Womens Notch V-Neck Tab Sleeve Button Leather Shirt

Womens Notch V-Neck Tab Sleeve Button Leather Shirt

Two details set this apart from a standard leather shirt. The notch V-neck drops the collar into a V rather than closing high at the throat, which opens up the neckline and suits far more people than a buttoned-to-the-top shirt does. And the tab sleeves let you roll the sleeve and fasten it in place, which on leather is genuinely useful because leather does not stay rolled the way cotton does.

Why sleeve tabs matter on leather

Roll a cotton sleeve and it stays. Roll a leather sleeve and it slowly unrolls over the next twenty minutes, because leather has memory and wants to return to the shape it was cut in.

A sleeve tab solves that: a strap on the inside of the sleeve that buttons over the rolled cuff and holds it. It is a small piece of hardware that turns a full-sleeve shirt into a three-quarter one whenever you want, and it is the reason this shirt works in warmer weather where a fixed-cuff leather shirt does not.

The notch V-neck

The collar sits in a V rather than a high closed neckline. On leather that matters more than on cotton, because a leather collar has more presence — a high one frames the face closely and can feel severe, where a V opens the chest and softens the whole shirt.

It also means the shirt layers under a jacket without two collars competing at the neck, which is the usual awkwardness of wearing a leather shirt under a leather jacket.

Construction

A reinforced placket behind the buttonholes — buttonholes in leather are the first thing to fail on a badly made shirt, since a hole in hide has no stretch and stresses at the same point every time you fasten it. The tabs are set through reinforced points for the same reason.

Seams are pressed flat so nothing ridges under a jacket, and the leather is chosen thin and soft enough that a shirt pattern's small curves turn cleanly.

Fit and styling

Regular shirt fit. Take your normal shirt size. Leather has no ease, so a snug shirt in leather feels snugger than the same measurement in cotton — if in doubt, size up or take the free Custom option.

Tucked into tailored trousers with the sleeves rolled it is smart-casual. Untucked over jeans it is relaxed. See the rest of our Women Leather Shirts, or Women Leather Jackets to wear over it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are sleeve tabs for?

They button over a rolled sleeve to hold it in place. Leather has memory and unrolls on its own, so a tab is what makes a rolled sleeve stay rolled.

Is this real leather?

Yes, real leather, chosen thin and soft enough for a shirt pattern's small curves to turn cleanly.

Why a V-neck rather than a high collar?

A leather collar has more presence than a cotton one. A V opens the chest and layers under a jacket without two collars competing at the neck.

Will the buttonholes stretch?

The placket is reinforced behind them, which is what prevents it. Buttonholes are where a badly made leather shirt fails first.

Can I wear it in warm weather?

With the sleeves rolled and tabbed, yes. That is what the tabs are for.

What size should I order?

Your normal shirt size, sizing up if in doubt since leather has no ease. Custom sizing is free.

How do I care for it?

Dry cloth only, hang rather than fold, condition twice a year. Never machine wash or dry clean.
