A LEATHER EDGE
Studded Leather Vest Sweater
“Cotton/cashmere black knit cardigan sweater with front fully studded leather piecing at chest. Double layered ribbing at hem with one side hanging loose for that “I just got into a fight” look. 85% cotton, 15% cashmere Piecing: 100% leather.”
The studded leather portion of this sweater is a hard look to pull off, but an interesting look nonetheless. I love how it takes the preppy sense of the cardigan and crosses it with the rebellious edge of a biker.
Goodland Jacket
“Black varsity style jacket with a heavy wool exterior and debatable leather sleeves. snap closures and zippered front welt hand warming pockets. Ribbed trim at cuffs and hem. Fully lined. Shell: 80% wool, 20% nylon. Lining: 100% polyester. Sleeves: 100% leather.”
Interestingly enough it is the back profile of this jacket that caught my eye. On most occasions, I have a great distaste for epaulets; they normally look really forced, but somehow they work here and balance out a really interesting jacket that turns into a vest. 2 for the price of 1! But, please none of those convertible shorts/pants.
