A Perfect Leather Jacket

A leather jacket is such a wonderful wardrobe staple. Even if though they are only two season pieces here in Connecticut, I've still amassed a small collection, as a great leather jacket can be a truly transformative piece.

When The Jacket Maker reached out to me about creating my own bespoke leather jacket, I was delighted at the prospect. I scoured my Pinterest feed and made notes of all my favorite jackets and the details which I loved, then I emailed my contact some reference images as well as a description of my dream jacket. After a little correspondence to nail down the small details, I provided my measurements, and then I waited. After about four months I finally received an email with photos of my finished jacket, and I couldn't believe how gorgeous it looked!

Now I finally have my dream leather jacket in my closet, and I'm very impressed with the level of detail found on the piece; the zippered side pockets are nice and deep, there is an inside pocket as well, and I love how the small quilted section came out.

I would definitely work with The Jacket Maker again, it's so amazing to see a piece I'd imagined come to life!

  11. I love your outfit Lydia! Seems like Connecticut is a lot like Belgium when it comes to the weather. I can only wear my leather jacket in spring and fall too! It's a shame, because much like you, I really love to wear mine. Hope you can get the most out of your collection before summer rolls around, hah!

  16. Clothing should change often with new ones to change the attitude of the man, the new spring season predisposes to buy new clothes and shoes.

  18. A good leather jacket is the wardrobe essential, as far as I'm concerned. I just pulled mine out for the first time this weekend and being able to wear it instead of a coat was just so satisfying. It doesn't seem to matter what you wear it with, they really go with everything and make a look just that much better. I often pair mine with white and grey so naturally, I think you've got this look spot on - but I also can't wait to see you restyle the jacket with the floral prints you love and wear so well.
