Mint Green Leather Country Down Jacket — Double Goose

An AWAKE NY Collaboration Reimagines the Classic Country Down Silhouette in Mint Green

Most leather outerwear plays it safe with color. This one doesn't — a vibrant mint green chrome-tanned calfskin shell, straight horizontal quilt panels instead of the diagonal chevron cut most puffer jackets default to, and a black-and-white striped viscose lining that shows the second you unzip it. The "AWAKE" script is genuinely embossed into the hide itself in two places on the chest — not a patch, not a printed logo — confirming this as a real collaboration piece, with the interior neckline tag reading "AWAKE NY / Double Goose" to match. This is Double Goose | The original down leather jacket, done in a colorway built to be noticed rather than blend in.

The Chrome Tan Behind This Mint Tone

Getting a true, saturated mint on calfskin without the color reading washed-out or plasticky takes a different chrome-tanning approach than a standard black or brown hide — the leather is tanned specifically to hold pigment evenly across a 1.2mm shell, which is thicker than the leather used on most of our slimmer jacket styles and part of why this piece holds its structured shape.

Straight Lines, Not Chevrons

The horizontal quilt panels running across the body and sleeves are a deliberate departure from the V-shaped chevron cut most people associate with this brand — it's the same "Country Down" profile that predates the chevron silhouette entirely. If a longer version of this exact straight-quilt construction appeals to you more than a jacket length, our straight-quilted coat option carries the same panel logic over more coverage.

Two Brand Marks, One Chest Panel

The chest carries the "AWAKE" script embossed directly into the leather in two places — a smaller mark near the top by the zipper, and a larger cursive version lower on the panel — both pressed into the hide itself rather than printed or stitched on. The yellow woven "Double Goose" side tab sits near the left pocket as usual, and the interior neckline tag confirms the pairing with "AWAKE NY" stacked over "Double Goose." The detachable black shearling collar sits over a clean stand-up leather base, so all of it stays visible whether the collar's attached or not.

How the Elastic Hem Changes the Fit

A fully elasticated leather waist hem and matching cuffs seal in warmth the way a drawcord coat can't quite match, but it also means this jacket fits closer and truer to size than our longer, drawcord-adjustable coats. Line up your chest and sleeve length against the numbers on our sizing resource before ordering, particularly if you're planning on layering a hoodie underneath through winter.

Looking After a Statement Color

Bright, chrome-tanned leather in a color like this benefits from a little more attention than a standard black piece — keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight so the tone doesn't shift, and wipe off any contact with darker fabrics while damp to avoid transfer staining. For the full cleaning and conditioning routine, our leather jacket care guide walks through it step by step, and if you want the background on how this whole silhouette became a recognizable name in streetwear circles, this piece on its origins covers that separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions before ordering this colorway:

Will the mint green shade fade or dull with regular wear?
The color is set during chrome tanning rather than applied as a surface coating, so it holds up well under normal use, though like any bright leather it should stay out of prolonged direct sunlight to keep the tone from shifting over years of wear.

What's actually different about straight quilting versus the chevron pattern?
Straight horizontal panels run across the body in even rows rather than angled V-shapes — it's an older "Country Down" construction style that predates the chevron cut, and it holds insulation just as effectively while giving a cleaner, more uniform look front to back.

Is the AWAKE branding a printed logo or part of the leather itself?
It's embossed directly into the chest panel in two places, meaning it's pressed into the leather's surface rather than printed or stitched on — the interior neckline tag also carries "AWAKE NY" alongside "Double Goose" to confirm the collaboration.

Can the black shearling collar be worn with other jackets in the lineup?
It's built specifically for this collar base and isn't designed as a universal swap across different jacket styles, though it does detach cleanly for storage or cleaning independent of the jacket itself.

Why is the interior lining striped instead of a plain solid color?
It's a deliberate design choice tied to this release — the black-and-white stripe gives the interior its own identity when the jacket's unzipped or the cuffs are rolled, rather than treating the lining as purely functional.
