Navy Blue Satin Jacket
The Navy Blue Satin Jacket is a satin bomber, not a leather one — worth saying at the top, because it sits alongside our leather range and is a completely different garment. Satin is a woven fabric with a smooth, lightly lustrous face, and it makes for a far lighter jacket than any hide.

What satin is
Satin is a weave rather than a fibre. The threads are woven so that most of them float on the surface, producing a smooth face with a soft sheen and a matte reverse. It can be made from silk, polyester or a blend, and the weave is what gives the finish rather than the material.
The practical consequences: it is light, it drapes rather than holding a shape, and it does not block wind the way leather does. It is a spring and autumn jacket, not a winter one.
Where satin bombers come from
The satin varsity or baseball jacket has its own tradition, separate from wool and leather versions — it was the warm-weather alternative for teams, and it moved into music and street clothing from there. The pattern is the same: snap front, ribbed collar, cuffs and hem.
Navy is the most versatile colour it comes in. Bright satin reads costume; navy reads as an ordinary jacket with a slight sheen.
Fit, care and honest notes
Regular fit with room for a tee or a fine knit at your usual size. Rib hem at the waist.
Care differs entirely from leather, which is the main thing to know: satin can usually be washed cool on a gentle cycle or dry cleaned, must not be tumble dried, and should be ironed on low if at all. Do not apply leather conditioner or leather cleaner to it — they will stain the fabric.
