The Romana Noir 501: a modern take on the timeless leather jacket, crafted for those who appreciate understated elegance.

This Oakwood piece is a celebration of simplicity and sophistication, designed for women who want a leather jacket that effortlessly transitions from day to night. The Romana Noir 501 is cut from genuine sheepskin leather, a choice that speaks volumes about its quality—soft to the touch yet durable enough to develop a rich patina over time. The regular fit ensures a flattering silhouette without sacrificing comfort, while the classic shirt collar and button fastening add a touch of refinement that sets it apart from more rugged styles.

A lightweight leather jacket for warmer days.

Unlike heavier leather jackets designed for colder months, the Romana Noir 501 is tailored for spring and summer. Its short length and breathable sheepskin leather make it ideal for layering over dresses, blouses, or even a simple T-shirt. The matte black finish gives it a versatile edge, allowing it to pair seamlessly with both casual and smart-casual outfits. Whether you're heading to a brunch with friends or a relaxed evening out, this jacket adds a polished finish without overwhelming your look.

Sheepskin leather: a choice that balances comfort and character.

Sheepskin leather is prized for its suppleness and lightweight feel, making it one of the most comfortable leathers to wear. It moulds to the body over time, creating a personalised fit that feels like a second skin. While it may not have the rugged durability of cowhide, it offers a unique softness that’s perfect for jackets meant to be worn close to the body. With proper care, this leather will age beautifully, developing a subtle sheen and depth of colour that tells the story of every wear.

Oakwood has built its reputation on crafting leather jackets that blend timeless design with modern sensibilities. Founded by a team of leather enthusiasts, the brand focuses on quality materials and meticulous construction, ensuring each piece stands the test of time. Oakwood’s collections often draw inspiration from classic styles, reinterpreting them for contemporary wardrobes. Whether it’s a biker jacket or a refined shirt-collar design like the Romana Noir 501, the brand’s attention to detail shines through in every stitch.
