A racer jacket cut close to the body, with a short stand collar and no lapel, so the line stays clean from the shoulder down. It's made in Italy in vegan leather with a pebble grain, soft in the hand with a low sheen that catches the light along the seams. Panelled seaming runs through the front and across the shoulders, which is what shapes it in at the waist.
The front fastens with a single zip, and there's a popper at the throat to close the collar. The cuffs have poppers too, and there's a zip at the wrist so the sleeve can open over a knit. Two zipped pockets sit at the front with cotton linings, and there's a slip pocket inside. The whole jacket is lined in Italian-made viscose, so it goes on over a knit or a shirt without dragging.
Wear it over a white tee with dark skinny or straight jeans and ankle boots, or over a roll-neck with tailored trousers and loafers when you want it sharper. It also works over a midi dress with boots, the short cut keeping the waist defined. It's a jacket with a strong enough shape to lead, so keep what's underneath simple.
