A sleek, modern take on the classic biker jacket—without the bulk.

The ALICIA TOKYO BLACK from Redskins strips the biker silhouette down to its essentials: a single asymmetric zip, clean lines, and a slim fit that flatters without constricting. The jacket is cut from genuine sheepskin leather, a choice that balances durability with a lightweight feel—ideal for layering over jumpers in autumn or wearing open over a tee in spring. The interior reveals a bold red lining, a nod to the rebellious spirit of the original biker jackets, while functional details like zippered pockets and a snap-flap chest pocket keep the design practical for urban wear.

Sheepskin leather: the unsung hero of everyday leather jackets.

Sheepskin might not have the rugged reputation of cowhide, but it’s the quiet workhorse of the leather world. Thinner and more pliable than its heavier counterparts, it moulds to the body over time, developing a patina that tells the story of each wear. It’s also surprisingly resilient—resistant to creases and scuffs, making it a smart choice for a jacket meant to be worn often. The ALICIA TOKYO BLACK leans into these qualities, offering a jacket that’s as comfortable on a scooter as it is on a night out.

Designed for movement, built for style.

The slim fit of this jacket isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about function. The cut is tailored enough to avoid excess fabric flapping in the wind (a must for city cycling), yet it leaves enough room for layering—a thin knit underneath in winter or a lightweight shirt in summer. The asymmetric zip isn’t just a stylistic flourish; it’s a practical detail that makes the jacket easier to zip up while seated, whether you’re on a bike or at a café. The zippered pockets are deep enough to hold essentials like keys or a phone, while the snap-flap pocket adds a touch of vintage charm without sacrificing security.

Redskins has been crafting leather jackets since 1984, blending French tailoring with the raw edge of biker culture. The brand’s signature lies in its ability to reinterpret classic styles—like the perfecto or the bomber—with a contemporary twist, often playing with proportions, linings, and hardware. While many brands chase trends, Redskins focuses on timeless designs that evolve with the wearer, much like the leather itself. The ALICIA TOKYO BLACK is a perfect example of this philosophy: a jacket that feels both familiar and fresh, rooted in history but designed for modern life.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from genuine sheepskin leather, known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, it develops a rich patina, becoming more supple and gaining character with wear.

Is the fit true to size or should I size up?

The slim fit is designed to follow the body's contours. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up, especially if layering underneath. Check the size guide for precise measurements.

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

Avoid exposing it to prolonged moisture or direct sunlight. Use a leather conditioner occasionally to keep it supple, and store it on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.

Does the red lining affect the warmth of the jacket?

The red lining is primarily aesthetic but adds a slight layer of insulation. It’s suitable for mild to cool weather but may not provide enough warmth in freezing temperatures.

Are the zipped pockets secure for carrying small items?

Yes, the zipped pockets are functional and designed to keep small items secure. The asymmetrical zip also adds a stylish touch while ensuring easy access.
