Men Pelle Pelle Leather Jacket

Men’s Royal Pelle Pelle New York Knicks Leather Jacket

Royal blue leather, vivid orange artwork and detailed New York basketball graphics make this men’s Pelle Pelle leather jacket a true statement piece. Its outer shell is constructed from 100% genuine plush sheepskin, providing a smooth, supple surface for the layered leather appliqués, rhinestones and embroidered details.

The jacket follows a classic bomber profile with a leather point collar, straight center zipper and heavy 2x2 ribbed cuffs and hem. For more graphic designs with Pelle Pelle’s recognizable appliqué work, explore our complete Pelle Pelle jackets collection.

What Makes This Colorway Different

The Royal blue leather shell creates a much brighter appearance than a conventional black leather jacket. Orange is used throughout the New York lettering, basketball graphics, sleeve patches, collar piping and back artwork. White leather underlays, black borders and metallic accents keep the orange graphics clearly separated from the blue background.

Small rhinestones are placed within the front and back lettering, while additional stones are scattered across selected sections of the back panel. This combination creates controlled shine without covering the natural surface of the sheepskin.

Construction Walkthrough

1. Leather Collar and Branded Closure

A wide Royal blue point collar frames the neckline. Fine orange piping runs along the collar edge, creating a narrow contrast line that connects the neckline with the jacket’s orange artwork. Parallel tonal topstitching helps the collar points retain their defined shape.

A silver-tone metal zipper forms the center closure. It is finished with a custom Pelle Pelle-branded pull and bordered by narrow leather facings that strengthen the front opening.

2. Arched New York Front Artwork

Large two-layer “New York” leather-appliqué lettering extends across the chest and is divided by the center zipper. Orange upper letters are mounted over white leather underlays, producing a raised border around every character.

Close orange and white edge stitching secures the separate leather layers. Rows of rhinestones follow the internal shape of each letter, giving the front graphic a dimensional finish rather than the appearance of a flat print.

The wearer’s right chest carries a circular Knicks basketball patch in orange, white and black. Concentric leather sections and multiple rows of contrast stitching form the ball and surrounding border.

A Pelle Pelle New York-themed crest is positioned on the wearer’s left chest. This layered patch combines building-inspired shapes, Pelle Pelle lettering, an orange basketball and Marc Buchanan branding.

3. Championship-Themed Sleeves

A leather patch marked with 2026 NBA Champions-themed artwork appears on the wearer’s right sleeve. The design combines a trophy, basketball, hoop, Knicks lettering and Eastern Conference details using orange, white, black and metallic gold accents.

Applied Pelle Pelle artwork runs along the wearer’s left sleeve. Additional orange leather lettering and large dimensional graphics continue toward the forearm, ensuring that the sleeve design remains visible from both the front and side.

Near the wearer’s left cuff, FISLL leather branding is applied in orange and completed with individual rhinestone placements. Horizontal sleeve seams divide the upper and lower arm panels and are reinforced with tonal topstitching.

4. Oversized Back Composition

The back begins with oversized two-layer “Pelle Pelle” lettering across the shoulders. Orange leather forms the upper layer, while white leather creates a contrasting outline. Rhinestones are arranged inside each letter, with additional stones positioned across the surrounding Royal blue panel.

Below the main branding, large Knicks lettering, an orange basketball and geometric black-and-white leather sections create the center graphic. The numbers “19” and “46” appear on either side, while orange ribbons carrying 2026 NBA Champions-themed and limited-edition wording frame the lower portion.

A polished metal “MB” badge is integrated into the center of the artwork. Marc Buchanan’s black script signature finishes the design above the ribbed hem.

Radiating stitch lines spread outward from the central basketball graphic. These intersecting seams create a lightly quilted visual field behind the layered artwork while adding structure to the large back panel.

