The blouson that carries the spirit of a legend.

The CHARLIE3 ROYAL BLUE isn’t just a leather jacket—it’s a tribute. Licensed under the official Steve McQueen name, this piece channels the effortless cool of the 1960s racing scene, where leather wasn’t just protection but a statement. The deep royal blue hue, a rare and striking choice in leather outerwear, sets it apart from the usual black and brown palette, offering a fresh yet timeless alternative for those who want to stand out while staying rooted in classic style.

Crafted for versatility, built for comfort.

Made from premium sheepskin leather, the CHARLIE3 balances softness with durability. The leather is thin yet resilient, with a smooth finish that feels supple against the skin while maintaining its shape over time. The regular cut ensures a relaxed fit that flatters most body types, making it a go-to layer for everyday wear. Whether you’re layering it over a T-shirt on a crisp autumn evening or pairing it with a wool jumper in winter, the jacket adapts effortlessly to the season and the occasion.

Design details that tell a story.

Every element of the CHARLIE3 is thoughtfully designed to echo the heritage of vintage racing jackets. The shirt-style collar adds a touch of sophistication, while the two flap pockets with snap buttons offer both functionality and a nod to classic workwear. Four subtly embossed patches—on the chest, sleeves, and back of the collar—reinforce the jacket’s connection to motorsport culture without overpowering its clean aesthetic. The central zip closure provides wind protection, ensuring practicality doesn’t come at the expense of style.

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 softness. Sheepskin leather is lightweight and develops a rich patina over time, softening further with wear while maintaining its durability. The dark blue hue may lighten slightly with exposure to sunlight, adding character to the leather.

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

To preserve the leather, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for smooth leathers, using a clean cloth in gentle circular motions. Store the jacket on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape.

Is the jacket lined, and if so, with what material?

The product description does not specify a lining. However, sheepskin leather is naturally insulating, making it suitable for year-round wear without the need for heavy additional lining.

What is the weight of the leather, and how does it affect the fit?

Sheepskin leather is lightweight and supple, which contributes to the jacket’s comfortable regular fit. The leather’s thinness allows for ease of movement while maintaining structure, making it ideal for layering over shirts or lightweight knitwear.

Are the embossed patches purely decorative or do they serve a function?

The four ton-on-ton embossed patches on the chest, sleeves, and back of the collar are decorative, adding subtle detailing that enhances the jacket’s classic design. They do not serve a functional purpose but contribute to its distinctive aesthetic.

Can the jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While the central zip closure provides some protection against wind, sheepskin leather is not inherently waterproof. Light rain or drizzle should not damage the leather if dried properly afterwards, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause water spots or stiffness. It is advisable to treat the leather with a waterproofing spray if frequent exposure to wet conditions is expected.

How does the shirt collar differ from a standard jacket collar?

The shirt-style collar is designed to lie flat against the neck when fully zipped, similar to a dress shirt collar. This adds a refined touch to the jacket, allowing it to be worn open or closed while maintaining a polished appearance. It also provides versatility for layering with scarves or under heavier outerwear.
