Leather
Leather, suede and shearling, from jackets and coats to boots and bags.
Leather clothes provide durable wind protection and sculptural weight, grounding everyday outfits through treated skins that soften with wear. Relaxed bombers and tailored coats balance matte black hides with grey wool knits, pairing dense skins with textured cotton to anchor loose proportions. Pilots wore sheepskin flying jackets in open cockpits, and in the seventies the Ramones made the black leather biker jacket a punk uniform in New York.
Guidi tans horse leather in Tuscany and dyes its boots after they are made. Mackage, founded in Montreal, works in leather, down and wool. Coperni is known for its Swipe bag, a curved leather bag named after a phone gesture. Sturdy boots, zip bombers and shearling collars pair naturally with raw denim or relaxed wool trousers.
Due West in Toronto carries leather and shearling jackets from Mackage and Moose Knuckles. WDLT117 adds Guidi boots, and Utopia adds Goyard and Louis Vuitton bags, many pre owned.
