Okay, real talk, finding a good leather jacket online is like dating on apps. Lots of options, tons of red flags, and a few that actually make you think, “Hmm, maybe this one’s the real deal.”
So, when I kept seeing Fan Jackets pop up in my searches, I figured it was time to check them out. I mean, they look promising sleek designs, real leather, and prices that don’t make your wallet cry.
But you know the drill. Pretty pictures don’t always mean pretty reality. So, are Fan Jackets hooded jackets legit? Here’s my honest take after digging in.
First Impressions: So Far, So Good
Fan Jackets isn’t new to the scene they’ve been around since 2013 (which in online fashion years is basically forever). That gave me some hope right away. I also liked that their site wasn’t trying too hard. It’s clean, easy to navigate, and gives off a we’re-not-a-sketchy-pop-up-brand vibe.
The jacket section? Solid lineup. I’m talking classic black leather, retro tan, some quilted ones, a nice mix without going overboard. They even have options for women’s leather hooded jackets that you guys should definitely check out.
What’s the Hype? Let’s Talk Quality
Here’s where things got interesting.
I ordered one of their matte black leather hooded jackets, and when it arrived, I was honestly impressed. The leather was soft, not that plasticky stuff you sometimes get with cheaper brands. It had a nice weight to it not too heavy, not flimsy and felt like it could actually handle a bit of wear.
Also, the details? Ribbed cuffs, smooth zipper, neat stitching. Nothing felt cheap or rushed.
How It Fits: A Little Tip
Fit-wise, it’s pretty true to size, but I’d say if you’re in between sizes or want to layer a hoodie underneath, size up. Mine fit just right over a tee, but might be snug over anything thicker.
What Other People Are Saying (Because I Stalked the Reviews)
Before buying, I did my usual deep-dive on Trustpilot and their own site and wow, they’ve got good reviews with a 4.8-star rating. That’s not nothing.
Most people are saying the same thing I experienced:
- Quality leather
- Smooth ordering and fast shipping
- Decent sizing (with some minor feedback on snug fits)
- Customer service that actually replies
Shipping & Returns Any Drama?
Nope. It shipped in like 3 days, came with tracking, and was well-packaged (in a reusable storage bag, which I love). Shipping is free, and returns are also free in the U.S., which is rare these days.
So, if you’re worried about getting the wrong size or just changing your mind you’re not stuck.
Final Verdict: Would I Recommend It?
Honestly? Yeah.
Would I buy from them again? 100% yes. In fact, I’ve got my eye on the brown suede version next…
In Conclusion
- Price: Not cheap, not designer, but worth it.
- Quality: Real leather, sturdy hardware, great stitching.
- Fit: True to size, but size up if layering.
- Shipping: Fast & free.
- Vibe: Classic, versatile, a little edgy, very wearable.
