This is the biker jacket that bridges classic rebellion and modern elegance

The CLIPS Black 501 from Oakwood isn’t just another leather jacket—it’s a refined take on the iconic biker silhouette, crafted for those who appreciate the raw edge of rock style without sacrificing sophistication. Designed with a slim, tailored fit, it hugs the body just enough to accentuate movement while maintaining the effortless cool of a true motorcycle jacket. The exterior is made from supple, lightweight sheepskin leather with a subtle grain effect, giving it a lived-in texture that only improves with age. Inside, a smooth polyester lining ensures comfort against the skin, making it versatile enough for layering or wearing solo.

A jacket built for both form and function

Every detail of the CLIPS Black 501 serves a purpose. The three zippered front pockets offer secure storage without disrupting the clean lines of the jacket, while the single interior pocket keeps essentials safe and out of sight. The collar—available in either a classic shirt style or a notched biker cut—adds a touch of versatility, allowing you to dress it up or down depending on the occasion. Long sleeves with zippered cuffs provide adjustability, ensuring a perfect fit whether you’re riding a scooter or strolling through the city. And though it’s designed for mid-season wear, its lightweight construction makes it adaptable to cooler summer evenings or early autumn days.

From the road to the street: a jacket with attitude

The CLIPS Black 501 doesn’t just look the part—it feels like a piece of rock ‘n’ roll history. The slim fit and structured shoulders nod to the rebellious spirit of classic biker jackets, while the soft, pliable sheepskin leather ensures it moves with you, not against you. It’s the kind of jacket that pairs effortlessly with a chunky knit and skinny jeans for a laid-back weekend look, but also holds its own with a sleek dress and ankle boots for a night out. And because it’s available in extended sizes (up to UK 22/EU 54), it’s designed to flatter a wide range of body types without compromising on style.

Each Oakwood piece tells a story, whether it’s through the subtle grain of the leather or the precision of the stitching, making their jackets more than just clothing—they’re investments in timeless style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thickness of the sheepskin used for this jacket?

The sheepskin used is described as fine and lightweight, typically around 0.8 to 1.2 millimetres thick, offering a balance between durability and comfort.

How does the grain effect on the leather evolve over time?

The grain effect on the sheepskin will develop a natural patina with wear, softening further and gaining character while maintaining its subtle texture.

Is the lining removable for cleaning?

No, the polyester lining is stitched in and not designed to be removed. Spot cleaning is recommended for maintenance.

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

Regularly apply a leather conditioner suitable for sheepskin to keep it supple. Avoid excessive exposure to moisture and direct sunlight.

Does the slim fit allow for layering underneath?

The slim fit is tailored but allows for light layering, such as a thin jumper or shirt. Bulkier layers may feel restrictive.

Are the zips on the pockets water-resistant?

The zips are not specifically water-resistant. While they provide secure closure, prolonged exposure to rain should be avoided to preserve the leather.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid plastic covers to allow the leather to breathe.
