A lightweight leather jacket with a nod to cinematic history.

This jacket captures the essence of 1960s rebellion, drawing from the rugged yet refined aesthetic of Steve McQueen’s on-screen persona. The sheepskin leather is thin and flexible, offering a lightweight feel that’s ideal for layering or wearing solo. Unlike heavier biker jackets, this piece prioritises ease of movement and breathability, making it a go-to for everyday wear. The khaki colour, a departure from traditional black leather, adds a subtle military-inspired edge while keeping the look understated and adaptable.

Crafted for comfort and durability.

The sheepskin leather, known for its softness and durability, develops a unique patina over time, ensuring the jacket ages gracefully. While it’s not lined with fur, its lightweight nature makes it suitable for milder weather, though it can be layered over knitwear in cooler months. The regular cut provides a timeless silhouette that works with everything from jeans to chinos, embodying the effortless style of a true classic.
