Men’s Distressed Vintage Brown Leather Jacket

Men’s Distressed Brown Leather Jacket with White Stripes

Dark brown leather rubbed back to a worn finish, with white racing stripes down the front and round both sleeves. The collar is a short Nehru band that fastens with a snap tab.

What distressed means on this one

The finish is worked before the jacket is made, so the brown sits lighter at the seams and edges and darker across the panels. That is what a distressed leather jacket is. It arrives looking lived in rather than new. People search for a mens distressed leather jacket or a distressed brown leather jacket, and this is the brown version. The grey distressed biker is the same idea in grey.

The white stripes

Two stripes run down the front and two more wrap each sleeve. They are what turn it from a plain distressed jacket into a racing one. Against the dark brown they read sharp rather than sporty.

What it is made of

Cowhide, the heavier hide, which holds its shape and takes the distressing well. The lining is satin, so it slides on easily over a jumper.

The Nehru collar

A short upright band rather than a folded collar or lapels. A snap tab closes it at the neck. It keeps the front clean and lets the stripes do the work.

Pockets and zip

A YKK zip runs up the front. Two zipped pockets sit at the waist, and there are two inner pockets, one of them zipped.

Sizing

Measure round the fullest part of your chest over a t shirt, keep the tape level, and use the table on this page. Sizes run XS to 3XL.

Looking after distressed leather

Do not try to even the colour out. Heavy conditioning darkens the rubbed areas and takes away the finish. Wipe it with a damp cloth and condition it lightly once a year at most.
