Boncoura Water Resistant Suede Type I Jacket - Black
$2,050.00
Boncoura's black suede Type 1 is made from "Lotus" suede, their proprietary leather developed in close collaboration with specialist tanneries in Japan. High-quality hides are carefully selected, then processed using a specialized tanning method designed to preserve the exceptionally soft hand and refined nap of the suede while building water resistance directly into the leather rather than relying on a surface coating.
Lotus suede takes its name from the way water beads and rolls across its surface, similar to droplets on a lotus leaf. The leather is less prone to water staining, color bleeding, and color transfer while retaining the natural softness, texture, and character of untreated suede. With wear, creasing develops across the arms and elbows, while high-friction areas gradually change in nap, tone, and appearance.
The jacket itself is based on Boncoura's Type 1 denim jacket, but the proportions were completely reconsidered to account for the thickness and drape of leather. The jacket is finished with a flapless chest pocket, a five-button front, T-back construction, and Boncoura's original metal hardware.
