How to Choose a Tom Hardy-Style Leather Jacket
- Pick dark colours: black and deep brown suit his look best and go with everything.
- Choose texture over shine: a matte or distressed finish looks more like his on-screen jackets than glossy leather.
- Get the shoulders right: the shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder, with enough room to move your arms freely.
- Expect a little break-in: new leather can feel slightly stiff at first and softens with wear, but it does not stretch much, so choose a fit that is comfortable from day one.
- Use custom sizing if needed: most of our styles come in sizes XS to 4XL, many go up to 5XL, and custom sizing is available. See the size guide.
How to Wear It Like Tom Hardy
- Keep the base plain: a white, grey or black tee, or a dark knit.
- Stick to dark jeans or cargo trousers: they suit the rugged feel of these jackets.
- Finish with boots: work boots or engineer boots for biker and Mad Max looks; clean leather boots for MobLand and This Means War.
- Layer for winter: a hoodie under a biker jacket, or a heavy coat like the Bane style on its own.
Caring for Your Leather Jacket
Hang it on a wide, padded hanger, keep it out of direct sun, wipe off marks with a soft, damp cloth and condition smooth leather every few months. Distressed leather is meant to look worn, so you do not need to polish it. For step-by-step help, read how to clean your leather jacket.
