Two details give this jacket its character, and both come from different places. The notched collar is tailoring — the same collar shape a blazer uses, with a step cut where the collar meets the lapel. The oblique zip is motorcycle — a front closure running diagonally rather than straight. Putting a tailoring collar on a biker closure is an unusual combination and it is what makes the jacket look considered rather than borrowed.
The notch is the small V-shaped step where the collar meets the lapel. On a blazer it is the standard construction; on leather it is rare, because the notch has to be cut and turned precisely or the two edges do not meet cleanly, and every needle hole in leather is permanent.
The effect is to soften the neckline. A biker jacket's fold-back lapel is one continuous piece and reads hard; a notched collar breaks that line and reads closer to a jacket you would wear to work.
Running the zip diagonally rather than straight up the centre does two things. It moves the closure off your centre line, which is more flattering than a straight vertical for most people. And it lets the top of the jacket fold open into the collar rather than closing at the throat.
The zip is metal tooth on a reinforced tape, in a dark finish so it does not compete with the collar for attention.
Most leather jackets pick a lane: hard biker or soft fashion. This one takes the closure from one and the collar from the other, which gives you a jacket that reads smart from the neck up and slightly rebellious from the chest down.
Practically, that means it works in more situations than either a full biker or a plain fashion jacket — over a shirt with trousers, or with jeans and boots, without looking wrong in either.
Real leather in a weight chosen to hold a notched collar cleanly — too soft and the notch collapses, too heavy and it stands away from the neck. Double-stitched seams, reinforced at the shoulders. Interior pocket and a smooth lining.
Regular fit. Take your normal size over a shirt or fine knit, and size up to layer a jumper. Leather does not stretch, so the room has to be ordered in.
Over a shirt with tailored trousers it is genuinely smart. With jeans and boots it comes down a register. See our Women Leather Jackets for other cuts, Women Bomber Leather Jackets for looser shapes, or Women Leather Shirts to wear underneath.

The V-shaped step where the collar meets the lapel, as on a blazer. It softens the neckline compared with a biker jacket's continuous fold-back lapel.
The notch has to be cut and turned precisely, and every needle hole in leather is permanent. There is no correcting it afterwards.
It runs diagonally rather than up the centre, which moves the closure off your centre line and lets the top fold open into the collar.
Both, which is the point. Smart from the neck up because of the collar, casual from the chest down because of the zip.
Yes, in a weight chosen so the notched collar holds its shape without standing away from the neck.
