Pelle Pelle Style True To Our Roots All-Black Leather Jacket – Handmade Studded 1978 Varsity Bomber, XS–8XL, Made to Order USA

Pelle Pelle-Style True To Our Roots All-Black Leather Jacket, Handmade by Leather Taboo

Black cowhide, black studded lettering, black knit trim — this is the blackout colourway of the "True To Our Roots" varsity, made to order by Leather Taboo as a handmade tribute to the 1978 crest and signature Pelle Pelle fans recognise from across a room. Begin at our home page, browse the full Pelle Pelle-style jacket collection, order it to your own measurements through the custom order page, or compare it with the two-tone brown and teal version of the same design. It is an independent made-to-order jacket and is not an official Pelle Pelle product.

Tonal Studded Lettering That Reads in the Light

Because every element is black, the design works on texture rather than colour. Across the back, "Pelle Pelle" is cut in black block letters edged with a fine silver outline and filled with gunmetal studs, so the name disappears in shadow and lights up under a street lamp or a camera flash. "True To Our Roots" curves beneath it in tonal studded script, a black "Steadfast – Resolute" banner frames the round crest, and "Genuine Leather" sits either side of a large studded "1978" with the silver signature stitched below. Every stud is set through the hide by hand, which is why the artwork stands proud of the leather instead of lying flat like a print.

Varsity Bomber Cut in Smooth Black Cowhide

The cut is a relaxed varsity bomber: shirt-style leather collar over a black knit band, full-length black zip, two side-entry welt pockets and ribbed black knit at the cuffs and hem. The front keeps things quiet with a tonal "True To Our Roots" script, the banner crest and an embossed "1978" on the left chest, plus a round crest badge on the right sleeve. Smooth-grain black cowhide holds the boxy shoulder line from the first wear and softens through the elbows over the first few weeks, and unlike lighter hides it hides everyday scuffs, which makes this the easiest colourway to wear daily.

Sizes XS to 8XL, or Made to Your Measurements in the USA

Choose XS through 8XL from the size chart, or send chest, shoulder, sleeve and back-length measurements through the custom order page for a made-to-measure cut at no extra charge. Every jacket is made after the order is placed; production normally takes 14–15 working days, then it ships with a tracking number to the USA and worldwide. Standard-size orders can be returned within 15 days of delivery; made-to-measure pieces are exchanged if they arrive damaged or incorrect. A wipe-down after wear and a light conditioning twice a year keeps black cowhide deep and even for years.
