The Highclere Leather Jacket — Allocation No. 106

Leather does not make a man look powerful. It reveals what was already there.

The Highclere is cut from premium top-layer cowhide — a full-grain leather with a rich, supple surface that carries the natural character of the hide rather than concealing it. The finish deepens with wear. The structure holds across years, not seasons. It is a jacket purchased once and passed forward.

The Construction

Premium top-layer cowhide — full-grain, naturally finished for a rich texture that develops with wear. A lapel collar proportioned for a clean, modern silhouette that reads neither overly casual nor formally constrained. Precision-stitched seams throughout. An internal structure that holds its shape without additional support. Available in Onyx Black and Dark Chocolate — both are correct; neither is louder than the other.

Archival Care

Wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth — never wet leather directly. Condition every two to three months with a premium leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent surface cracking. Hang on a wide, padded hanger — never fold. Keep from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the finish. If caught in rain, allow to dry naturally at room temperature, away from heat sources, then condition once dry.

A leather jacket maintained correctly does not age. It evolves.

Sizing

The Highclere is cut with a tailored silhouette — structured at the shoulder, clean through the torso. Take your standard jacket size. If between sizes, take the larger for ease of layering over a knit.
