The shirt-style collar adds a touch of casual sophistication, making it ideal for transitional seasons like spring and early autumn. Lightweight and breathable, it’s designed for those who want a jacket that feels as good as it looks.

Why Goat Suede?

Goat suede is a material with character. Unlike traditional leather, it’s thinner and more pliable, yet surprisingly durable. Its velvety surface develops a unique patina over time, softening with wear while maintaining its structure. This jacket is made for those who appreciate the evolution of their clothing—where each crease and fade tells a story.Daytona’s choice to use goat suede here isn’t accidental. It’s a nod to the heritage of suede jackets, which gained popularity in the mid-20th century among artists, musicians, and rebels who favoured its tactile appeal. The Maripula continues that legacy, offering a modern interpretation of a classic.

Designed for the Everyday

This isn’t a jacket for extreme weather or rugged adventures. It’s for the everyday—layered over a simple shirt or a lightweight knit, paired with jeans or tailored trousers. The absence of fur or heavy lining keeps it sleek and adaptable, perfect for urban environments where style and comfort go hand in hand.The Maripula is a jacket that grows with you. It’s not about fleeting trends but about timeless appeal, where the material and the wearer develop a symbiotic relationship. Whether you’re dressing it up for an evening out or keeping it casual for a weekend brunch, it’s a piece that effortlessly bridges the gap between effortless and intentional.

Daytona is a brand that understands the language of leather. Founded on the principles of quality manufacturing, it specialises in jackets that blend contemporary design with traditional techniques. While some brands chase trends, Daytona focuses on creating pieces that stand the test of time—where the material, the cut, and the details matter more than the label.
