Questions, answered
Buying a garment that exists once raises different questions to buying off a shelf. These are the ones we are asked most.
Before you buy
Every listing carries five flat measurements taken across the garment: chest pit to pit, shoulder, sleeve, length and waist. Lay a jacket you already wear flat, measure it the same way, and compare the numbers rather than the label size. Vintage sizing moves by decade and by maker, so the tag is the least reliable guide.
If a measurement you need is not on the listing, ask and we will take it, usually the same working day.
No. These are genuine vintage and pre-owned leather garments, sourced worldwide and restored by hand. They are not reproductions and they are not branded goods sold on. What you are buying is the hide, the cut and the work that went into bringing it back.
Each jacket is bought as a single garment, in a single size, from dealers, estate sales and private sellers worldwide. There is no second one in the back. When a listing sells, the page goes dark and stays dark.
These are vintage garments. Expect patina: softening at the elbows, creasing at the cuffs, slight colour variation, occasional marks in the hide. That character is the point, and it is not a fault when it has been shown.
The photographs are shot under flat studio light and form part of the description, so what you see in them is what will arrive. If a jacket has an issue that the photographs would not obviously show, we will name it.
Delivery
Orders are processed and dispatched within 3 business days of payment unless the product page says otherwise. Orders placed at the weekend or on a public holiday are processed on the next business day. You receive confirmation and tracking details once the parcel leaves us.
United Kingdom: 1 to 5 business days after dispatch.
These are estimates from the courier, not guarantees. Peak periods can extend them.
Not at the moment. We deliver to addresses in the United Kingdom only, and we are not accepting international orders at this time.
Delivery within the United Kingdom is free on every order, sent tracked and insured. There is no minimum spend and no surcharge.
Returns and refunds
Yes. You have 14 days from receiving the item to tell us you want to cancel, and a further 14 days from that point to send it back.
The jacket must come back in the condition it arrived: unworn beyond reasonable inspection, free from new damage, stains, odours or alterations, with any original tags or packaging. Return postage is yours unless the item was faulty or wrongly supplied.
Tell us as soon as you reasonably can. You have at least 30 days from delivery to reject a faulty item for a full refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and your right to a repair or replacement runs well beyond that.
If the parcel itself arrived damaged, photographs of the packaging, the shipping label and the item sent within 48 hours help us claim against the courier. They are useful, not a condition of your refund.
Where an item is confirmed faulty, not as described or incorrectly supplied, you are entitled to a remedy under your statutory rights, which may be a repair, a replacement, a partial refund or a full refund. In those cases we cover reasonable return postage.
Within 14 days of us receiving the returned item, or of you providing proof that it was sent back. Original standard delivery charges are refunded where the law requires it. We may deduct from a refund where the item's value has been reduced by handling beyond what is needed to inspect it.
None of this affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law.
The team
We do, by hand. Cleaning, conditioning, stitching and hardware work are all done before a jacket goes anywhere near a listing. Every piece is then checked again at our UK office and photographed there.
