The Rugged Rider Special Edition is a jacket like no other. The heart of this piece lies in its exceptional leather - our limited edition 3.5oz, 1.4mm steerhide.

We dedicated ourselves to working closely with our tannery to recreate a steerhide with all the attributes of the legendary leathers from the 1940s and ‘50s - something I hadn’t seen on the market in decades. It was a long and meticulous process, but the result is nothing short of exceptional. This hide has an extraordinary texture, a rich, deep grain that’s beautifully non-uniform, and a natural shine that sets it apart. It’s supple yet structured, with just the right amount of initial stiffness that will break in and mould to the wearer over time, developing stunning creases and a patina that only gets better with time and wear.

Staying true to its vintage roots, the Rugged Rider Special Edition draws inspiration from the classic 1940s D-Pocket design. The jacket features solid brass YKK ball and chain hardware and is lined with a premium camel cotton drill.
