Nubuck leather meets timeless biker style

The AUSTIN Nubuck Brown from Cityzen is a modern take on the classic perfecto jacket, crafted in rich brown nubuck leather. This women’s biker jacket strips back the excess to focus on clean lines, a slim fit, and the natural beauty of the material. Designed for spring and summer, it’s lightweight enough for transitional weather yet structured enough to make a statement. The absence of fur trim keeps the look sleek and contemporary, while the nubuck’s velvety texture adds a touch of understated luxury.

A jacket that ages with character

Nubuck is a full-grain leather that’s been sanded or buffed on the outer surface to create a soft, matte finish. Unlike smooth leather, nubuck develops a unique patina over time, absorbing oils and wear to reveal subtle variations in tone and texture. This jacket isn’t just a piece for today—it’s an investment in a garment that will evolve with you, growing more distinctive with every outing. The slim fit flatters the body without restricting movement, while the classic biker details—like the asymmetrical zip and snap-button pockets—ensure it never strays too far from its rebellious roots.

Versatility without compromise

The AUSTIN Nubuck Brown bridges the gap between edgy and elegant. Pair it with high-waisted jeans and ankle boots for a casual weekend look, or layer it over a midi dress and heels for an evening out. The brown hue is neutral enough to work with almost any palette, from earthy tones to bold contrasts. And because it’s designed for warmer months, it’s the perfect transitional piece—light enough to wear indoors, substantial enough to cut through a cool breeze. Whether you’re riding a scooter or strolling through the city, this jacket adapts to your rhythm.

Cityzen is a brand that blends contemporary design with the enduring appeal of quality manufacturing. While they draw inspiration from classic styles like the perfecto, they’re not afraid to experiment with materials and cuts to create pieces that feel fresh and relevant. Their collections often feature a mix of traditional leather and innovative textures, catering to those who appreciate quality without sacrificing modern aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is nubuck and how does it differ from suede or smooth leather?

Nubuck is a type of leather that has been sanded or buffed on the grain side to create a soft, velvety surface. Unlike suede, which is made from the underside of the hide, nubuck comes from the top grain, making it slightly more durable. It’s also thicker and more resistant than suede but less so than smooth leather, which hasn’t been sanded.

How should I care for a nubuck jacket to maintain its appearance?

Nubuck requires gentle care to preserve its texture. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and a specialised nubuck cleaner for stains. Avoid water, as it can leave marks, and always let it air-dry naturally. Applying a nubuck protector spray can help repel stains and moisture.

Is this jacket suitable for layering in cooler weather?

While this jacket is designed for spring and summer, it can be layered over lightweight knits or thin jumpers in mild autumn weather. However, it doesn’t provide significant warmth, so it’s best paired with additional layers in cooler temperatures.

How does the slim fit affect the sizing compared to a regular fit?

A slim fit is tailored closer to the body, so it may feel more snug than a regular fit. If you prefer a looser silhouette, consider sizing up. The jacket is available from S to 4XL, so check the size guide for precise measurements.

Does nubuck develop a patina over time like other leathers?

Nubuck does evolve with wear, but its patina differs from smooth leather. Instead of darkening or developing a sheen, it softens further and may show subtle variations in texture. Regular brushing helps maintain its uniform appearance.

Can this jacket be dressed up for formal occasions?

While it’s a classic style, nubuck’s casual texture makes it better suited for smart-casual outfits rather than formal events. Pair it with tailored trousers and boots for a polished yet relaxed look.
