Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from genuine sheepskin leather, known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, sheepskin develops a rich patina, becoming even more supple and gaining character with wear. It’s naturally breathable, making it comfortable across seasons.

How should I choose the right size for a fitted leather jacket?

For a cinched fit, opt for your usual size if you prefer a snug silhouette. If you plan to layer thicker garments underneath, consider sizing up. The leather will mould to your shape over time, so avoid excessive oversizing for the best long-term fit.

Is the polyester lining breathable?

Yes, the 100% polyester lining is lightweight and designed to allow airflow, preventing overheating while maintaining structure. It also makes the jacket easier to slip on and off.

Can this jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While sheepskin leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, it’s not fully waterproof. Light rain won’t damage it, but prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided. If caught in the rain, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat.

What’s the best way to maintain the leather’s suppleness?

Store it on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for sheepskin every few months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid silicone-based products, as they can clog the leather’s pores.

Are the press studs on the chest pockets functional?

Yes, the press studs on the chest pockets secure the flaps, providing additional protection for your belongings. The zipped side pockets offer extra security for smaller items.

How does the shirt-style collar affect the jacket’s versatility?

The shirt-style collar adds a refined touch, making it easy to pair with both casual and smart-casual outfits. It can be worn open for a relaxed look or buttoned up for a more polished appearance in cooler weather.
