Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from sheepskin leather, known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, sheepskin develops a rich patina, becoming even more supple and gaining character with wear. It’s less prone to creasing than thicker leathers but will show signs of use in high-friction areas like the elbows.

How should I care for the sheepskin 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 dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for delicate leathers like sheepskin, using a small amount to prevent over-saturation. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.

Are the wrist zips functional or purely decorative?

The wrist zips are functional and designed for ease of wear. They allow you to adjust the fit around the wrists, making it simpler to put on or remove the jacket, especially if you’re wearing gloves or have a snug fit around the forearms.

What does the 'slim fit' cut mean for sizing?

The slim fit cut is tailored to follow the body’s contours more closely than a regular fit. It’s designed to sit snugly around the chest, waist, and arms without being restrictive. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up, especially if you plan to layer thicker garments underneath.

How do the shoulder gussets affect the jacket’s fit and style?

The shoulder gussets, or 'soufflets d’aisance,' serve two purposes: they provide additional room for movement, making the jacket more comfortable when raising your arms, and they add a subtle biker-inspired detail to the design. This feature enhances the jacket’s versatility, blending classic and contemporary styling.

Is the polyester lining breathable for warmer weather?

The polyester lining is lightweight and designed to be breathable, making it suitable for spring and summer wear. However, it’s not as breathable as natural fibres like cotton or linen, so if you’re in a particularly warm climate, you may find the jacket more comfortable in milder temperatures or transitional seasons.

Can the jacket be worn in light rain?

While sheepskin leather can handle brief exposure to light rain, it’s not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause the leather to become stiff or discoloured. If caught in the rain, dry the jacket naturally away from direct heat sources and apply a leather conditioner afterwards to restore its suppleness.
