FAQs

Answers to the questions we're asked most often. If yours isn't here, we're always happy to help.

The Jackets

What types of jackets do you offer?

We specialise in vintage leather jackets from iconic eras, including WWII flight jackets, 1940s workwear, 1950s biker jackets and later twentieth-century styles. The collection includes horsehide, goatskin, steerhide and vegetable-tanned leather, each piece restored to preserve its history and craftsmanship.

Are the jackets wearable or for display only?

Unless otherwise stated, every jacket is fully wearable. Given their age they should be worn with care, and many pieces are also collectable and well suited to display or archival use.

Restoration & Condition

Are the jackets sold as found, or restored?

Every jacket is restored before sale to ensure longevity while keeping its original character. The work is carried out in-house, in our own workshop, and is specific to the jackets we curate and sell.

How are the jackets cleaned and prepared?

Each jacket goes through specialist cleaning and sympathetic restoration where needed. This can include structural repairs, hardware replacement and careful surface work to stabilise and present the leather while respecting its age and patina.

What condition are the jackets in?

Each listing gives a clear, honest description of the jacket's condition, including wear, patina and the character it has gained through age and use. Any restoration carried out before sale is noted in the listing.

Sizing & Fit

How do I choose the right size?

Every listing includes precise measurements taken with the jacket laid flat. The best way to check fit is to compare them with a jacket you already own and like the fit of.

Delivery & Returns

Where are you based, and do you ship internationally?

Our workshop is in the Calder Valley, in the South Pennines of England, and we ship worldwide. Every jacket is carefully packed so it arrives safely and in excellent condition.

Do you charge for UK delivery?

No. UK delivery is free on all orders.

Will I have to pay customs or import duties?

Duties and taxes for international orders are calculated at checkout, so there's nothing extra to pay when your jacket arrives.

Can I return a jacket if it doesn't fit?

Yes. Returns are accepted provided the jacket comes back in the same condition it was sent. Please see our returns policy for full details.

Can I spread the cost?

Yes. Klarna is available at checkout, letting you pay in instalments, subject to status.

Aftercare

How should I care for my jacket?

Store your jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Condition the leather from time to time to keep it supple. Our Workshop Blends are the same conditioners we use during restoration.
