How does the fit run - true to size or should I size up?

The jacket is cut with a regular fit through the body. It sits close across the chest due to the double-breasted front but is not restrictive. The leather will relax slightly through the shoulders after a few wears. If you plan to layer over thick sweaters, consider sizing up; otherwise, order your usual size.

Will the distressed finish wear off or fade over time?

The distressed finish is applied by hand-rubbing the leather to create tonal variation in the hide itself, not a surface coating. It will not wear off. Instead, the jacket will continue to develop patina - new scratches and scuffs blend into the existing finish rather than appearing as fresh damage.

Can I wear this jacket in light rain?

Brief exposure to light rain is fine, but prolonged water contact can darken the leather and stiffen it as it dries. If the jacket gets wet, blot the surface immediately with a dry cloth and air-dry flat away from direct heat. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore suppleness.

What's the difference between this and a standard brown leather jacket?

The distressed finish and double-breasted military silhouette. Most brown leather jackets have a uniform surface and a single-zip or single-breasted front. This jacket's hand-rubbed finish creates deliberate grain variation and tonal shifts, and the four-button double-breasted closure is borrowed from vintage military field jackets.

How do I care for the antique brass hardware?

The antique brass buckles will develop a natural patina over time. To maintain the finish, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid metal polishes, which can strip the antiqued coating. If the buckles tarnish unevenly, a jeweler's cloth will restore a consistent tone.

The distressed brown leather jacket is a double-breasted military-inspired silhouette cut from genuine leather with a hand-rubbed antiqued finish. The stand collar fastens with a buckled throat strap - a detail borrowed from vintage aviator jackets. Tonal contrast stitching traces every seam, and the leather's surface shows deliberate grain variation that deepens as it ages. Antique brass hardware at the waist belt and cuff straps anchors the silhouette without adding visual weight.
