Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used and how does it feel to the touch?

This jacket is made from fine sheep leather, which is known for its softness and lightweight feel. It’s similar to lambskin, offering a smooth and supple texture that drapes comfortably.

Is this jacket suitable for all seasons?

Yes, the lightweight and breathable nature of sheep leather makes it versatile enough for year-round wear, though it’s best suited for mild to cool weather rather than extreme cold.

How should I care for the ecru colour to keep it looking fresh?

Ecru is a light shade, so it’s important to use a delicate leather cream and avoid exposure to dirt or moisture. Regularly applying a waterproofing spray can help maintain its appearance.

Does the jacket have any lining or insulation?

No, this jacket is unlined and does not include insulation, which contributes to its lightweight and breathable design.

What does the 'regular fit' mean for sizing?

A regular fit means the jacket is designed to follow your natural body shape without being too tight or too loose. You can typically choose your usual size for this cut.

Are the racing stripes purely decorative or do they serve a function?

The racing stripes are a stylistic feature inspired by motorsport aesthetics. They don’t serve a functional purpose but add a dynamic, sporty touch to the design.

How does sheep leather age compared to other types of leather?

Sheep leather develops a soft, natural patina over time, similar to lambskin. It tends to soften further with wear but may show creases more readily than thicker leathers like cowhide.
