VITO OLD BROWN: A timeless leather jacket with a story to tell

The VITO OLD BROWN by Cityzen isn’t just a leather jacket—it’s a piece of quality manufacturing that carries the soul of its material. This regular-fit jacket is cut from full-grain sheepskin, a choice that speaks volumes about its character. Sheepskin, especially when reversed (or "retourné"), offers a unique combination of softness and durability, making it a favourite among those who appreciate both comfort and longevity in their leather goods. The "Old Brown" finish isn’t just a colour; it’s a nod to the patina that develops over time, giving the jacket a lived-in, authentic look from the moment you slip it on.

A jacket built for all-day wear

The regular fit of the VITO OLD BROWN is designed to flatter a wide range of body types, making it a versatile choice for everyday wear. Whether you’re pairing it with jeans and a sweater for a casual outing or layering it over a shirt and trousers for a more polished look, this jacket adapts effortlessly. The sheepskin’s natural insulation makes it ideal for autumn and winter, providing warmth without bulk. It’s the kind of jacket you reach for when you want to feel comfortable, confident, and stylish—no matter the occasion.

The result is a piece that feels as good as it looks—substantial yet supple, with a finish that only improves with age.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used and how does it differ from full-grain leather?

This jacket is made from sheepskin suede, which is the reverse side of the hide. Unlike full-grain leather, which uses the outer layer, suede is softer, more flexible, and has a velvety texture. It’s less resistant to water and stains but develops a unique patina over time.

How thick is the leather and will it keep me warm in winter?

The leather is medium-weight, typically around 1.2 to 1.5 millimetres thick. Sheepskin suede provides natural insulation, making it suitable for autumn and winter, though layering may be needed in extreme cold.

Does the 'Old Brown' colour change over time?

Yes, the 'Old Brown' shade will evolve with wear. Suede leather tends to darken slightly and develop a richer, more personalised tone as it ages, especially in areas of frequent contact.

Is the jacket lined, and if so, with what material?

The jacket features a soft, breathable lining, typically made from polyester or viscose. This adds comfort and helps regulate temperature while maintaining the jacket’s shape.

How should I care for suede to maintain its appearance?

Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialised suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid water exposure, and store it in a cool, dry place with a breathable dust bag to prevent moisture buildup.

What body types does the regular fit accommodate best?

The regular fit is designed to suit most body types, offering a balanced silhouette without being too loose or fitted. It works well for average builds and those who prefer a classic, versatile cut.
