1930s Half-Belt Leather Jacket — Vintage Finish, Horsehide

A horsehide half-belt leather blouson originating in the sports and Norfolk jackets of the 1930s. Fine single-hide horsehide is used generously, gaining lustre and growing into a rich range of mocha brown the more it is worn.

A half belt, action pleats, and three-dimensional panel seams across the back express the constructed silhouette of a classic sports jacket. The lining pairs a warm wool-blend check through the body with nylon in the sleeves, so even the parts you cannot see are carefully made. Vintage-specification metal zippers and square buttons make it properly built down to the details.

■ 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.
