Daytona’s GLOBE Sheep Bison: a lambskin jacket that balances heritage and everyday wear

This is not another retro reissue. The GLOBE Sheep Bison is Daytona’s modern take on the classic mid-length leather jacket—light enough for layering, structured enough to hold its shape, and cut to move with you rather than against you. The lambskin is supple yet resilient, chosen for its ability to soften with wear while keeping a crisp silhouette. Inside, the body is lined in cotton for breathability, while the sleeves get a polyester lining that glides over shirts and knits without snagging. Every stitch and zip is placed for function first, so the jacket feels as good at the end of the day as it did in the morning.

Construction that speaks quietly

The straight cut is neither oversized nor slim; it sits on the waist without clinging, allowing room for a sweater underneath. Two external zip pockets sit at hip level, angled for easy access, and three internal pockets—one zipped—keep essentials secure. The high collar is stitched with visible top-stitching, a nod to workwear that also reinforces the leather. Zips at the cuffs let you adjust the fit when you layer up or down, making the jacket adaptable from autumn through early spring.

Colour and styling cues

The Bison shade is a warm, medium brown that reads neutral in daylight and gains depth under artificial light. It pairs as easily with raw denim and boots as it does with tailored trousers and Chelsea boots. For a more casual look, try it over a chunky knit and slim-fit jeans; for something sharper, layer it under a wool overcoat. The jacket is also available in dark brown and black, but the Bison tone develops the most character as it ages, darkening slightly at the edges and creases.

Daytona began in the early 2000s as a small Parisian workshop focused on leather outerwear that could withstand daily wear without sacrificing style. The brand quickly earned a reputation for sourcing quality hides—lambskin, cowhide, and bison—and cutting them with precision. While many labels chase trends, Daytona remains committed to timeless silhouettes, often revisiting classic motorcycle and aviator shapes with subtle updates. The result is a collection of jackets that feel both contemporary and rooted in decades of leather-crafting tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thickness of the lambskin leather used in this jacket?

The lambskin leather in this jacket is thin and lightweight, offering a soft and supple feel while maintaining durability. It typically ranges between 0.8mm and 1.2mm in thickness, making it ideal for mid-season wear.

How does the lambskin leather age over time?

Lambskin develops a unique patina with wear, softening further and gaining character. The leather may show natural creases and slight variations in colour, enhancing its individuality. Regular conditioning helps maintain its suppleness.

Are the zips on the wrists adjustable for a snug fit?

Yes, the wrist zips are designed for ease and adjustability, allowing you to loosen or tighten the fit around the cuffs for added comfort or a more tailored look.

Is the cotton lining breathable for warmer days?

The cotton lining in the body provides breathability, making it comfortable for mild to cool weather. However, it is not designed for high temperatures, as the jacket is intended for mid-season use.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded hanger to maintain its shape and avoid folding it to prevent creases. A breathable garment bag can help protect it from dust.

Can the jacket be worn in light rain?

While lambskin leather can withstand light moisture, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain may cause water spots or stiffen the leather. It’s best to avoid heavy rain and treat the jacket with a leather protector if needed.

What type of footwear pairs best with this jacket?

The jacket’s classic and timeless style pairs well with boots, such as Chelsea boots or lace-up leather boots. For a more casual look, it also complements clean, minimalist trainers or brogues.
