LISA 6: A biker jacket with a twist

The LISA 6 in Cognac 507 is a reimagined classic, blending the bold spirit of a biker jacket with the refined elegance of a modern wardrobe. Crafted from supple sheep leather, it offers a regular fit that balances structure and comfort—ideal for those who want a jacket that moves with them, not against them. The cognac hue, rich and warm, adds a touch of vintage sophistication, while the metallic details—rivets, zips, and shoulder epaulettes—nod to the rebellious heritage of the Perfecto. This is a jacket that doesn’t just follow trends; it sets them.

A design that respects tradition—without being bound by it

The LISA 6 stays true to the core elements of a biker jacket: the asymmetrical zip, the notched collar, the functional yet stylish pockets. But it also introduces subtle refinements. The zip is off-centre, adding a contemporary edge, while the rivets on the collar aren’t just decorative—they’re a nod to the durability of classic motorcycle gear. The long sleeves, finished with zips at the cuffs, allow for versatility, whether you’re layering up in autumn or keeping it sleek in spring. Inside, a grey lining with a raglan pocket ensures practicality doesn’t come at the expense of style.

Versatility, redefined

This isn’t a jacket that demands a specific look—it adapts to yours. Wear it open over a dress for a touch of effortless cool, or zip it up with jeans and boots for a timeless, rugged appeal. The regular fit means it layers well over jumpers in winter or sits neatly over a blouse in milder weather. The cognac colour, a staple in any leather aficionado’s wardrobe, pairs as easily with neutrals as it does with bold hues. Whether you’re dressing for a casual brunch or a night out, the LISA 6 ensures you do it with confidence.

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 softness and lightweight feel. Over time, it develops a rich patina, especially in the Cognac shade, which deepens in colour and gains character with wear.

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

To preserve the leather, avoid exposing it to prolonged moisture or direct sunlight. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for sheep leather every few months to keep it supple.

Is the lining removable for cleaning?

The grey lining is not removable. For cleaning, spot-clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, or take it to a professional leather cleaner to avoid damaging the material.

What is the weight of the leather like compared to other types?

Sheep leather is lighter and more pliable than cowhide or buffalo leather, making this jacket comfortable for everyday wear while still offering durability.

Are the metal zips and rivets prone to tarnishing?

The metal hardware is designed to resist tarnishing, but like all metal, it may develop a slight patina over time. To minimise this, wipe the zips and rivets occasionally with a dry cloth.

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 provides enough room for layering without appearing bulky, unlike a slim fit, which is more tailored, or an oversized fit, which is intentionally loose.

Can the jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While the leather is treated to resist light moisture, 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 designed for leather.
