Biker-Style Jacket 

Overview:

The biker-style jacket—also known as a moto jacket—is an iconic outerwear piece inspired by classic motorcycle gear. Known for its sharp silhouette, asymmetric zip, and tough detailing, it combines edgy attitude with functional design. Whether in leather, faux leather, denim, or wool blends, it remains a wardrobe staple across both men’s and women’s fashion.
