LEATHER JACKETS

Romanticized as having an unquestioned, transformative cool-factor, the leather jacket is arguably the most enduring piece of men’s outerwear, a notion that is palpable in this season’s offerings. Although the traditional motorcycle jacket structure is prevalent throughout our selection, the jacket is also subject to clever edits that distinguish each designer’s interpretation. This season finds the leather jacket exercising its mastery over a timeless bad-boy aesthetic by integrating studs, patchwork, and distressing into flawlessly-cut leather pieces. Paying a similar attention to fit but paring down on rebellious signifiers, a more streamlined variety of leather jackets includes neatly spray-painted trims, and ambitious cuts that mimic blazers. In a nod towards the anarchic leanings of the 70’s punk movement, graphic prints are included to emit a scrappy, homemade sensibility. Elsewhere in the collection are designs that opt to adhere to the legacy of the biker jacket with structures that strive for familiarity rather than reinvention. Through this multitude of different approaches, our freshly curated variety of leather jackets encapsulates the fragments that make up the piece’s iconic status.
