Medium weight, so it works from spring through autumn rather than only in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 1.3 mm the leather has enough body to hold the jacket's shape without the weight of a heavy winter shell. It is the thickness that lets a slim cut stay slim instead of sagging at the shoulders after a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% cowhide leather, 1.3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% acetate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollar:\u003c\/strong\u003e fine wire detail, so it holds the shape you set it to\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeves:\u003c\/strong\u003e articulated with elbow corrugation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuffs:\u003c\/strong\u003e zipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePockets:\u003c\/strong\u003e single chest zip outside, snap flap hand pockets, one interior pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize M Measurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104–106 cm \/ 41–41.7 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92–94 cm \/ 36.2–37 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder to shoulder:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47–48 cm \/ 18.5–18.9 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64–65 cm \/ 25.2–25.6 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket length from collar:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64–66 cm \/ 25.2–26 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended wearer weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72–80 kg \/ 158–176 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe wire collar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fine wire runs through the collar, so you can set it flat, popped, or turned however you want it and it stays there.

Cotton breathes where synthetic linings trap heat, which matters on a slim jacket worn close to the body.
