John Wick Brown Leather Jacket, Slim Fit Blouson

This is a slim fit brown leather blouson with a shirt collar, a plain front and the fullness gathered into the hem rather than left hanging. It is made in smooth genuine hide with a low sheen and a full lining, cut close through the chest and waist, in sizes S to 3XL.

The case for a jacket with nothing on it

Most leather jackets are trying to tell you something. Studs, epaulettes, quilted panels, contrast zips, a belt you will never fasten. This one has none of it, and the restraint is the entire design idea. The reason it works is that it stops being a leather jacket and starts being a jacket. You can wear it to dinner, to a meeting, to pick someone up from the airport, and nobody registers it as a statement. That is a narrow and useful category, and very few leather jackets sit in it.

Blouson, not bomber

The difference is the hem. A bomber uses a ribbed knit waistband and keeps a boxy shape. A blouson gathers the fabric into a plain hem so the silhouette tapers in toward the waist. The result reads slimmer through the body and considerably less casual. Because the front is flat and the collar is low, it also layers under a longer overcoat without bunching at the chest, which most leather jackets simply cannot do. If you already own a wool overcoat and want something to wear under it in deep winter, this is the piece in the range that will actually go under it.

A smooth finish shows more, and that cuts both ways

This hide is finished evenly, which means it stays crisp for years rather than looking beaten in after one season. It also means a deep scratch will be visible instead of disappearing into an already worn surface. Decide which you want before you order. If you like a jacket that improves as it gets knocked about, buy one of our distressed pieces instead. If you want something that still looks sharp in ten years, this is the one. Most surface marks lift out with conditioner and a soft cloth. Deep gouges do not.

Getting the size right

This runs slim. Take your usual size if you plan to wear it over a shirt or a thin tee. Go up one if you want a sweater underneath or you carry width through the middle. It is the piece in the catalogue where measuring genuinely matters, because the cut has no forgiveness in it. If you have a broad chest and a narrow waist, this shape flatters you more than anything else we make. If your chest and waist are closer in measurement, the brown bomber is a kinder silhouette and we would rather say so now than take the jacket back in a month.

Keeping it good

Condition twice a year. Wipe spills straight away with a dry cloth instead of leaving them to sit, because smooth leather takes a mark faster than a textured hide. Hang it on a broad hanger. A wire hanger will press a permanent dent into the shoulder of a slim cut jacket inside a month, and once the leather has set in that shape it does not come out.

Specification table

Garment measurements by size. Measured flat, in inches. These cells stay empty until you send production figures. Publishing a measurement that is wrong causes returns, so I have not guessed.

FAQ

Does this jacket run small?

It runs slim rather than small. Take your usual size for wear over a shirt or thin tee, and go up one size if you want a sweater underneath. Measuring a jacket you already own is more reliable than going by your shirt size.

What is the difference between a blouson and a bomber?

A blouson gathers the fabric into a plain hem so the shape tapers toward the waist. A bomber uses a ribbed knit waistband and holds a boxier line. This piece is cut as a blouson, which reads slimmer through the body.

Will it show scratches?

More than a distressed jacket, because the surface is smooth and evenly coloured. That is the trade for a jacket that stays sharp for years. Surface marks usually lift with conditioner and a soft cloth. Deep gouges will not.

Can I wear it somewhere formal?

It is the most dressed up piece in our range. Over a dark knit with tailored trousers it works for dinner or an evening out. It is not a replacement for a suit jacket, but it is a long way from a biker jacket.

Will it fit under a winter coat?

Yes, which is unusual for leather. The flat front and low collar mean it layers under a wool overcoat without bunching across the chest. Most leather jackets have too much hardware and collar bulk to do this.
