Terracotta Leather Jacket

Terracotta Leather Jacket

Most leather jackets in a rust or brown family stop at plain brown. The Terracotta Leather Jacket picks a warmer, more reddish shade instead. The shell uses smooth leather rather than suede, with a soft matte finish rather than a glossy one. A snap-button stand collar closes at the neck. Additionally, a full front zipper runs the closure from hem to collar. Two zip pockets sit high on the chest, while two open hand pockets sit lower at the waist.

Raglan-style seams run from the collar down into each sleeve rather than sitting at the shoulder edge. As a result, the arms move with less pull across the back than a set-in sleeve allows. The body sits close through the torso without extra fabric bunching at the waist. Furthermore, the sleeves run straight to the cuff with no ribbed trim. Inside, a smooth lining lets the arms slide in without catching on the leather. Weight-wise, the jacket sits on the lighter side, suited to layering over a shirt or tee.

Warmer leather tones like this one work best against neutral, everyday clothing rather than another bold color. The Terracotta Leather Jacket pairs easily with a plain white tee and jeans for that reason. Specifically, the raglan seams keep the shoulders smooth even with a shirt layered underneath. Off a casual outfit, the same jacket layers over a graphic tee for a slightly sharper look. For instance, it works with light denim for daytime wear or dark denim for evening. The open hand pockets also make it easy to warm hands without unzipping the jacket.

Leather and Kids stocks this jacket for buyers who want a leather jacket in an unusual, warmer shade rather than standard black or brown. The raglan sleeve construction and open hand pockets set it apart from the zip-pocket moto styles in the rest of the range.

Why are the sleeves raglan instead of set-in?
Raglan seams run to the collar rather than stopping at the shoulder, which allows a wider range of arm movement. This construction also reduces bulk across the upper back compared to a set-in sleeve.

Are the waist pockets zippered like the chest ones?
No — the waist pockets are open hand pockets rather than zip pockets. Only the two chest pockets use a zip closure, while the lower pockets stay open for quick access.
