A reversible leather jacket that adapts to your style—and the weather.

The BACKWARDS Reversible Plunge Black by The Jack Leathers is a rare find: a leather jacket that doesn’t just look good but also responds to the elements. Crafted from fine, lightweight lambskin—known in the trade as "plonge"—it offers surprising warmth even in sub-zero temperatures. The genius lies in its duality: one side is pure leather, with a biker-inspired collar that nods to the rebellious spirit of classic motorcycle jackets. The other? A quilted polyester lining that transforms it into a sleek, urban puffer. No fur, no fuss—just a jacket that works as hard as you do, whatever the season.

Two jackets in one, without the bulk.

Reversible leather jackets are a challenge to design—balancing weight, structure, and style without compromising on either side. The Jack Leathers has pulled it off with this model, using lambskin plonge, a type of leather prized for its softness and flexibility. It’s thin enough to fold away neatly when not in use (yes, it’s compactable) but sturdy enough to hold its shape. The biker collar on the leather side isn’t just for show; it’s a functional detail that shields the neck from wind, while the quilted lining on the reverse adds an unexpected layer of insulation. Whether you’re layering it over a hoodie for a casual weekend look or throwing it on over a shirt for a night out, it adapts effortlessly.

From the streets of Milan to your wardrobe.

The Jack Leathers is an Italian brand with a deep respect for quality manufacturing, and it shows in the details. The plonge lambskin used here is a nod to the kind of leather traditionally favoured by luxury houses for its buttery texture and durability. Unlike heavier cowhide, it moulds to the body over time, developing a patina that tells your story. The reversible design is a modern twist on a classic, offering two distinct aesthetics in one piece. Wear it leather-side out for a sharp, timeless look that pairs perfectly with jeans and boots, or flip it to the quilted side for a contemporary, streetwear-inspired vibe. It’s a jacket that doesn’t just follow trends—it sets them.

Pieces that feel both timeless and fresh, designed for those who appreciate quality as much as they do style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thickness of the lambskin leather used?

The lambskin leather, known as 'plonge', is fine and lightweight, typically around 0.8 to 1.2 millimetres thick. This makes it supple yet durable, offering a balance between protection and comfort.

How does the reversible feature affect the fit?

The reversible design is crafted to maintain a consistent fit whether worn as a leather jacket or with the quilted side out. The construction ensures the jacket doesn’t feel bulky, though the quilted side may offer a slightly looser silhouette for layering.

Is the quilted side windproof?

The quilted polyester side provides some wind resistance due to its tightly woven fabric and padding, but it is not fully windproof. It is designed more for style and light insulation rather than extreme weather protection.

Can the jacket be packed into its own pocket or pouch?

Yes, the jacket is compactable and can be folded into a small, portable size for easy storage or travel. However, it does not include a dedicated pocket or pouch for packing.

How should I care for the lambskin leather side?

To maintain the lambskin leather, avoid exposing it to excessive moisture and clean it with a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for fine leathers to keep it supple. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Does the quilted side require any special maintenance?

The quilted polyester side can be spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the padding and fabric. Air drying is recommended.

What is the warmth level of this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket provides moderate warmth, suitable for temperatures slightly below freezing when layered appropriately. The lambskin side offers better insulation than the quilted side, but neither is designed for extreme cold without additional layers.
