Switchyard Railroad Jacket — 1930s Horsehide
A jacket originating in the railroad work jacket worn by switchyard workers in 1930s America. The air of those rough working men is rebuilt here in substantial horsehide. A notched lapel, button front, flap pockets, and a half belt at the back concentrate the functional beauty of workwear.
The outer leather is a hard-wearing horsehide, gaining lustre and shadow and ageing distinctively the more it is worn. The lining uses about 780 g of mercerised wool generously, for both real warmth and a fine hand against the skin. Naturally carved horn buttons run down the placket — a proper specification. The colour is a rich black that lets the tea-core show.

■ About natural leather
This product is made of natural leather, so insect marks, healed scars, fine scratches, localised creasing or slack, and variation in pigment (uneven colour) may be visible. These are the differences from hide to hide that come with a natural material, not a quality problem. That every piece reads differently is exactly the appeal of real leather. Please order with this in mind.
