A double-breasted leather jacket, estimated from the 1940s and made in Sweden.
A rare piece for our shop — a Swedish-made leather jacket.
Black leather jackets of this versatility are truly timeless essentials, untouched by the passage of fashion trends.
Being a collarless style, this leather jacket carries a certain lightness and elegance despite its material weight.
The double-breasted button configuration is another strength. While collarless pieces and something akin to the Le Corbusier jacket might both employ double-breasted construction, the impression here is distinctly its own — the absence of a collar transforms the entire character.
It's worth considering both as distinct pieces to reach for depending on your disposition on any given day.
The leather is goatskin, which means it's exceptionally soft and wearable from the start.
Goatskin is characterised by its strength, suppleness, thinness and lightness.
The high density of its fibres means the leather resists creasing and wear despite its minimal thickness.
Many assume leather jackets to be rigid and uncomfortable, but this piece has already softened beautifully with time. It conforms to the body with ease, and those who have hesitated before wearing leather will find no difficulty here.
The wool lining provides warmth, and the jacket performs as well functionally as it does aesthetically.
An embroidered tag sits at the neckline.
Marked as size 50, this is a generous cut that accommodates larger frames comfortably.
It works equally well worn oversized — even those of slighter build will find it striking worn loose.
Light creasing and subtle abrasion from use are present, yet the condition remains quite sound when considered against its age.
There are no significant damages affecting wearability — this remains a piece very much ready to be worn.
