The Brando pattern — asymmetric zip, wide fold-back lapels, belted waist — is normally built with silver or gunmetal hardware, which keeps it looking like the motorcycle jacket it descends from. Gold pulls it somewhere else entirely: warmer, richer, closer to glam than to biker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% genuine leather with gold-tone studs and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Short Brando biker cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asymmetric front zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with gold hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry cloth on the leather, buff the metal dry, never soak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Brando shape\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour details define it, and all four came from early motorcycle jackets. The zip sits off-centre and runs diagonally, which lets the top fold open into wide lapels instead of closing at the throat. There is a belt at the hem that buckles at the side. The collar has a snap-down tab. And the pockets and cuffs are zipped rather than open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a short cut like this the belted waist actually shapes the jacket rather than bunching it, which is why the Brando works as a womens pattern despite starting as a mens one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGold rather than silver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver studs and zips read punk — hard, cold, aggressive. Gold reads warm. On the same black hide, changing only the hardware tone shifts the whole jacket from something you wear to a gig to something you wear to dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold hardware is plated, as all gold-tone fittings are, and like any plating it will show wear at the highest-contact points over years — the zip pull, the belt buckle, the collar snap. Buffing the metal dry after damp weather is what slows that down. Silver-hardware versions are in our Women Studded Leather Jackets range if you prefer them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe stud work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStuds are set by hand through the hide and closed against a backing washer on the reverse, so the prongs bear on metal rather than sawing into the leather as the jacket flexes. That washer is what a machine-pressed jacket leaves out, and it is why cheap studded jackets shed hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe studs are concentrated on the shoulders and lapels, which keeps the weight manageable and stops them competing with the belt and zips lower down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort Brando cut ending at the natural waist. Take your normal size over a tee or thin knit. Studded panels have very little give, so size up if you plan to layer. The belt gives a small amount of adjustment either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack jeans or leather trousers, boots, a plain top. With gold hardware the jacket pairs better with cream, camel and warm tones than a silver-hardware jacket does.
