The LEXIA NOIR 501: a timeless leather jacket that blends effortless elegance with everyday practicality.

This Oakwood piece is crafted from genuine sheepskin leather, a material celebrated for its softness, lightness, and natural drape.

A design rooted in simplicity, with thoughtful details.

The jacket features a shirt-style collar, a nod to classic tailoring that adds a touch of sophistication. The central button closure provides a clean, understated look, while the concealed pockets maintain the sleek lines of the design. For added functionality, a zipped inner pocket keeps essentials secure. The cuffs are finished with subtle stitching, ensuring a polished appearance. The lining, a blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, offers breathability and comfort, making this jacket suitable for transitional weather.

Versatility at its core.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from genuine sheepskin leather, known for its fine grain, softness, and lightweight feel. Over time, it develops a rich patina that enhances its character, especially with regular wear. The leather remains supple but may show natural creases and slight darkening in high-friction areas.

How should I care for the leather to maintain its quality?

Use a delicate leather cream and a waterproofing spray designed for fine leathers, testing both on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid direct heat or sunlight when drying. For deep cleaning or conditioning, consult a leather specialist to preserve the leather’s suppleness and finish.

Is the lining breathable for year-round wear?

The lining is a blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, offering a balance of breathability and durability. While it provides some warmth, the lightweight sheepskin leather ensures the jacket remains suitable for mild to cool weather, rather than extreme cold.

How does the button closure compare to a zipper in terms of durability?

Button closures are less prone to mechanical failure than zippers and allow for slight adjustments in fit. However, they may require occasional tightening of the buttons over time. The central placement ensures a secure closure while maintaining a clean, classic aesthetic.

Are the concealed pockets secure for carrying small items?

The invisible pockets are designed to blend seamlessly with the jacket’s lines, offering discreet storage. While they are secure for lightweight items like keys or cards, they are not reinforced for heavy or bulky objects. The inner zipped pocket provides additional security for valuables.

Does the shirt-style collar affect the jacket’s warmth?

The shirt-style collar is primarily a design feature, offering a refined, versatile look. It does not provide significant insulation compared to a stand-up or fur-lined collar. For added warmth, it can be worn buttoned up or layered with a scarf in cooler weather.
