Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from high-quality sheepskin leather, known for its smooth texture and durability. Over time, sheepskin develops a rich patina, softening further while maintaining its strength. The cognac colour will deepen slightly, enhancing its character with wear.

How should I care for the leather to maintain its quality?

To preserve the leather, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for smooth leathers every few months. Store it in a breathable garment bag when not in use.

Is the removable hood water-resistant?

The removable hood has a sweat-shirt-like fabric, which provides light coverage but is not water-resistant. It’s designed for style and minimal protection against wind rather than heavy rain.

What is the weight of the jacket and is it suitable for layering?

The jacket is lightweight yet substantial enough to provide warmth. Its regular fit allows for easy layering over jumpers or light knits, making it versatile for transitional weather.

How does the regular fit accommodate different body shapes?

The regular fit is designed to offer a comfortable, relaxed silhouette without being oversized. It skims the body, accommodating various shapes while maintaining a flattering drape. The adjustable press-stud collar and zippered front ensure a customisable fit.

Can the jacket be worn in warmer weather, or is it strictly for cooler seasons?

While primarily designed for inter-season wear, the breathable nature of sheepskin leather and the lightweight construction make it suitable for cooler summer evenings or air-conditioned environments. However, it may be too warm for hot summer days.

Are the elbow reinforcements purely decorative or do they serve a functional purpose?

The topstitching at the elbows serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose. It reinforces high-stress areas to prevent wear and tear while adding a subtle design detail that enhances the jacket’s structured look.
