Le cuir de mouton

This Cityzen leather jacket is crafted from sheep leather—a material known for its remarkable softness and lightweight feel. Unlike thicker leathers such as cowhide or buffalo, sheep leather offers a supple drape that moulds to the body without sacrificing durability. The "New Cognac" finish gives it a warm, earthy tone that deepens with wear, developing a unique patina over time. The skinny cut enhances the fluidity of the leather, making it a versatile piece that transitions effortlessly from casual to smart-casual settings.The absence of fur lining keeps the jacket light, ideal for layering during transitional seasons. Yet, the cotton-polyester blend lining provides just enough structure to maintain its shape while ensuring breathability. The zip closure, a staple of biker-inspired designs, adds a touch of edge without overpowering the refined silhouette.

Inspired by classic motorcycle jackets, reimagined for modern wardrobes

The Kansas New Cognac draws from the heritage of motorcycle jackets—think of the iconic Schott Perfecto, born in the 1920s, or the rebellious spirit of Marlon Brando in *The Wild One*. However, Cityzen has stripped away the bulk, opting for a skinny fit that flatters contemporary body shapes. The mandarin collar, a nod to vintage aviator styles, softens the rugged aesthetic, making it suitable for both urban commutes and evening outings.The adjustable waist tabs are a functional detail borrowed from workwear, allowing you to cinch the jacket for a more tailored look or loosen it for comfort. Meanwhile, the two interior pockets offer secure storage for essentials, while the exterior pockets add a utilitarian touch. The jacket’s versatility lies in its ability to pair with everything from slim-fit jeans and Chelsea boots to tailored trousers and a crisp shirt.

Crafted for longevity, designed for ease

The sheep leather, while delicate in appearance, is resilient when cared for properly. An annual treatment with leather conditioner and waterproofing spray will preserve its suppleness and protect it from the elements. Over time, the cognac hue will evolve, darkening in areas of frequent contact—such as the cuffs and collar—creating a lived-in look that tells a story.The skinny cut, while flattering, may not suit all body types. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up. However, for those who appreciate a sleek, streamlined silhouette, this jacket is a standout choice. Its lightweight construction makes it a year-round staple, layering effortlessly over knitwear in autumn or under a trench coat in spring.
