Leather shirt

Leather shirt

This leather shirt is cut relaxed — wider through the body, dropped at the shoulder, longer at the hem — so it works as an overshirt worn open rather than a fitted shirt worn buttoned. It is the piece to choose from our women leather shirts if you want leather in your outfit without committing to a jacket.

• Material: Genuine soft leather, light shirt weight
• Fit: Relaxed with a dropped shoulder
• Closure: Button front, designed to wear open
• Color: Black
• Care: Dry wipe, professional leather clean, hang on a wide hanger

The dropped shoulder, and why it changes everything

On a fitted shirt the shoulder seam sits exactly on the point of your shoulder. Drop that seam an inch or two down the arm and the whole garment relaxes: the sleeve hangs softer, the body widens, and there is room to wear a knit underneath without the shirt straining. It is the same construction trick used in overshirts and shackets, and in leather it is particularly useful because leather cannot stretch to accommodate a layer beneath it.

Wearing it as a layer

Over a fine knit or a T-shirt it is a light jacket for spring and autumn. Over a shirt it becomes the middle layer under a coat in winter. Because it is longer at the hem, it also works over dresses and with leggings, where a cropped jacket would cut the line awkwardly. Sleeves can be pushed up — soft leather holds a rolled sleeve reasonably well, though it will need smoothing back down.

Keeping the shape

A relaxed leather garment relies on its own weight to hang correctly, which means storage matters. Use a broad hanger that supports the whole shoulder, not a thin wire one, and never fold it away for a season — the crease sets into soft leather and does not lift out. If the shoulders do get marked by a hanger, hanging it in a steamy bathroom for twenty minutes and then letting it dry naturally usually relaxes them.

Sizing and made to order

Relaxed cuts are forgiving, so most people take their normal size. If you want it noticeably oversized, go up one. Sizes run XS to 5XL, with Custom available — send bust, shoulder, sleeve, and length. We cut each piece after your order comes in.
