Café Racer Crew Neck, Tea-Core, 1960s Horsehide

A crew-neck café racer leather jacket recalling the flat track racers of the 1960s and 70s. Substantial, dense horsehide in a tea-core finish, so the brown base shows at cut edges and worn areas. Lustre and shades of brown deepen the more it is worn, ageing richly.

■ 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.
