Saint Laurent Revises the Moto Jacket With Burnished Leather
Pre-distressed in Italy.
Following this season’s court sneaker, Saint Laurent‘s Fall/Winter 2017 biker jacket is the latest item in the brand’s stable to receive a pre-distressed treatment.
With black leather biker jackets a staple of the brand, designer Anthony Vaccarello utilizes minute details to differentiate the seasonal items. This iteration’s unique characteristic is subtle burnishing along its seams; cognac detailing, wherein layers of dye are removed during the leather-working process, features around the jacket. In contrast to the worn-looking leather, the buttons and zippers boasting the brand’s stamped logo are a clean silver. Zippered pockets, epaulets and a slightly cropped fit make for an wearable take on Hedi Slimane‘s preferred style of leather jacket.
