{"product_id":"mens-horse-leather-bikers-jacket","title":"Men's Horsehide Leather Biker Jacket | Black | UK","description":"\u003cp\u003eHorsehide is the connoisseur's leather jacket material, and it's rare enough on the high street that most people have never worn one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason it's prized: horsehide has a denser fibre structure than cowhide. It starts noticeably firmer — genuinely stiff for the first month — and then breaks in to something closer to armour that fits you. It also creases differently. Where cowhide softens evenly, horsehide develops sharp, defined folds at the elbows and waist that lighten with wear. That distinctive creasing pattern is exactly why Japanese repro brands have built a following around this leather, and why a well-worn horsehide jacket looks better at ten years old than it did new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you're buying into\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe clear-eyed about the trade-off. This is not a jacket that feels good in week one. It is heavy, it resists you, and it takes real wearing-in. What you get in return is a jacket that outlasts almost anything else in the wardrobe and gets more characterful the harder you use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want something soft and comfortable from day one, lambskin is the better choice. If you want something you'll still be wearing in twenty years, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain black, biker cut, in a clean Japanese-influenced style — restrained rather than heavily hardwared. Lined in acetate, which is smooth and slips easily over a jumper without dragging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural variation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorsehide varies more than most leathers. Grain, tone and surface marking differ across panels and between jackets. That's inherent to the material, not a fault, and it means yours won't be identical to the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in S, M, L, XL and 2XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are cut on Asian sizing, which runs roughly one to two sizes smaller than UK sizing — most UK customers should order at least one size up. Horsehide has effectively no stretch, considerably less than cowhide, so anything tight on arrival stays tight permanently. When in doubt, take the larger size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt this price we'd strongly rather advise you first.

Wipe with a barely damp cloth and let it dry naturally, well away from radiators. Condition it sparingly, once a year at most; over-conditioning softens the fibre and flattens the creasing that makes the leather distinctive. Hang it on a broad wooden hanger. Never machine wash or tumble dry it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CJ","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 2XL","offer_id":42378393780283,"sku":"CJZP154374905EV","price":421.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L","offer_id":42378393813051,"sku":"CJZP154374903CX","price":421.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ M","offer_id":42378393845819,"sku":"CJZP154374902BY","price":421.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S","offer_id":42378393878587,"sku":"CJZP154374901AZ","price":421.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL","offer_id":42378393911355,"sku":"CJZP154374904DW","price":421.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/9955\/9483\/files\/e4cd2d21-e3de-4035-a9bb-f6a59843137f.jpg?v=1760428223","url":"https:\/\/worldoftrendz.com\/en-gb\/products\/mens-horse-leather-bikers-jacket","provider":"World of Trendz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
