No leather jacket ages quite like a Fine Creek. Their custom Shinki horsehide starts with a jet-black finish over an earthy teacore foundation. Slowly and naturally veg-tanned, this leather develops incredible depth and character over time. In-house sewing techniques create tension at key seams, producing natural puckering as it wears in. The result? A jacket that ages with unmistakable personality—no two are alike.
These horsehide jackets start out stiff, but break in fast. After just a bit of wear, you’ll have a jacket that fits like nothing else—a true lifetime piece.
The Richmond is based on the Levi’s Type I silhouette. Laurel wreath buttons, knife pleats, and a cinch-back belt all remain, but the fit has been refined for a cleaner, slimmer profile.
Elliot wears a size 42 jacket. He is 185cm tall and weighs 74kg / 6ft 1" and 163 lbs.
