A particularly stylish The Kooples jacket cut from 100% lambskin soft suede with a characterful tonal depth. The muted tobacco brown works exceptionally well with denim and knitwear while the close cut gives the jacket the sharp silhouette associated with The Kooples. Western-inspired shoulder yokes combine with substantial exposed metal zips and adjustable waist tabs for a distinctive balance of rugged and refined detailing. A beautifully proportioned suede jacket with a noticeably slimmer fit than the labelled Medium might suggest and an excellent alternative to a conventional leather biker jacket.

Although labelled Medium, The Kooples sizing runs notably slim and the actual measurements are considerably more useful here. Based on the 20" pit-to-pit and 17.5" shoulders, I would regard this as approximately a UK 36 or 38 slim fit, rather than assuming it corresponds to a conventional modern Medium.
Please compare these measurements carefully with a similar jacket you already own and which fits you well, particularly across the chest and shoulders.
Condition
Very good pre-owned condition, with the natural tonal variation and changes in nap expected of genuine suede. The leather presents attractively overall and the metal hardware and detailing remain smart. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
