The notched collar is tailoring — the same collar shape a blazer uses, with a step cut where the collar meets the lapel. The oblique zip is motorcycle — a front closure running diagonally rather than straight. Putting a tailoring collar on a biker closure is an unusual combination and it is what makes the jacket look considered rather than borrowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oblique front zip with notched collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry cloth, condition twice a year, keep away from direct heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a notched collar is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe notch is the small V-shaped step where the collar meets the lapel. On a blazer it is the standard construction; on leather it is rare, because the notch has to be cut and turned precisely or the two edges do not meet cleanly, and every needle hole in leather is permanent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effect is to soften the neckline. A biker jacket's fold-back lapel is one continuous piece and reads hard; a notched collar breaks that line and reads closer to a jacket you would wear to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe oblique zip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning the zip diagonally rather than straight up the centre does two things. It moves the closure off your centre line, which is more flattering than a straight vertical for most people. And it lets the top of the jacket fold open into the collar rather than closing at the throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zip is metal tooth on a reinforced tape, in a dark finish so it does not compete with the collar for attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the combination works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost leather jackets pick a lane: hard biker or soft fashion. This one takes the closure from one and the collar from the other, which gives you a jacket that reads smart from the neck up and slightly rebellious from the chest down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractically, that means it works in more situations than either a full biker or a plain fashion jacket — over a shirt with trousers, or with jeans and boots, without looking wrong in either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal leather in a weight chosen to hold a notched collar cleanly — too soft and the notch collapses, too heavy and it stands away from the neck. Double-stitched seams, reinforced at the shoulders. Interior pocket and a smooth lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular fit. Take your normal size over a shirt or fine knit, and size up to layer a jumper. Leather does not stretch, so the room has to be ordered in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a shirt with tailored trousers it is genuinely smart. With jeans and boots it comes down a register.
