- Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
- No. It is a light suede layer suited to mild days in spring and autumn. In cold weather you would need a coat over it, and the puff sleeves make that awkward.
- How does suede compare with leather here?
- Suede is softer and more matte than leather, so it looks less edgy and more polished. It is also more prone to water marks and stains, so treat it with a protector spray.
- Does the puff sleeve run true to size?
- The body is cut close, but the sleeves are voluminous. If you have broad shoulders or want room for a knit underneath, consider sizing up.
- Can it be machine washed?
- No. Suede should be spot cleaned and taken to a specialist leather cleaner. Store it on a wide hanger away from direct sunlight.
- What does the mandarin collar do?
- It sits high at the neck and gives a clean, structured line when buttoned up. Leave the top buttons open for a more relaxed look.
- What can I wear it with?
- It works over a fine knit or blouse with high-waisted jeans, or over a slip dress. Keep the layer underneath thin so the sleeves sit properly.
