Simmons Bilt X Statement Leather Jackets

Simmons Bilt began in Oakland, California, in the early 1900s and quickly established itself as a pioneer of leather jackets, among the first to adopt the then-revolutionary zipper closure with the ball-and-chain puller. Though the original company ceased production in the late 1930s, its legacy was revived in 2012 and continues today in Moffat, Scotland.

In its modern form, Simmons Bilt produces handcrafted aviator and motorcycle jackets inspired by classic designs from the 1920s through the 1960s. Each piece is cut, stitched, and finished entirely by a single craftsperson—eschewing production lines in favor of a bespoke approach. The brand uses only premium hides, carefully selected for consistency and character, along with traditional walking foot machines and period-correct hardware.

The result is more than reproduction: every Simmons Bilt jacket is a garment built for life, designed to improve with wear and carry the hallmarks of true craftsmanship. By blending authenticity with evolving fits and details, Simmons Bilt honors its American origins while redefining leather outerwear for discerning modern customers.

At Statement Store, we are proud of our long-standing partnership with Simmons Bilt, which allows us to offer exclusive Simmons Bilt x Statement leather jacket models—unique pieces that reflect both the brand’s heritage and our shared commitment to exceptional quality.