5. Heavy Ribbed Finish

Royal blue 2x2 rib knit finishes the cuffs and waistband. The heavy rib structure brings the sleeves closer at the wrists and gathers the bottom of the leather body into a traditional bomber shape.

The leather zipper facing continues through the center of the ribbed hem. This gives the base of the zipper a stable attachment point instead of placing repeated closing pressure directly on the stretch knit.

How the Artwork Is Attached

The jacket uses several forms of stitching across its structural and decorative areas:

• Tonal single-row topstitching joins the main Royal blue body and sleeve panels.

• Parallel tonal stitching reinforces the collar, zipper facings and pocket openings.

• Close contrast edge stitching secures the orange, white and black leather appliqués.

• Multiple concentric rows outline the circular chest basketball patch.

• Decorative radiating stitch lines create the quilted-style back pattern.

• Direct embroidery forms smaller words, outlines and signature details.

• Reinforced seams attach the heavy ribbed cuffs and waistband to the leather shell.

Each appliqué is built from separately cut leather components rather than printed directly onto the jacket. The rhinestones are individually positioned within the lettering, basketballs and decorative panels to enhance their dimensional appearance.

Hand Pockets and Satin-Lined Interior

Two slanted double-welt hand pockets are positioned at the lower front. Their openings are finished with narrow Royal blue leather welts and close tonal stitching. The exterior pockets do not use additional zipper closures, keeping the lower body visually clean beneath the large New York graphic.

A smooth satin lining covers the interior, helping the jacket move comfortably over shirts, sweatshirts and lightweight knitwear. Outlined direct Pelle Pelle embroidery continues the graphic identity inside the jacket, while interior pockets provide storage away from the decorated exterior.

Fit and Styling

The jacket has the rounded shoulders, comfortable body and gathered waistband associated with a leather bomber. Check your chest, shoulder and sleeve measurements against our size guide before ordering. Allow additional room if you plan to wear a hoodie or heavyweight knit underneath.

Royal blue and orange already create a strong color statement, so neutral clothing works best around the jacket. Black jeans and a plain black shirt make the leather color stand out, while white sneakers connect naturally with the white appliqué borders. Avoid competing sports graphics or heavily patterned layers that could distract from the detailed jacket artwork.

Caring for the Royal Leather and Artwork

Never place this jacket in a washing machine or dryer. Wipe dust from undecorated leather sections with a clean, soft cloth, working carefully around the raised appliqué edges, rhinestones and contrast stitching.

Do not apply conditioner over the orange and white artwork. Residue can collect around the stones or darken the lighter leather sections. Any suitable leather-care product should first be tested on a concealed section of Royal blue leather.

Store the jacket on a wide, supportive hanger and avoid folding it through the back logo. Rough backpacks and abrasive surfaces can rub against the appliqués and rhinestone settings. More maintenance and storage information is available in our complete leather jacket care guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I keep the orange and white appliqués clean?

Remove loose dust with a clean microfiber cloth or a very soft detailing brush. Avoid bleach, whitening products and household detergents because they may discolor the leather and affect the surrounding Royal blue finish.

What should I do if a rhinestone starts catching on clothing?

Stop pulling at the stone and avoid wearing anything that continues to snag against it. A leather-garment repair specialist can secure the setting without spreading inappropriate adhesive over the appliqué.

Will the Royal blue sheepskin soften with wear?

Yes. Genuine sheepskin normally becomes more flexible around the elbows, shoulders and lower body through regular movement. Allow it to soften naturally rather than using heat, water or forceful stretching.

How should the jacket be stored between seasons?

Place it on a broad hanger inside a breathable garment cover, leaving enough room so the back artwork is not pressed against other clothing. Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, damp areas and direct heat, all of which may affect the leather color and decorative materials.

Can the satin lining be cleaned separately?

The lining should not be soaked because moisture may transfer to the leather shell and embroidery. For persistent odors or staining, use a professional cleaner experienced with leather garments and embellished satin linings.
