A blazer reimagined in leather—where structure meets sensuality.

The GRACE NOIR 501 by Oakwood is not just a leather jacket; it’s a statement piece that blends the sharp tailoring of a blazer with the rebellious edge of sheepskin. Designed for women who appreciate both polish and attitude, this jacket sits just above the waist in a regular cut, creating a silhouette that’s effortlessly feminine yet undeniably bold. The black sheepskin leather, known for its fine grain and subtle sheen, drapes with a fluidity that only improves with wear, developing a unique patina over time. It’s a jacket that doesn’t just follow trends—it sets them.

Tailored details with a twist.

Every element of the GRACE NOIR 501 is thoughtfully designed to balance sophistication and edge. The shirt-style collar adds a touch of refinement, while the oversized round black buttons down the front introduce a playful, almost retro vibe. The jacket features meticulous topstitching across the chest, back, and sleeves, reinforcing its structured yet supple construction. Practicality isn’t overlooked either: discreet side pockets offer storage without disrupting the clean lines, and an internal zipped pocket keeps valuables secure. Whether layered over a silk blouse or a simple tee, this jacket elevates any outfit with ease.

Versatility for the modern wardrobe.

This is a jacket that adapts to your lifestyle. Its lightweight sheepskin construction makes it ideal for transitional weather—wear it in autumn with ankle boots and a scarf, or in spring with a flowy dress and sneakers. The regular fit ensures it flatters without clinging, while the cropped length accentuates the waist, making it a go-to for both casual outings and nights out. The GRACE NOIR 501 doesn’t just complement your wardrobe; it becomes the centrepiece, effortlessly bridging the gap between streetwear cool and polished elegance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used and how does it age over time?

This jacket is made from sheep leather, known for its fine grain and softness. Over time, it develops a rich patina, especially in areas of frequent contact, which enhances its character while maintaining its natural suppleness.

How should I care for the leather to maintain its shiny finish?

To preserve the leather’s natural shine, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner designed for smooth leathers. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, as this can dull the finish.

Is the lining removable for cleaning?

The cotton lining is not removable. For cleaning, spot-clean gently with a damp cloth or have it professionally cleaned to avoid damaging the leather or lining.

How does the regular fit compare to a slim or oversized fit?

A regular fit offers a balanced silhouette, neither too tight nor too loose. It sits comfortably at the waist, providing a tailored yet relaxed look compared to a slim fit, which is more fitted, or an oversized fit, which is looser and boxier.

What is the thickness of the leather?

The leather is classified as fine, typically ranging between 0.8mm and 1.2mm in thickness. This makes it lightweight and flexible while still durable for everyday wear.

Can the jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While the leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain can damage the leather, so it’s best to avoid heavy downpours or use a protective spray if necessary.

Are the buttons purely decorative or functional?

The large round buttons are both decorative and functional. They secure the jacket while adding a distinctive design element, ensuring the jacket stays closed when fastened.
