It is a proper biker jacket first and a film tribute second, so it works on the road and off it.

The T2 Look in Heavy Black Leather

In the film, the T-800 walks into a biker bar and walks out in a borrowed leather jacket, boots and sunglasses. That outfit became one of the most recognisable looks of the nineties. Our version keeps the elements that matter: an asymmetrical zip front, wide lapels that snap down, chunky silver-tone zips and a buckled belt at the waist.

The leather is heavyweight genuine black leather. It feels solid when you first put it on and softens with wear, moulding to your shoulders and elbows over the first few months. Zipped pockets on the front hold a phone, wallet and keys securely, and zips at the cuffs let you tighten or open the sleeves. This is an inspired design, not official Terminator merchandise.

Styling, Fit and Leather Care

For the T2 look, wear a plain black tee, black jeans or leather trousers, heavy boots and dark sunglasses. For everyday wear, swap in faded denim and a grey tee, and leave the belt unbuckled for a looser look.

Biker jackets are meant to fit close, especially across the shoulders and arms. Order your usual size for a snug fit over a tee. If you want room for a hoodie underneath, go up one size and use the belt to pull the waist in. Expect the leather to feel firm at first; it relaxes with wear.

To care for it, wipe it down with a soft cloth after riding, condition the leather two or three times a year and hang it on a sturdy, wide hanger. Let it dry naturally if it gets wet, and keep it away from heaters and direct sunlight so the leather does not crack.
