Slim Fit Black Leather Shirt For Women
This is the dressier slim leather shirt. Where our casual slim shirt keeps a soft collar and a relaxed attitude, this one is built to be worn closed and tucked — a sharper collar, a cleaner front line, and a body cut to sit flat under a waistband rather than blousing above it.

Cut to be tucked
A shirt designed to be tucked is drafted differently from one meant to hang loose. The body is cut with less flare below the waist, so there is no surplus to bunch inside a waistband. The hem is straight rather than curved. And the back is shaped so the shirt stays flat when you sit rather than pulling out.
On leather that matters more than on cotton, because bunched leather inside a waistband creates a visible ridge that no amount of smoothing removes — and it creases permanently where cotton would recover.
The sharper collar
A pointed collar with a proper stand, cut so it rolls rather than lying flat against the chest. That construction is what lets the shirt look correct worn closed — a soft collar folded shut looks like a casual shirt done up, which is a different and less deliberate look.
The front is kept clean with no chest pockets, because a pocket on a fitted leather panel pulls visibly the moment it holds anything, and because a shirt meant to be worn under tailoring should not have anything interrupting the line.
Sizing, which runs opposite to normal
On most slim-fit clothing you can size down for a closer fit. Here you should not. The shaping comes from the pattern — shaped side seams, back darts, a sleeve drafted with a bent-arm curve — and sizing down removes the room that shaping needs to work in.
Take your normal shirt size. If you are between sizes, go up. And on a fitted shirt in a material with no ease, the free Custom option is genuinely the better choice — send chest, waist, neck, sleeve and back length after checkout.
Construction
High quality leather chosen thin and soft, which a close cut needs; a firm hide in a fitted shirt is rigid rather than tailored. A reinforced placket behind the fastenings — a close front takes more strain at the closure than a loose one, so this matters more here. Seams stitched close with fine thread and pressed flat.
Styling
Tucked into high-waisted trousers or a skirt with a belt is where this shirt is at its best. Under a blazer it replaces a silk shirt and adds texture. It also layers under a jacket without bulk, which a relaxed leather shirt cannot manage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from your casual slim leather shirt?
A sharper collar, a cleaner front, and a body cut to be tucked and worn closed rather than left open.
Should I size down for a closer fit?
No. The shaping is in the pattern — sizing down removes the room it needs. Take your normal size, or go up if between.
Can I tuck it in?
Yes, it is cut for it — less flare below the waist and a straight hem, so nothing bunches inside a waistband.
Why no chest pockets?
A pocket on a fitted leather panel pulls visibly when it holds anything, and it interrupts the line under tailoring.
Can I wear it under a blazer?
Yes. It layers without bulk, which a relaxed leather shirt does not.
Is the leather real?
Yes, high quality real leather, chosen thin and soft so a close cut is tailored rather than rigid.
How do I care for it?
Dry cloth only, hang rather than fold so the shoulders do not crease, condition twice a year. Never machine wash or dry clean.
