What Rare Jackets Is
A Different Kind of Outerwear Brand.
Rare Jackets is an independent online-only store operated as a sole proprietorship. We do not have physical stores, warehouses, or mass production. Every jacket is made to order specifically for the customer after the order is placed. We work with a network of manufacturing partners who handle cutting, stitching, and assembly using the materials and specifications shown on each product page. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with any third-party brands, designers, movies, or public figures. Any style names or inspirations are used only for descriptive purposes.
The conventional outerwear industry works like this: a brand designs a collection, manufactures thousands of units in batch production, stores them in a distribution warehouse, and sells from stock until inventory runs out. Prices include a wholesale markup on top of a retail markup on top of a logistics markup. By the time a jacket reaches the customer, the price often reflects three or four layers of margin rather than the actual value of the leather and labour.
Rare Jackets operate differently. We design and maintain a permanent collection of over 800 jacket styles. When you purchase, your jacket enters production. Our team sources the material, cuts the pattern, stitches the seams, fits the hardware, adds the lining, and completes the final inspection — all for your specific order. The result arrives at your door in 7–14 business days via FedEx, DHL, or UPS.
Our Materials : What Every Jacket Is Made From
We Only Use What We Tell You
The product page for every jacket on our site specifies the exact material. What it says is what you receive. We do not use undisclosed blends or substitute cheaper hides mid-production. Our quality control process includes a material check at the cutting stage and a final inspection before dispatch.
Exceptional materials require expert hands. Our craftsmen bring decades of specialized experience to the cutting table and the sewing machine. Because every piece is made to order, our tailors take the time to evaluate each hide, cutting patterns precisely to highlight the natural beauty and strength of the grain. From the reinforced stitching on primary seams to the careful placement of hardware and lining, every stage of construction is handled with meticulous attention to detail.
Our operations are managed digitally, allowing us to work directly with skilled workshops that focus on leather garment production. This structure enables us to offer a wide range of styles without relying on mass inventory or traditional retail markups.
A Note on Natural Variation
Leather is a natural material. No two hides are identical. You may notice slight differences in grain pattern, surface texture, or colour tone between the product photography and your jacket. These variations are inherent to genuine leather and are not manufacturing defects. They are the proof that your jacket was made from a real hide, not a synthetic substitute.
How Our Jackets Are Made
Production from Start to Finish
Once your order is confirmed, your jacket enters our production queue. Every jacket goes through the same structured construction process regardless of price point or style.
- Pattern cutting: The hide is cut to your size's precise pattern specifications. Shoulder width, chest, sleeve length, and body length are all determined at this stage. This is why size selection matters so much, the cut is irreversible.
- Seam construction: Primary seams are sewn with double-needle stitching for structural integrity. High-stress points , underarms, pocket openings, and waistbands, receive additional reinforcement.
- Hardware fitting: Zippers, snap closures, buckles, and D-rings are fitted and tested. We use YKK zippers on select premium styles. All hardware is checked for smooth operation before the jacket moves to lining.
- Lining: Viscose lining is the standard across our collection, fitted and sewn to the shell. Select styles feature faux shearling or faux fur lining as specified on the product page.
- Final inspection: Each completed jacket is examined for seam integrity, hardware function, lining alignment, and surface finish before being packaged for dispatch.
Standard production and shipping combined takes 7–14 business days. Express production and shipping takes 5–9 business days at an additional $40. If you need a jacket for a specific date, we recommend ordering express and building in at least one day of buffer.
