A bold take on the classic biker jacket, reimagined in vibrant violet

The CLIPS VIOLET 543 from Oakwood is a women’s leather jacket that merges the rebellious spirit of the perfecto with a contemporary twist. Crafted from supple sheep leather, it stands out with its rich violet hue—a colour that brings fresh energy to the timeless biker silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thickness of the sheepskin leather used?

The sheepskin leather in this jacket is approximately 0.8 to 1.0 millimetres thick, offering a balance between suppleness and durability. It’s designed to mould to the body over time while maintaining its structure.

How does the slimfit cut differ from a regular fit?

The slimfit cut is tailored to follow the body’s contours closely, with narrower sleeves and a more fitted waist. Unlike a regular fit, it doesn’t allow for layering underneath but emphasises a sleek, streamlined silhouette.

Is the lining breathable for year-round wear?

Yes, the lining blends 60% cotton and 40% polyester, which provides breathability while maintaining warmth. This makes it suitable for transitional seasons, though it may feel slightly warm in high summer.

Does the zip closure run the full length of the jacket?

The zip closure runs from the base of the collar to the hem, allowing the jacket to be fully opened or closed. This design enhances the biker aesthetic and ensures ease of wear.

How should I care for the violet colour to prevent fading?

To preserve the colour, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for dyed leathers to maintain vibrancy and prevent drying.

Can the jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While sheepskin leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, it’s not fully waterproof. Light rain won’t damage it, but prolonged exposure to moisture can cause staining or stiffness. A waterproofing spray designed for leather can offer added protection.

What type of patina can I expect over time?

The violet dye will soften subtly with wear, developing a slightly muted, lived-in look. The leather itself will become more supple and gain a natural sheen, particularly along high-contact areas like the cuffs and collar.
