Joystick Joey Café Racer Leather Jacket For Men

Joystick Joey is a men’s café racer leather jacket from Comic Leather, built around an arcade monkey mascot gripping a joystick controller and checkered-flag, lightning-bolt, and banana graphics. It is available in faux leather or genuine leather.

Design & Patch Details

The jacket runs a black leather base with cream shoulder panels and a red-trimmed snap collar, striped in cream and red down each sleeve. A joystick icon and “1UP” patch sit on the left sleeve, a pixel-art banana and “INSERT COIN” patch on the right. Up front, the monkey mascot wears a joystick like a hat and grips a retro controller beside a checkered-flag-and-lightning-bolt patch, a “Joystick Joey” name patch, a zippered chest pocket, and three round game-button patches. On the back, “JOYSTICK JOEY” arches in large lettering above the same mascot, flanked by crossed checkered flags, a joystick-ball icon, and an arcade-cabinet patch worked into the lightning bolts below. Every element is a raised patch with embroidered-style outlines, not a flat print. Two zippered chest pockets, angled waist pockets, and buckled hem straps finish the café racer build.

Faux or Genuine?

Both builds share the same pattern. Faux leather is animal-free, arrives ready to wear with no break-in time, and keeps the price down without cutting into the patch detail. Genuine leather is a full-grain hide that breathes better against the body and ages into a richer finish the longer you wear it. Pick faux for low-maintenance and straightforward, genuine if you want the jacket to wear in rather than wear out.

Fit & Sizing

Joystick Joey is available from XS to XXL. The café racer cut runs close to the body, so size up if you plan to layer a hoodie or flannel underneath. The buckled hem straps let you adjust the fit afterward.

How to Style It

Let the arcade graphics lead: pair it with a plain black or white tee, straight-leg jeans, and sneakers for an off-duty look, or layer it over a hoodie without covering the back artwork.

Care Instructions

Faux leather wipes clean with a damp cloth and should stay away from high heat. Genuine leather does best with a soft, dry cloth, occasional conditioning, and no direct sun or moisture. Neither goes in the washing machine.

FAQ

Do the front and back artwork match?
Not exactly. Both sides feature the same joystick-hatted monkey and the “Joystick Joey” name, but the back adds a larger arched logo, crossed checkered flags, a joystick-ball icon, and an arcade-cabinet patch not on the front, while the front carries its own sleeve patches (“1UP,” “Insert Coin,” the banana) not repeated on the back.

Is genuine leather available in every size?
Yes, both faux and genuine leather are available from XS through XXL, selectable on this page before you add to cart.
