How does the slim fit run - should I size up?

The jacket is cut close to the body through the chest, waist, and sleeves. It's designed to fit over a t-shirt or thin knit without excess fabric. If you plan to layer over thicker sweaters or prefer more room across the shoulders, we recommend sizing up. Check the size guide measurements against a jacket you already own.

Can this jacket get wet, or will it stain?

Light rain won't damage the leather, but prolonged exposure can darken the finish and stiffen the hide. If it gets wet, blot the surface with a towel and let it air-dry at room temperature - never use a hairdryer or radiator. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore suppleness.

Will the purple color fade over time?

The leather is drum-dyed, meaning the color penetrates the hide rather than sitting on the surface. It will develop a subtle patina with wear - high-contact areas like the elbows and collar may lighten slightly, but the overall tone remains stable. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can accelerate fading.

Does the stand collar feel restrictive?

No. The collar is cut to sit against the neck without pressing into the throat. There's an internal tab that secures the zip at the top, and the collar height is low enough to allow full head rotation. If you prefer a more open neckline, leave the zip undone below the collarbone.

What's the difference between this and a biker jacket?

This is a racer-style jacket - it has a stand collar, centre-front zip, and minimal hardware. A biker jacket typically features an asymmetric zip, lapels, belt, and multiple zipped pockets. The racer silhouette is cleaner and less structured, making it easier to layer and more versatile across casual and smart-casual contexts.

The Purple Stand-Collar Racer is a slim fit leather jacket cut from smooth-finish leather in a deep aubergine hue. The stand collar and centre-front zip create a clean vertical line that elongates the torso without adding bulk. Tonal stitching traces the shoulder seams and panel joins, and the leather's matte surface catches light without glare. This is a body-skimming silhouette - it follows the frame rather than draping away from it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This is a genuine leather jacket with a smooth, matte finish. The hide has been chrome-tanned and drum-dyed to achieve the deep purple color, then lightly buffed for an even surface texture.
