Chevignon’s TEDDY 90 APOCALYPSE: a modern take on the iconic teddy-cut leather jacket

This oversized leather jacket is crafted from supple lambskin, chosen for its lightweight feel and natural drape. The mineral tanning process gives the leather a soft hand and a warm beige tone that will develop a rich patina over time. With its signature dropped shoulders and relaxed proportions, the TEDDY 90 APOCALYPSE channels the effortless cool of 1990s streetwear while keeping the construction clean and contemporary.

A nod to Chevignon’s archives, reimagined for today

The brand drew inspiration from its own design heritage to create this piece. The distinctive shoulder cut, a hallmark of Chevignon’s teddy jackets, is preserved here, giving the jacket its unmistakable silhouette. The ribbed cuffs and hem add structure, while the central zipper with dual sliders allows for adjustable ventilation. Practical details like snap-button front pockets and two internal pockets ensure functionality without compromising the sleek aesthetic.

Versatile styling for urban and casual looks

Designed for year-round wear, the TEDDY 90 APOCALYPSE layers effortlessly over hoodies, sweaters, or lightweight knits. Pair it with jeans and trainers for a laid-back streetwear vibe, or dress it up with chinos and boots for a smart-casual edge. The oversized fit and relaxed shoulders make it a statement piece that works across seasons, from autumn through spring.

Chevignon has been a defining name in leather outerwear since the 1980s, blending quality manufacturing with a rebellious spirit. The brand’s archives are filled with iconic cuts, like the teddy jacket, which have become staples in urban fashion. Today, Chevignon continues to reinterpret its heritage, offering pieces that balance timeless design with modern wearability.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from lambskin leather with mineral tanning. Lambskin is known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, it develops a unique patina, becoming even more supple and gaining character with wear.

How should I choose the right size for an oversized fit?

The jacket has an oversized cut with wide shoulders and a relaxed fit. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down. For a true oversized silhouette, stick to your usual size or go one size up.

Is the jacket suitable for layering in colder weather?

Yes, the oversized cut and lightweight lambskin make it ideal for layering over jumpers or hoodies. However, it doesn’t include fur or heavy insulation, so additional layers may be needed in very cold conditions.

What are the care instructions for lambskin leather?

To maintain the leather, avoid exposure to water and direct sunlight. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner to preserve its suppleness and prevent drying.

How does the mineral tanning process affect the leather’s properties?

Mineral tanning, often using chrome salts, results in a softer, more pliable leather that is resistant to stretching and retains its shape well. It also allows for a wider range of colours and a smoother finish.

Can the jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While lambskin leather is durable, it is not fully waterproof. Light rain should not cause damage, but prolonged exposure to moisture can stain or stiffen the leather. It’s best to avoid heavy rain or use a protective spray.
