A modern classic born from the golden age of motorsport

The Gladstone+ Hood Lamb Vita Black is where vintage racing aesthetics meet contemporary urban edge. This isn’t just another leather jacket—it’s a carefully crafted piece that channels the spirit of 1960s Grand Prix drivers while adapting to the demands of today’s streets. The result? A blouson that feels as at home on a café terrace as it does on a weekend ride through the city.

Lambskin leather with a conscience

At its core, this jacket is made from full-grain lambskin leather, treated with a . This method, rooted in tradition, ensures the leather remains supple, lightweight, and durable—without the harsh chemicals often used in modern tanning. The result is a material that feels almost buttery to the touch, yet robust enough to develop a rich patina over time. Lambskin is naturally thin and flexible, making it ideal for a jacket that moves with you, whether you’re reaching for the handlebars or hailing a cab.

Design details that tell a story

The Gladstone+ Hood doesn’t just look good—it’s built with intention. The diamond quilting on the shoulders isn’t just decorative; it’s a nod to the reinforced panels found on vintage racing jackets, where extra stitching meant extra durability. The snap-button moto collar adds a touch of rebellion, while the detachable cotton hood brings versatility—wear it up for a sleek, streamlined look or let it down when the weather turns. The zipped sleeves with snap-button flaps are another functional detail, allowing you to adjust the fit or roll up the cuffs for a more relaxed vibe.

Storage that keeps up with your lifestyle

With three zipped outer pockets and three inner ones—including a dedicated phone pocket—this jacket is designed for those who carry more than just their keys. The outer pockets are deep enough to stash a wallet or a small notebook, while the inner compartments keep your essentials secure and out of sight. Whether you’re running errands or heading to a gig, you’ll have everything you need within easy reach.

A jacket that adapts to your style

The Gladstone+ Hood is as versatile as it is stylish. Pair it with slim-fit jeans and trainers for a casual, everyday look, or layer it over a T-shirt and Chelsea boots for a night out. The regular fit ensures it flatters most body types without being too loose or too snug, while the black hue makes it a blank canvas for any outfit. It’s the kind of jacket that doesn’t just complement your wardrobe—it elevates it.
