Women's Cropped Avirex Studded Leather Jacket

Women’s Cropped Avirex Studded goatskin Leather Jacket

Made from 1.1mm genuine goatskin leather, this women’s cropped Avirex jacket combines a compact bomber silhouette with tonal branding and dark metallic stud detailing. It features a structured leather collar, a metallic front zipper, knitted rib cuffs and hem, two outside pockets and one internal pocket. The approximate weight is 1.5kg, giving the jacket a substantial feel without the longer cut of a traditional bomber.

A Cropped Leather Jacket with a Bold Avirex Identity

This Women’s Cropped Avirex Studded Leather Jacket takes the recognisable attitude of an Avirex-style bomber and reshapes it into a shorter, women’s-focused silhouette. The cropped body sits closer to the waist, making it easier to pair with high-waisted jeans, tailored trousers, skirts and fitted dresses.

Its black-on-black colour scheme keeps the jacket versatile, while the raised branding, leather appliqué work and metallic studs give it a much stronger presence than a plain black leather jacket. From a distance, the design looks tonal and controlled. Up close, the layered artwork, stud placement and panel construction become much more noticeable.

1.1mm Goatskin Leather

The outer shell is made from genuine goatskin leather with an approximate thickness of 1.1mm. This is a relatively substantial leather specification for a cropped fashion jacket, helping the body and collar retain their defined shape.

Goatskin is known for combining flexibility with good resistance to everyday wear. The natural grain can include small variations in texture, which are normal characteristics of genuine animal hide rather than manufacturing faults. Because the jacket also carries studs, raised appliqué and large back artwork, some areas will naturally feel firmer than an undecorated goatskin jacket.

The jacket weighs approximately 1.5kg. Actual weight can vary slightly by size because larger sizes require more leather, ribbing and hardware.

Stud Placement and Exterior Details

The stud work is not limited to one logo or isolated panel. It has been positioned across several visible parts of the jacket to create a balanced design:

• Small dark metallic studs cover the pointed leather collar.

• Rounded studs follow the shoulders and continue along the sleeves.

• Narrow studded leather strips frame the two angled outside pockets.

• Studs are set into and around the oversized Avirex back artwork.

• Additional studs highlight the raised lettering and lower USA branding.

The dark hardware works particularly well with the black leather because it adds texture without introducing a contrasting bright colour. The result is dramatic but still wearable with everyday black, white, grey and denim outfits.

Studded leather should be handled more carefully than plain leather. Bags with abrasive straps can rub against the shoulder detailing, while repeated contact with rough surfaces may scratch the hardware or leather finish.

Front Design, Collar and Pockets

The front has a clean cropped-bomber arrangement built around a centrally positioned metallic zipper. A substantial ring-style zipper pull makes the fastening easy to grip and contributes to the jacket’s hardware-led design.

A structured, pointed turn-down leather collar gives the neckline a sharper profile than the knitted collar normally found on a traditional bomber jacket. The collar is fully decorated with small studs, creating a visual link between the neckline, sleeves and back branding.

Two angled welt pockets are positioned at the lower front. Each opening is finished with a narrow leather border and stud detailing. The angled placement makes the pockets easier to reach while maintaining the streamlined shape of the cropped body.

One additional pocket is provided inside the jacket for smaller personal items. The exact lining material has not been specified, so no fabric-composition claim should be added unless confirmed by the manufacturer.

Back Artwork and Panel Construction

The back is the most detailed part of the jacket. Large, raised AVIREX lettering curves across the upper section, with a central crest-style emblem and USA lettering positioned below. Tonal black appliqué, embroidery-like texture and dark studs create depth without changing the all-black palette.

The jacket’s back is constructed using several clearly defined leather panels:

• Diagonal raglan-style seams run from the collar area towards the underarms.

• A large central back panel provides space for the oversized artwork.

• A vertical centre seam helps shape and stabilise the rear panel.

• A horizontal lower seam separates the main leather body from the cropped waistband.

• Tonal stitching keeps the construction visible without interrupting the black colour scheme.

These panel seams are functional as well as decorative. They help shape the leather around the shoulders and body while providing a stable base for the raised artwork.

Knitted Rib Cuffs and Cropped Hem

Black knitted rib is used at the cuffs and around the lower hem. The ribbing introduces controlled stretch at the wrists and waist, helping the jacket sit closer to the body while making it easier to move in.

