Type 1 Military Leather Jacket, WW2 Model

A WW2-era model based on the Second World War Type 1 military leather jacket. The main material is unbuffed horsehide with the natural grain left exactly as it is, so every piece carries its own grain and veining. Being tea-core, the brown core shows through where the leather is worn, and depth builds with age. Button front, flap chest pockets, and a cinch back, practical, rough details throughout.

■ Care
• Take care to keep the leather away from rain and water. If it does get wet, blot the moisture off promptly with a dry cloth and let it dry naturally in a well-ventilated, shaded place.
• Store on a hanger that matches the shoulder width so the garment keeps its shape.
• Wipe dirt away gently with a dry, soft cloth, and condition with a leather cream as needed.
• Store away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.

■ About natural leather
• Because this is natural leather, creases, veining, scars, and uneven colour may be visible. These are the character of a natural material, not defects.
• Colour may fade, transfer, or change with age through wear.
• Every piece looks slightly different. Please order with this in mind.
