Phat Farm Leather Biker Jacket
This Phat Farm leather biker jacket was worn by Jam Master Jay in the Rock Show music video, featuring Third Eye Blind frontman Stephen Jenkins.
Produced in the late 1990s, it reflects a moment when hip-hop style had fully entered the mainstream, with Phat Farm (founded by Run-DMC’s manager Russell Simmons) emerging as one of the first globally recognised streetwear brands. The jacket features full leather construction, heavy detailing, and a distinctive biker silhouette. Very few comparable examples are known to exist.
In the video, Jay stands apart from Joseph “Run” Simmons and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels. While they wear more uniform black leather, he opts for a more detailed biker jacket, an instinctive choice that reflects his individual approach to style.
