignored, because the measurement is the fact.
  • One grade, Very Good, and photographs with nothing edited to hide wear.

Mens burgundy leather jacket

Older cuts run shorter and boxier than modern ones, so a burgundy jacket cut decades ago sits higher on the hip and wider through the body than a current high street equivalent. Buy close to your chest measurement and let the shoulder decide. If you want the cleanest and shortest line in this colour family, the vintage cafe racer leather jackets are the place to look.

Burgundy leather biker jacket

Burgundy carries a biker cut well because the colour softens hardware that looks severe in black. Zips, studs and buckles read as brass and bronze against red-brown rather than as chrome against a flat ground. Judge the hardware from the photographs. On every jacket here the zips and studs work and the lining is sound, but decades-old ribbed knit at the cuff or hem can carry slack, and that is stated in the grade rather than hidden.

Maroon leather jacket

Maroon is what most people type when they mean this colour. There is no fixed line between the two words: maroon usually describes the browner, duller end and burgundy the redder end, and one jacket can look like both depending on the light. If a jacket here reads maroon to you, it is the same colour family. If you want more brown in it and less red, the vintage brown leather jackets are the next shelf along.

How to get the size right

Ignore the label. Sizing standards have moved several times since these were made, so a vintage 42 is not a modern 42. Every chest figure quoted here is pit to pit, measured flat. Double it for the chest measured around, then compare that against a jacket you own and like the fit of, measured the same way.

The size letter on each listing comes from that pit to pit figure, not from the label: 17in or less is XS, 18 to 19 is S, 20 to 21 is M, 22 to 23 is L, 24 to 25 is XL, and 26 or more is XXL. Leather softens and moulds to you with wear, but it never gains inches across the chest, so buy for the chest you have. The full size guide shows how each measurement is taken, and the grading standard sets out what Very Good covers.

Questions, answered

Burgundy is a deep red-brown that sits between brown and oxblood, and it is the shade most people mean when they search for a maroon leather jacket. It reads warmer than black and less severe than bright red, so it works with the same clothes a brown jacket would. On a second-hand rail it is far less common than brown or black, which is why burgundy tends to be the colour people hunt for rather than stumble on.

Buy by the flat measurements, not the vintage label, because every jacket here is a single garment in a single size and colour changes nothing about how leather fits. Lay a jacket that fits you flat, measure pit to pit, and compare it to the listing. Within an inch either way it will fit similarly. Older biker cuts usually run shorter and boxier than modern ones, and a heavily lined jacket wears smaller than it measures. Our guide on how to measure a leather jacket covers the method.

Burgundy leather holds its colour well in normal use, but like any dyed leather it will lighten if it lives in direct sunlight. Store it on a hanger away from radiators and strong sun, and condition it once or twice a year to keep the finish from drying out. Expect the high-wear points, elbows and cuffs, to soften and take on a little shine over time. On a restored vintage jacket that is character, not damage.

Check the measurements against a jacket you already own, the state of the zips, and honest photographs of the actual garment, because every second-hand jacket is one of one. Womens vintage cuts vary a lot, so we ignore the old label and publish five flat measurements for every jacket. Each one is graded Very Good, meaning sound structure, working hardware and a clean lining, and photographed with nothing edited to hide wear, creasing included. If you are unsure between two, message us before buying and we will give you a straight answer.
