Can we bring the Moto jacket back?
Long a staple for cool guys and stylish musicians alike (think everyone from Elvis Presley to the Beatles and Lady Gaga), the moto jacket pulls double duty as protection from the elements while giving you an easy, slip-on piece of outerwear that dials any outfit up a notch.
We’ve worn a moto jacket with everything from dress pants and a button-down to a hoodie and sweatpants, and it instantly makes our look feel more put together. Moto jackets, also known as leather jackets, don’t come cheap, though: the iconic Gucci bomber jackets start at $4,500 online and almost never go on sale.
Other popular moto jackets will run you into the hundreds of dollars at the very least. Luckily, we just spotted a deal at Men’s Wearhouse that gets you a name-brand moto jacket for a fraction of the price.

This moto jacket is from the menswear brand Awearness by Kenneth Cole, best known for their shirting and activewear selects. But Kenneth Cole makes a great jacket as well, as evidenced by this classic stretch moto jacket. Already well-priced at $179, it’s on sale for just $49.99 right now at MensWearhouse.com — a whopping 72% discount.
What we like: the jacket is made from a comfortable PU material, with a touch of polyester for flexibility and easy movement (I.e., your arms won’t feel too tightly trapped underneath). While some moto jackets are overly bulky and add unnecessary fabric to your build, this version hits just right, so you’re not swimming in the silhouette. It has a smart, zip-up closure and two-side pockets, which are deep enough to hold your keys, wallets, and phone with ease.
This Men’s Wearhouse deal gets you the Awearness by Kenneth Cole moto jacket for just $49.99 — an almost unheard price for a designer of his caliber. Men’s Wearhouse has the coat available in sizes small to 2XL, with additional color options available, too. But with the 72% discount, the jacket is selling quickly, so we recommend adding it to the cart while the deal is still live.

Want an even cheaper option? Amazon’s current bestseller is this loose-fit faux leather jacket. It’s available in sizes small to 2XL and in your choice of two colors. At just $42, it’s a no-brainer to add to your closet. See full details here.
