Frequently asked questions

What does distressed leather mean — is it damaged?

Distressed leather is intentionally finished with a textured, worn-in surface that gives the jacket immediate vintage character from the first wear. It is not damage — it is a premium finishing technique that produces the aged look without years of break-in time.

What is a mandarin collar and how does it fasten?

A mandarin collar is a short, stand-up collar with no lapels — it frames the neck cleanly without folding down. On this jacket it fastens with snap buttons for a secure, streamlined closure that is classic cafe racer styling.

What measurements do I need to provide?

Chest, waist, shoulder width, sleeve length, and jacket length. See our Leather Jacket Size Guide or contact us before ordering for help.

Is this made to order?

Yes. Every jacket ships free worldwide and is handcrafted to your exact measurements.
