Understanding leather jacket styles is essential for wholesale buyers. Each style has a distinct silhouette, target customer, and price point — knowing the difference helps you stock what actually sells in your market. This guide covers the six most popular leather jacket styles stocked by UK, EU, and US retailers in 2026.
1. Classic Biker Jacket (Moto Jacket)

Wholesale price (100 pcs): $65–$72 per piece
2. Bomber Jacket
Bomber Jacket (Flight Jacket / MA-1)
