Black Pelle Pelle True To Our Roots Leather Jacket

Black Pelle Pelle True to Our Roots Leather Jacket

Built for those who believe a leather jacket should be seen from every angle, the Black Pelle Pelle True to Our Roots Leather Jacket combines genuine sheepskin with oversized artwork, dimensional appliqués and light-catching rhinestone details. Its black-on-black foundation keeps the design wearable, while silver-toned outlines and metallic accents give the graphics definition under changing light.

The jacket is made from 100% genuine sheepskin leather with an approximate thickness of 0.8mm. This gives the shell a supple feel while providing enough structure to support its extensive embroidery and layered leather artwork.

True to Our Roots Artwork

The wearer’s left chest carries direct embroidered “True to Our Roots” lettering above a layered leather banner, circular MB emblem and prominent 1978 artwork. Tonal black embroidery blends into the leather from a distance, while silver-toned stitching and rhinestone placements reveal the design’s depth at closer range.

Marc Buchanan “MB” branding appears on the wearer’s left sleeve as a shaped leather appliqué with coordinated rhinestone decoration. The sleeves are divided into saddle-style leather panels, with contrasting silver-toned topstitching defining the panel edges without interrupting the jacket’s predominantly black palette.

The back creates the strongest visual statement. Oversized two-layer Pelle Pelle leather appliqué lettering stretches across the shoulders, supported by True to Our Roots artwork, a circular MB emblem, embroidered script, 1978 detailing and a Marc Buchanan-style signature. Multiple rhinestone placements follow the lettering and graphic outlines, producing texture and controlled shine rather than relying on a flat printed design.

Bomber Construction and Visible Stitching

A structured leather point collar frames the neckline and features clean double-row edge stitching. The front closes with a metal zipper and a custom Pelle Pelle-branded zipper pull. Its straight center closure keeps the jacket balanced and allows the detailed chest artwork to remain the focal point.

Two vertical leather-welt hand pockets are integrated into the lower front. These pockets are not zippered, providing straightforward access while preserving the clean appearance of the jacket. Their edges are reinforced with close parallel topstitching that coordinates with the collar, front panels and sleeve seams.

Tonal black stitching joins the main leather sections, while double-row topstitching strengthens and defines visible edges. Silver-toned outline stitching is reserved for the appliqués, numerals and decorative components, helping each graphic layer stand apart from the black sheepskin. The combination creates a detailed finish without making the jacket appear excessively colorful.

The silhouette is completed with a heavy 2x2 knitted rib hem and matching ribbed cuffs. These substantial rib sections bring the leather body inward at the waist and wrists, creating the recognizable shape of a classic bomber.

Embroidered Satin Interior

Inside, a smooth satin lining helps the jacket slide comfortably over shirts, sweatshirts and lightweight knitwear. The lining carries outlined direct Pelle Pelle embroidery, extending the graphic treatment beyond the exterior instead of leaving the interior completely plain.

Interior storage is incorporated into the lining, including a secure zippered pocket for smaller belongings. The pocket is neatly set into the satin and finished with a metal zipper, providing a practical place for items that should remain more protected than they would in the open hand pockets.

Fit and Styling

This design has a substantial bomber profile that works best when the chest and back artwork can lie naturally without being pulled tight. The shoulders should remain balanced, the sleeves should finish near the wrists and the ribbed hem should sit securely without rolling upward. Before selecting a size, compare your measurements with our leather jacket size guide.

Wear this black Pelle Pelle leather jacket over a plain black or white T-shirt to keep attention on its appliqués and embroidery. Relaxed denim and sneakers reinforce its hip-hop-inspired character, while black trousers and leather boots create a sharper monochrome outfit. Because the jacket already combines lettering, rhinestones and layered leather artwork, simple supporting pieces produce the most balanced result.

How to Care for the Leather and Decoration

Do not machine wash, soak or tumble-dry this jacket. Remove light surface dust with a clean, soft cloth, working carefully around the rhinestones, embroidered areas and raised appliqué edges. Avoid stiff brushes and aggressive rubbing, which may scratch the leather or place unnecessary strain on the decorative components.

If the jacket becomes damp, blot away excess moisture and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature. Keep it away from radiators, hair dryers and direct sunlight. Store it on a wide, supportive hanger with enough space to prevent the large back appliqué from being crushed. More detailed guidance is available in our complete leather jacket care guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this Pelle Pelle jacket be washed at home?

No. Water immersion and household detergents can affect the leather finish, satin lining, embroidery and rhinestone settings. Light dust can be removed carefully at home, but deep stains should be handled by a professional cleaner experienced with decorated leather garments.

How should I clean around the rhinestones and appliqués?

Use a dry or barely damp microfiber cloth and apply minimal pressure. Clean around the decoration rather than rubbing directly across raised stones or appliqué edges. If a rhinestone loosens, keep it safe and have it professionally reattached.

Will genuine sheepskin become softer with wear?

Sheepskin generally becomes more responsive as it is worn, particularly around the elbows and other natural movement areas. Allow the jacket to break in gradually; do not soak, stretch or over-condition the leather in an attempt to soften it faster.

How should I store the oversized back artwork?

Hang the jacket on a broad hanger and leave space between it and surrounding clothes. Avoid folding the appliqué or placing heavy garments against the back. A breathable garment cover can protect it from dust during longer storage without trapping moisture.

Is this jacket heavier than a plain leather bomber?

The layered leather appliqués, embroidery, rhinestones and heavy ribbed trims add substance compared with a minimally decorated jacket. This structured feel is part of the design, but selecting the correct size remains important for comfortable shoulder and arm movement.
