Description
This is a one-of-a-kind vintage leather jacket that has been transformed with hand-cut leather appliqué to express your weird side in extravagant form. Each piece begins as a vintage leather jacket in beautiful condition, carefully sourced for quality and character. I open the lining and sew leather on leather to create a custom collage on the back — no prints, no shortcuts, just pure material craftsmanship and my own imagination.
Features
This is a black leather jacket. Featured on the jacket back are multi color leather letters, carefully hand-cut and sewn on in the style of a ransom note. A bewildered skull is talking on a banana phone.
– 100% genuine vintage leather jacket in great condition
– Hand-crafted leather appliqué, sourced from upcycled or rest leather pieces
– Slow fashion process: restored, redesigned, and kept in circulation. My ethos is to use materials already in existence to create wearable art.
Details
This jacket is a lined, heavy piece. The leather is thick and robust but well kept and supple. The lining is soft and in good condition. It is a men’s size M but can also be worn oversized if you are smaller.
For reference: I am 170cm and a women’s size M.
Please pay special attention to to the measurements and email me for any questions!

NOTICE: Each jacket is a vintage leather jacket. I cannot source the same vintage jacket twice, so no two jackets will ever be the same. Since they are vintage, that means you can expect slight wear. This means the jacket lining might not be in perfect, unworn condition or the leather might have a scuff. These are part of the history of the jacket and do not impact quality in any way. My ethos is to use materials already in existence to create wearable art. In this vein, I honor the history of the jacket and its imperfections and I hope you will too.
