This isn’t just another biker jacket—it’s a statement of effortless rebellion, crafted for those who demand both edge and elegance.

The Oakwood Follow Tan redefines the iconic perfecto with a feminine twist, blending the raw attitude of a biker jacket with the refined softness of premium sheepskin leather. Designed for women who appreciate the details, this slim-fit jacket wraps the silhouette in a supple, lightweight leather that moves with you, not against you. The tan/beige hue, subtly washed and glazed, gives it a lived-in charm that only improves with time—like a favourite piece that’s been on countless adventures.

A jacket built for movement, not just for show.

The Follow Tan’s construction is all about precision. The asymmetrical zip closure, a hallmark of the biker aesthetic, isn’t just for looks—it’s a functional detail that adds a layer of protection against the wind. The lateral zip pockets, also asymmetrical, are deep enough to stow essentials without disrupting the jacket’s sleek lines. Inside, discreet pockets keep valuables secure, while zippered wrist vents offer adjustability for comfort. The notched collar, finished with distressed metal hardware, nods to the vintage biker look but with a modern, understated twist.

Leather that feels like a second skin—and ages like a story.

Oakwood chose sheepskin for this jacket, and it’s a choice that speaks volumes. Softer and more pliable than cowhide, sheepskin moulds to the body over time, developing a unique patina that tells your story. The "decati" finish—a slightly worn, matte effect—gives the leather an instant vintage appeal, while the subtle glaze adds just enough shine to catch the light. It’s a balance of ruggedness and sophistication, designed to look as good with a dress as it does with jeans and boots. And because it’s lightweight, it’s as practical for a city commute as it is for a weekend escape.

Oakwood has spent decades mastering the art of leather outerwear, drawing inspiration from the golden age of biker culture while refining it for the modern wardrobe. The brand’s expertise lies in its ability to balance tradition with innovation—using premium hides, meticulous manufacturing, and subtle design tweaks to create jackets that feel both timeless and fresh. Each piece is a nod to the past, but built for the way we live now.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from sheep leather, known for its softness, lightweight feel, and fine grain. Over time, it develops a rich patina, especially with the washed and slightly glossy finish, which enhances its character while maintaining its supple texture.

How should I choose the right size for a slim-fit biker jacket?

A slim-fit biker jacket should follow the contours of the body without restricting movement. If you prefer a snug fit, choose your usual size. For a slightly looser fit, consider sizing up. Pay attention to shoulder width and sleeve length, as these are key for comfort and style.

Are the zipped wrists functional or purely decorative?

The zipped wrists, known as ease zips, are functional. They allow you to adjust the fit around the wrists for comfort or to create a slightly looser, more relaxed look when desired.

How do I care for the washed and glossy finish to maintain its appearance?

To preserve the washed and glossy finish, avoid exposing the jacket to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and store it in a breathable garment bag. For deeper cleaning, consult a professional leather specialist.

Is this jacket suitable for layering in cooler weather?

Yes, the slim-fit design and lightweight sheep leather make it ideal for layering. It pairs well over thin jumpers or hoodies, though it may not provide enough warmth on its own in very cold conditions.

What makes the asymmetrical zipper design practical?

The asymmetrical zipper not only adds a distinctive biker aesthetic but also allows for easier movement when seated or riding. It also provides a more secure fit, reducing drafts compared to a central zipper.
