How Your Jacket Is Made

Every White Buraq jacket is made by hand in our family's own leather workshop. Our family opened that workshop in 1998, making wrestling belts, jackets and bags, and the same workshop makes every piece we sell today. We only make high-end pieces in genuine leather, and we build them to last for decades with proper care.

Where your jacket comes from

We run White Buraq from Duluth, Georgia. Our jackets are made in our family workshop in Pakistan by leather craftsmen who cut, stitch and finish each piece by hand. We keep popular styles in stock in Georgia. Everything else, including custom sizes, is made to order and shipped straight from the workshop to your door.

How we make it, step by step

  1. Choosing the leather. We work with cowhide, lambskin, sheepskin, goatskin, horsehide, steerhide, buffalo, suede and nubuck, and choose the leather to suit each style. Every hide is different, so natural marks and grain are part of the character of each jacket.
  2. Cutting. Each panel is cut by hand, so the grain and color sit well across the whole jacket.
  3. Stitching. Our craftsmen sew the panels together and reinforce the points that take the most strain, such as pockets, zips and seams.
  4. Hardware and lining. We fit the zips (YKK), snaps, buckles and buttons, then add the lining, shearling or quilting that the style calls for.
  5. Finishing and checking. Edges, seams and hardware are finished and checked by hand before the jacket is packed.

Made to order and made to measure

Every order in our regular styles, whether made to order or in stock, ships within 3–7 business days by express courier (DHL or FedEx), and US delivery then usually takes 3–5 business days. Custom designs are made to order in 1–2 weeks and genuine exotic leather jackets (python, crocodile, alligator) in 3–4 weeks, then shipping takes about 1 week. Shipping is free within the US, and we pay any US import duties. We also ship worldwide for a flat $35 (see our shipping policy for international duties).

Most styles can also be made to your own measurements. See Made to Measure and our size guide.

Built to last

Good leather gets better with age. It softens, takes the shape of your body and builds a patina that is yours alone. With the simple care in our leather care guide, your jacket will last for decades.
