A dark brown faux leather jacket cropped to 19 inches, lined, with a buckle fastening the collar high at the throat.
Highlights
✓A buckle at the high neckline — the whole design sits at the collar, which is why the jacket looks deliberate done up and a little undone left open.
✓A polyurethane coating over a cotton-polyester backing — the look and the weight of leather with no hide to feed or condition, and a damp cloth is all the surface wants.
✓Fully lined in 100% polyester — it slides on over a knit or a long sleeve instead of dragging, which is what makes a coated jacket wearable in winter.
✓19 inches long on a size Small — a crop that finishes at the high waist, so it sits over a high-rise trouser, the matching skort or a dress.
✓Wipe it, never machine wash it — a coated finish stiffens and cracks in a hot drum. A damp cloth and a dry one keep the surface supple.
A faux leather crop is the layer that makes an ordinary outfit look considered, and the buckled collar is what separates this one from a plain moto. Keep what goes underneath simple and let the neck detail carry it.
It was cut as a set with the matching faux leather skort. For the same buckled neck in a longer, lighter jacket, the City in Motion capelet jacket runs 27 inches in taupe. More layers sit in coats and jackets.
