The Brooklyn Black: where rebellious heritage meets modern elegance

This is not just another biker jacket. The Brooklyn Black by Cityzen reinterprets the iconic perfecto silhouette with a twist—literally. Crafted from reversed lambskin, it flips the script on traditional leather jackets, offering a softer, more supple texture that still delivers the edge of a classic biker piece. The result? A jacket that feels as good as it looks, blending the raw attitude of motorcycle culture with the refined touch of contemporary fashion.

A jacket built for movement and style

The Brooklyn Black is designed to move with you. Its slim-fit cut hugs the body without restricting, making it ideal for layering over jumpers in winter or throwing on over a dress for a night out. The two zippered side pockets aren’t just functional—they’re a nod to the utilitarian roots of biker jackets, while the zippered cuffs add a modern touch, allowing you to adjust the fit for comfort or style. And let’s not overlook the embroidered Cityzen patch at the base—a subtle mark of quality manufacturing that ties the whole piece together.

Lambskin reversed: the secret to its unique character

Reversed lambskin isn’t just a material choice—it’s a statement. Unlike traditional leather, which shows its grain on the outside, reversed lambskin flips the hide to reveal its softer, more velvety underside. This gives the Brooklyn Black a distinctive texture that’s both luxurious and understated. It’s lighter than cowhide but just as durable, and it develops a beautiful patina over time, moulding to your body and lifestyle. Perfect for autumn and winter, it offers just the right balance of warmth and breathability, making it a versatile layering piece.

From the streets of Brooklyn to your wardrobe

The name “Brooklyn Black” isn’t just a label—it’s an homage to the gritty, creative energy of New York’s most iconic borough. This jacket channels the spirit of urban cool, where classic biker aesthetics meet contemporary street style. Whether you’re pairing it with ripped jeans and boots for a weekend look or draping it over a sleek dress for a night out, the Brooklyn Black adapts effortlessly. And if you’re looking for something with a little more drama, its longer sibling, the Chelsea Black, offers the same attitude with added length.

Cityzen isn’t just another leather brand—it’s a label that thrives on contrasts. Founded by a team of designers who believe fashion should be as dynamic as the cities that inspire it, Cityzen blends streetwear edge with timeless quality manufacturing. Their pieces are designed to be worn, not just admired, with a focus on materials that age beautifully and cuts that flatter every silhouette. Whether it’s a classic biker jacket or a modern reinterpretation of a wardrobe staple, Cityzen’s collections are built for those who refuse to choose between comfort and style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is reversed sheep leather, and how does it differ from regular leather?

Reversed sheep leather, or suede-like leather, is made from the underside of the sheepskin, giving it a softer, napped finish. Unlike smooth leather, it has a velvety texture, is more flexible, and develops a unique patina over time. It’s also slightly less durable than full-grain leather but offers a more casual, supple feel.

How should I care for a blouson made of reversed sheep leather?

To maintain reversed sheep leather, avoid exposure to water and moisture, as it can stain or stiffen the material. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and a specialised suede cleaner for stains. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally with a breathable dust bag to prevent dust accumulation. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Is this blouson suitable for very cold winter conditions?

While the reversed sheep leather provides some insulation, this blouson is designed more for style than extreme cold. It’s best suited for autumn or mild winter weather. For harsher conditions, layering with a thermal or thicker jacket underneath is recommended.

How does the slim fit cut flatter different body types?

The slim fit cut is tailored to follow the body’s contours without being restrictive. It accentuates the waist and creates a streamlined silhouette, making it ideal for petite to average frames. Those with a broader build may prefer sizing up for a more comfortable fit while maintaining the stylish look.

What are the functional benefits of the wrist zips?

The wrist zips, or zippered cuffs, allow for adjustable ventilation and ease of movement. They make it easier to slide the blouson over layers or thick jumpers while ensuring a snug fit around the wrists to retain warmth.

Can this blouson be dressed up for formal occasions?

While primarily a casual or street-style piece, the sleek design and refined finish of this blouson allow it to be dressed up for smart-casual occasions. Pairing it with tailored trousers, a fitted roll-neck jumper, and ankle boots can elevate the look for a night out or a stylish event.

How does the leather age over time?

Reversed sheep leather develops a rich patina with wear, softening further and gaining character. The nap may flatten slightly in high-friction areas, and the colour may deepen or lighten depending on exposure to sunlight and natural oils from the skin. Regular care will help maintain its appearance.
