A Swedish-made double-breasted leather jacket, estimated from the 1940s.
A Swedish leather jacket bearing details reminiscent of the French Le Corbusier jacket.
This piece carries the rare detail of a double-breasted configuration, with buttons arranged in two columns.
The double-breasted silhouette undoubtedly commands greater visual presence than its single-breasted counterpart.
The double-breasted specification alone elevates its rarity. The market supply remains limited, and prices have steadily climbed—a trajectory likely to continue.
This is a collarless leather jacket, which means it avoids the heaviness often associated with the form. Rather, it reads as refined.
The clean neckline pairs beautifully with a turtleneck in autumn and winter.
Where most leather jackets feature button cuffs, this one is finished with a ribbed knit—trapping warmth within and sealing against the wind.
A martingale-style cinch back on the rear panel allows subtle adjustment to the silhouette.
Feel free to vary this detail according to your mood.
The leather is goat skin.
Goat leather is sourced from mature animals.
It surpasses bovine leather in tensile strength while remaining less than half the thickness—remarkably lightweight yet densely fibered and durable.
Resilient in character, the leather itself remains supple and possesses excellent elasticity.
Many assume leather jackets are rigid and uncomfortable. Yet the inherent quality of this skin, combined with the softening that comes with time, renders it accessible even to those typically reluctant with leather.
The lining is wool, ensuring effective insulation and thermal retention.
A black tag with white embroidered lettering sits at the neckline.
Pieces bearing the embroidered tags of an earlier era tend to be actively sought.
No size tag remains, though the piece appears to correspond to Japanese M–L.
The actual measurements suggest this is a golden size for Japanese proportions, accommodating a broad range of builds.
It carries itself well oversized, so even smaller frames can wear it generously and achieve a compelling silhouette.
Surface wear, color variation, and minor loose threads are present—expected marks of time. However, no significant damage impedes wear, and the jacket remains entirely wearable.
Swedish-made leather jackets arrive seldom at our shop.
The privilege of experiencing both refinement and virility in a single garment is rare.
For those seeking a leather jacket with a distinct character, this is an exceptional choice. We encourage you not to overlook it.
