2nd Academic Made To Order Huey Leather Car Coat Black
MADE TO ORDER
Car Coats are distinguished by their typically sophisticated design, featuring a simple construction that makes the style both adaptable and comfortable to wear, and this specific example is no exception. The garment reflects the evolution of automobile design as it was in the 1930s, a time when car ownership was a marker of status, similar to the black leather car coat.However, in the 1960s, as worn by Huey P. Newton and other members of his party, the black leather car coat became a prominent and visually impactful component of their uniform. While this uniform garnered public attention, it served a function beyond mere fashion; it was a deliberate and symbolic choice for individuals who aimed to challenge and contest the norms established by the elite.
Crafted from black buffalo leather this jacket has been meticulously recreated, with careful attention given to vintage models .The jacket features adjustable tabs at the cuffs and waist for a customisable fit.
2nd Academic leather jackets are not designed to be fitted like a suit; rather, after a period of 'breaking in,' they soften and adapt to the shape of your body. Our jackets are crafted for actual use. We do not run a production line or keep a stock of jackets ready for dispatch; each jacket is made to order and meticulously handcrafted.
