Suede Bomber Jacket

About

A bomber cut from natural suede rather than a coating that imitates it — the nap is uneven in the light and the hide softens along the fold lines with wear instead of cracking. The shape is loose: a dropped shoulder, a full sleeve, a shirt collar that stands or falls as you leave it. A seam runs across the chest and the front closes with a concealed zip, so nothing interrupts the surface. Elastic gathers the hem and the cuffs, which is what gives the bomber its shape and keeps the wind out at the waist. Unlined and light for its warmth. It sits over a roll-neck through autumn and takes wide trousers and a straight skirt equally well.
