It is cut as a racer, with a short band collar, a straight centre zip, quilted panels at the shoulders and zip pockets at the front. The distressed surface takes the shine off the leather and gives it a relaxed, effortless feel. It is ideal if you want black leather without the brand-new look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine leather with a distressed, matte finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slim racer fit, sits at the hip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Centre front zip with snap band collar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distressed black with soft grey highlights\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry wipe only, colourless conditioner, avoid shiny polishes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Distressed Leather Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistressed leather is treated to look aged. The surface is gently worked so it shows creases, lighter edges and a matte texture, the same marks a jacket picks up after years of wear. It is a deliberate finish, not damage, and it gives each jacket a slightly different look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a racer jacket, the effect feels effortless. The clean band collar and straight zip keep the shape neat, while the distressed surface keeps it from looking too polished. This is a fashion jacket and is not certified motorcycle protective gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLeather and Make\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe jacket is cut from genuine leather and given its distressed finish by hand. Skilled leather workers stitch the quilted shoulder panels in even rows and reinforce the seams at the shoulders, collar and pockets. Zips are metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistressed leather is very forgiving. New scuffs blend into the finish, and the jacket only gains character with wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling Ideas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy:\u003c\/strong\u003e black jeans, a grey tee and black boots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelaxed:\u003c\/strong\u003e a white shirt, light jeans and trainers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContrast:\u003c\/strong\u003e a floral midi dress and ankle boots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver or gunmetal jewellery suits the soft grey highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDistressed vs Smooth Black Leather\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmooth black leather looks sharp and polished, which is perfect for smart outfits but can feel a little formal for everyday wear. Distressed black is the relaxed alternative. The matte surface and grey highlights soften the colour, so the jacket sits more naturally with casual clothes like hoodies, band tees and worn denim. It is also far more practical for busy days, travel and outdoor plans, because everyday knocks and scuffs simply add to the look instead of spoiling it. If you want a black leather jacket that you never have to worry about, the distressed finish is the easier choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCaring for a Distressed Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe good news is that distressed leather needs less fuss than smooth leather. Wipe it with a dry cloth to remove dust and avoid shiny or coloured polishes, which would fill in the matte surface and cover the grey highlights. A light, colourless conditioner a few times a year keeps the leather supple without changing the look. If it gets wet, let it dry slowly at room temperature. Over the years, the finish will continue to soften and develop, making the jacket feel more and more personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit and Sizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe racer fit is slim through the body and sleeves.
