The Dylan Leather Jacket
The Café Racer, Properly Done
The café racer silhouette has been a menswear staple for decades, and the Dylan earns its place in that lineage through the quality of its leather and the precision of its hardware. A grained leather upper with a natural, slightly distressed finish, a snap-tab mandarin collar, twin chest zip pockets, zip hip pockets, and panelled sleeves give it the layered detail of a jacket that has been thought through rather than simply assembled.

Refined Details
Grained Leather Upper – A naturally grained leather surface with a lightly worn, supple quality gives the jacket an immediate lived-in character that synthetic alternatives never quite replicate.
Snap-Tab Mandarin Collar – A structured mandarin collar with a snap-button tab closure sits close to the neck without the bulk of a lapel, keeping the jacket's neckline clean and purposeful.
Twin Chest Zip Pockets – Two angled zip pockets sit symmetrically across the chest, their gunmetal pulls adding hardware detail to the jacket's upper half without overcomplicating the silhouette.
Zip Hip Pockets – Two further zip pockets at the hip provide practical storage while maintaining the jacket's clean, uninterrupted lower body.
Panelled Sleeve Construction – Visible seam panelling across the shoulders and sleeves adds a tailored, constructed quality to the jacket's silhouette — a detail that separates it from more basic leather alternatives.

Effortless Versatility
Wear over a plain crewneck and dark denim for a straightforward, well-balanced casual look — as shown here — or layer over a plain shirt and slim chinos for a smarter register. The mandarin collar and grained leather carry the jacket into smart-casual territory with ease.
