Jensen Huang says he's “the guy in the leather jacket who repeats things three times” about his image

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s black leather jacket has long been a recognizable part of his public appearances, and he has acknowledged the attention with self-deprecating remarks. His quoted comment was made during a 2016 Reddit question-and-answer session, where he joked about his public image. The jacket came up again in a 2023 interview with Ryan Patel, who asked Huang about becoming a style figure; Huang said he was happy that his wife and daughter dress him, Business Insider reported on Oct. 30, 2023. An Nvidia spokesperson had previously told The New York Times that Huang has worn black leather jackets for at least two decades, Fortune reported in January 2026, underscoring how the garment has become linked to his public persona.
