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, becoming even more supple and gaining character with wear. The natural oils in the leather help it maintain durability while adapting to your movements.

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

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 smooth leathers every few months. Store it on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.

Are the zipped wrist closures functional or purely decorative?

The zipped wrist closures are fully functional, allowing you to adjust the fit for comfort or to accommodate layers underneath. They also add a secure, tailored look to the jacket.

What is the purpose of the gussets under the arms?

The gussets, or underarm expansion panels, provide extra mobility and comfort, especially when riding a motorcycle or moving your arms frequently. They prevent the jacket from feeling restrictive while maintaining a sleek silhouette.

Is the quilting on the shoulders and lower back purely aesthetic?

The quilting serves both an aesthetic and functional purpose. It adds a distinctive design element while also providing slight padding for structure and durability, particularly useful for motorcycle use.

Can this jacket be worn comfortably in warmer weather?

Yes, the sheep leather is lightweight and breathable, making it suitable for milder weather. However, it’s best worn in dry conditions, as leather can become heavy if exposed to rain. For warmer climates, consider layering it over a lightweight shirt or tee.

How does the slim fit differ from a regular fit?

The slim fit is tailored closer to the body, creating a streamlined silhouette. It’s designed to accentuate the shoulders and waist while allowing ease of movement. If you prefer a looser fit, it’s recommended to size up as suggested.
