The women's leather bomber jacket according to Jitrois
At Jitrois, the women's leather bomber jacket — the blouson, in the vocabulary of French couture — is defined by its spirit rather than its length. It is the sporty piece of the wardrobe, the one that asserts the style and personality of the woman who wears it: a zip, a high collar, a ribbed waistband, a wrap construction or a biker line. The jacket, by contrast, borrows its codes from tailoring. The blouson can stop at the waist, like the GATTACA Cropped or the KAM, or fall lower, like the CŒUR LONG or the HONEY with its peplum.
This reading links the Jitrois blouson to the motorcycle perfecto, the bomber and the pilot's jacket, known as the aviator, often lined with fur, all born from functional clothing. The house keeps their signs, gives them a couture modernity, then fits them to the female body thanks to stretch leather. The Jitrois women's leather bomber jacket is designed for women looking for a statement piece, fitted to their silhouette and made to last.
Stretch leather, the material of the Jitrois blouson
Jean-Claude Jitrois invented stretch leather in the mid-1990s, after more than forty years of working with leather. A full-grain lambskin is bonded to a cotton and elastane fibre: the women's leather jacket then follows the shoulder, the bust and the arm like a knit, and returns to its shape. Like all leather, it protects from the wind and keeps warmth through the in-between seasons and the cooler months.
This suppleness allows the house to cut a jacket close to the body while preserving freedom of movement. Plongé lambskin, denser and naturally fluid, is used for the wrap and belted models. Full-grain leather softens with wear, and stretch suede offers a soft, velvety texture.
Fitted zip-front jackets: GATTACA, GALACTICA, STELLAR, GIGI
The GATTACA is the purest zip-front jacket of the house: a central zip, vertical seams, a second-skin line in stretch lambskin. It comes in black and metallic champagne, and as the GATTACA Cropped, a shorter version that frees the waist.
The GALACTICA sculpts the bust with structured shoulders and an Empress neckline that frames the collarbone, or an officer collar depending on the version. It comes in black, red, ivory, deep green, green opal and bordeaux patent leather.
The STELLAR takes a short, fitted line, closed by a Mandarin collar. The GIGI draws on harness codes: bands of stretch leather combined with elastic panels wrap the body with graphic precision.
Biker jackets: RIDER and HARLEY
The RIDER distils the perfecto into a fitted, feminine cut with a second-skin silhouette. An asymmetric zip, a snap collar and clean lapels give it its architecture, while stretch lambskin brings ease. It comes in black, black with matte zips, dark brown and tobacco stretch suede.
The HARLEY offers a cropped version of the biker jacket, worn close to the body, with embroidered leather detailing at the back.
Wrap and belted jackets: CŒUR and TRINITY
The CŒUR is a short wrap jacket in plongé lambskin. Its construction enfolds the bust, its wide lapels open the neckline. It comes in red, black, rosy greige and khaki suede. The CŒUR LONG takes the same wrap construction to a more enveloping length.
The TRINITY, in black plongé lambskin, closes edge to edge and is drawn in by a belt with loops, beneath a high collar and light shoulder padding. It defines the waist and moves with the body.
Sporty jackets: BLACKBIRD and ERIKA
The BLACKBIRD, in dark brown plongé lambskin, reinterprets the safari jacket in a short, urban version, with chest pockets and a slightly relaxed cut. The ERIKA, in black plongé lambskin, pairs a short, straight line with three-pleat puff sleeves that build the shoulder.
Fur and python jackets: KAM, HONEY, ANGEL
The KAM is the house bomber: a cropped jacket in stretch plongé lambskin, with a rounded volume, drawn in at the waist by a ribbed band and crowned with a silver fox collar tinted sky blue. Its volume and the strength of its fur collar make it a statement piece of great sophistication.
The HONEY, in black stretch lambskin, rises into a funnel collar and closes with a two-way zip down to a light peplum; a cape of fox fur dyed a deep blue covers the shoulders. The ANGEL, in black python, takes the codes of the utility jacket into a short, boxy line, with snap patch pockets on the chest.
Evening jackets: JAGGER, ODYSSEY, CLOUD, MANTRA FLAG
The JAGGER frames the neckline with a ruffled collar, echoed at the cuffs. It comes in matte black, pearl white and metallic blue stretch leather. The ODYSSEY, in black or white patent leather, plays with shine and volume.
The CLOUD pairs transparent organza with appliqué motifs in plongé lambskin. The MANTRA FLAG, in plongé lambskin, features black-and-white embroidered motifs and an asymmetric belt.
Blouson, perfecto, bomber or leather jacket
The perfecto is the biker jacket with an asymmetric zip: at Jitrois, it is the RIDER, and in a shorter version the HARLEY. The bomber is recognised by its volume and ribbed band: it is the KAM. The zip-front blouson, more pared back, is the GATTACA. The leather jacket, closer to tailoring, is found in the women's leather jackets collection. For winter, the women's leather coats carry the same standard into a longer, more covering length.

How to wear a women's leather bomber jacket
The Jitrois women's leather bomber jacket sets the tone of a look and brings a touch of character. Its versatility makes it the ally of the in-between seasons, from morning to evening, and the house's leather accessories, corset belts or long gloves, complete its style. Over leather trousers from the house, it creates a tonal silhouette; over a flowing dress, it brings a daytime allure. An all-black look, a timeless and versatile colour, remains its most elegant version, and ankle boots or heels extend the line. A short cut lengthens the silhouette, a straight cut structures it, a fitted cut defines the waist; made to measure fits each jacket to the body.
- A black RIDER over NIKI trousers and a fine knit
- A RIDER over a light dress, on sunny days
- A GATTACA Cropped over a long dress, to define the waist
- A CŒUR worn closed, like a top, with a CHANTAL pencil skirt
- A KAM as a statement piece, over black leather trousers
- A JAGGER or a HONEY over a black dress, for the evening
