The Open Road Buffalo Jacket in Brown: A rugged heirloom for the modern urban explorer

This is not just another leather jacket—it’s a statement of durability, warmth, and timeless style, built for those who demand more from their outerwear. The Open Road Buffalo Jacket by Iron & Resin is crafted from heavy cow split leather, a material chosen for its exceptional resistance to abrasion and its unique ability to develop character over time. Think of it as a piece that ages like fine whisky, growing richer and more distinctive with every wear.

A jacket designed for the elements, without sacrificing style

Winter-ready yet versatile enough for transitional seasons, this jacket is insulated with a thick sherpa fleece lining on the back and interior sides, providing warmth without bulk. The sleeves are lined with black satin and 40g of wadding, ensuring your arms stay cosy even in the coldest conditions. The tailored fit—slim and structured—hugs the body without restricting movement, making it ideal for both city commutes and weekend adventures.

Built to last, with details that matter

Every element of this jacket is designed with purpose. The front closure features heavy-duty Iron & Resin open cap tack buttons, a nod to classic workwear aesthetics with modern functionality. The chest pockets, hand pockets, and interior pockets (including a zippered left pocket and a snap-button right pocket) offer ample storage, while a small phone pocket on the right side keeps essentials within easy reach. The locker loop draw cord on the inside collar is a practical touch for hanging the jacket when not in use. Weighing in at 4 lbs, it’s substantial enough to feel protective, yet balanced for all-day wear.

A rock-inspired silhouette with a touch of rebellion

The Open Road Buffalo Jacket channels a rugged, rock-inspired vibe, amplified by its vegan fur-lined collar and the textured contrast of suede-like leather against the plush sherpa lining. The brown hue is deep and versatile, pairing effortlessly with denim, wool, or even tailored trousers. Whether you’re navigating the city or hitting the open road, this jacket is designed to be your go-to layer for years to come.

Iron & Resin is a brand that bridges the gap between heritage workwear and contemporary urban style. Founded on the principles of durability and quality manufacturing, the label draws inspiration from vintage Americana, motorcycle culture, and the rugged spirit of the open road. Each piece is designed to withstand the test of time, not just in terms of construction but also in its ability to evolve with the wearer. The brand’s attention to detail—from the choice of materials to the finishing touches—reflects a deep respect for traditional techniques, reimagined for the modern wardrobe.
