Transformative Leather Jacket

Character Study

Found: in the back of the hall closet, never to return there.

Revived: the simple fact that a jacket has the  power to transform a man into a myriad of characters. To turn his focus to other things, to do them better and to look better doing them.

Frees the cerebral cortex to fine-tune your proposal for the investors, with a few billion neurons to spare. Fills the long pause when you want the suits on the other side of the negotiating table to make the first offer. (Always.)

If you’re not an architect already, you might find yourself scratching out a design on a bar napkin for a four-level cliff house. Miles of glass and fieldstone.

Maybe you'll even free your original 1964 Strat from its case and think about getting the band back together.

Do you see a pattern starting to emerge?

Transformative Leather Jacket (No. 7325). The perfect autumnal cocktail party jacket, based in spirit on its confident, edgy predecessors from the '70s. Slim fit two-button leather blazer in lightweight, luxurious goat leather, with a smooth hand feel and a subtle sheen. Feels comfortably broken-in from the moment you slip it on. Throat latch for shutting out the weather. Suede elbow patches lend a preppy vibe to an otherwise un-preppy style. Double vent back. Pick stitch detailing. Body is half-lined in cotton for a better fit. Poly lining in sleeves. Horn buttons at center front, throat latch, and sleeves. Two waist pockets, one chest pocket. Imported.