The waistband is deliberately shorter than that of a full-length bomber jacket. At the centre front, the leather and zipper extend down between the ribbed sections, giving the closure a neat, structured finish.

Because body proportions vary, the hem may sit differently depending on the wearer’s height and torso length. Compare your measurements with our size guide, paying particular attention to the chest, shoulder width, sleeve length and jacket length.

Fit and Styling

This jacket has a cropped bomber-inspired profile, but its exact fit will depend on the selected size and the wearer’s measurements. Choose your usual size for a closer cropped appearance. If you want to wear it over a sweatshirt or heavier knit, compare the garment measurements carefully before selecting a larger size.

The cropped length works especially well with:

• High-waisted straight or wide-leg jeans

• Fitted black trousers

• Denim skirts and leather-look skirts

• Plain dresses that allow the studded artwork to stand out

• A fitted T-shirt or lightweight knit for a balanced silhouette

• Chunky boots or clean trainers for a casual streetwear finish

When to Wear It

The goatskin construction and 1.1mm thickness make this more substantial than a lightweight fabric jacket. However, warmth also depends on the unspecified lining, what is worn underneath and local weather conditions.

It is best treated as a fashion and casual outerwear piece for dry, mild-to-cool conditions. It should not be described as waterproof, windproof or protective motorcycle equipment unless relevant testing and certification are available.

Leather and Stud Care

• Wipe away surface dust using a clean, soft and dry cloth.

• Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach or soak the jacket.

• Keep it away from heavy rain and standing water.

• If it becomes wet, blot gently and leave it to dry naturally at room temperature.

• Never place leather directly beside a radiator, heater or strong heat source.

• Store it on a broad, padded hanger to support the shoulders.

• Avoid narrow wire hangers, which may distort the leather.

• Do not place it inside an airtight plastic bag for long-term storage.

• Keep abrasive handbag straps away from the studded shoulders.

• Periodically check the studs and appliqué edges for movement.

• Test any leather-care product on a hidden area before applying it widely.

• For stains, deep cleaning or loose decorative hardware, consult a professional leather cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this jacket made from real leather?

Yes. The supplied specification states that the outer shell is made from genuine goatskin leather.

How thick is the leather?

The goatskin is approximately 1.1mm thick. Natural hides are not perfectly uniform, so minor variation across different panels is normal.

How much does the jacket weigh?

Its approximate weight is 1.5kg. The final weight may vary slightly depending on the selected size and the amount of leather and hardware used.

Is this a full-length or cropped jacket?

It is a cropped jacket designed to finish around the waist rather than extending to the hips like many traditional bomber jackets. The exact position of the hem will depend on your height and torso length.

What type of collar does it have?

It has a structured, pointed turn-down leather collar decorated with small dark metallic studs.

Where are the studs positioned?

Studs appear across the collar, shoulders, sleeves, pocket borders and oversized back branding. Their dark finish complements the black leather and tonal artwork.

How many pockets are included?

The jacket has two angled outside pockets and one inside pocket.

Does it have ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem?

Yes. Black knitted rib is used at both cuffs and around the cropped lower hem.

What branding appears on the jacket?

Tonal Avirex branding appears on the front chest and across the back. The rear design includes oversized raised AVIREX lettering, a central crest-style emblem and USA lettering.

What is the lining made from?

The lining composition has not been provided. Confirm this detail before publishing a specific lining-material claim.

Is the jacket waterproof?

No tested waterproof rating has been supplied. Avoid wearing it in heavy rain and do not deliberately soak the leather.

Is it windproof?

No tested windproof rating has been provided. The leather exterior may reduce some light airflow, but the jacket should not be advertised as technically windproof.

Can it be used as a protective motorcycle jacket?

It is presented as a fashion leather jacket. No armour, abrasion certification or protective motorcycle rating has been specified.

How should I choose my size?

Measure your chest, shoulders, sleeve length and preferred cropped body length, then compare those measurements with the product size chart. If you plan to wear thicker layers underneath, allow enough room through the chest and arms.

Will every jacket look exactly the same?

The overall design should remain consistent, but genuine goatskin may display minor differences in grain and texture. Small natural variations are part of using real leather.

How should the studded areas be cleaned?

Use a soft, dry cloth and work gently around the hardware. Avoid abrasive brushes, aggressive polishing and soaking the studs. A professional leather cleaner should handle stubborn stains or loose decorative pieces.
