This is the leather jacket that bridges the gap between urban edge and motorcycle heritage.

The Redskins Formula Stown Black is a lambskin leather jacket designed for those who appreciate the precision of a slim fit without sacrificing the rugged appeal of biker styling. Cut from smooth lambskin, it offers a balance of suppleness and durability, making it a versatile piece for year-round wear. The jacket’s construction is rooted in motorcycle tradition, with matelassé quilting on the shoulders and elbows—an homage to the protective padding of classic riders’ jackets. The elasticated side stitching ensures a tailored silhouette while allowing for ease of movement, whether you’re navigating city streets or an open road.

A design that respects the codes of the road.

The Formula Stown Black stays true to the functional details that define biker jackets. A snap-button collar keeps the wind out, while three zippered front pockets—two at the waist and one on the chest—provide secure storage without compromising the jacket’s streamlined profile. The wrists fasten with press studs, a nod to the practicality of vintage motorcycle gear. Inside, a black polyester lining features Redskins branding and a zippered pocket for discreet storage. The jacket’s minimalist aesthetic is punctuated by a small metallic "R" logo on the left sleeve and a leather Redskins patch at the back of the collar, subtle touches that signal its heritage.

Lambskin leather: a material with character.

Lambskin is prized for its softness and lightweight feel, making it a natural choice for a jacket that’s as comfortable as it is stylish. Unlike heavier leathers, lambskin moulds to the body over time, developing a unique patina that tells the story of its wear. It’s a leather that demands care—prone to scratches but resilient when maintained properly—but rewards the wearer with a garment that feels like a second skin. The smooth finish of this jacket ensures it remains versatile, pairing effortlessly with both casual and smart-casual outfits.

Redskins is a French brand with a legacy rooted in the rebellious spirit of the 1980s. Founded in the heart of Paris, the label quickly became synonymous with leather jackets that blended motorcycle culture with urban style. Over the decades, Redskins has maintained its commitment to quality manufacturing, using premium leathers and time-honoured techniques to create pieces that stand the test of time. The brand’s designs often pay homage to vintage biker aesthetics while adapting them for contemporary wardrobes, making them a favourite among those who appreciate both tradition and modernity.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from smooth lambskin leather, known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, it develops a rich patina, especially in areas of frequent contact, giving it a unique character while maintaining its durability.

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 to keep it supple.

Is the jacket suitable for year-round wear?

Yes, the lambskin leather provides a good balance of warmth and breathability, making it versatile for spring, autumn, and mild winter days. The polyester lining adds a slight layer of insulation, but it may not be sufficient for extreme cold.

How does the slim fit compare to a regular fit?

The slim fit is tailored closer to the body, with a narrower waist and slightly tapered sleeves. It offers a modern silhouette but may feel more restrictive than a classic or relaxed fit, especially if layered over thicker garments.

Are the quilted stitching details purely decorative?

The matelassé stitching on the shoulders and elbows serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose. It reinforces these high-stress areas for added durability while giving the jacket its distinctive biker-inspired texture.

Can the jacket be worn casually as well as for riding?

Absolutely. While the design elements like the press-stud collar and quilted panels are inspired by motorcycle jackets, the slim cut and minimalist details make it equally suited for urban wear with jeans or chinos.

What is the weight of the leather?

Lambskin leather is naturally lightweight, typically ranging between 0.6 to 0.9 millimetres in thickness for this type of jacket. This makes it comfortable for daily wear without sacrificing the protective qualities of leather.
