This jacket is 80s power dressing in leather form — dramatic dolman sleeves sweep from a dropped, exaggerated shoulder line down to a fitted cuff, while vertical seams running the length of the body carve in structure rather than relying on bulk. The stand collar closes high with a button tab, echoed by epaulette straps at each shoulder, and self-covered buttons keep the front clean without breaking the black-on-black look. A gathered, elasticated hem cinches the volume back in at the waist, giving the shape its final, sculpted silhouette.
Full-grain black leather like this holds its structure well and only gets more supple with wear — keep it conditioned every season or two and it'll outlast almost anything else in the wardrobe. This is a jacket for anyone drawn to vintage precisely because of moments like this: silhouettes brave enough to prioritize shape over comfort, in construction you don't find anymore.
