A standout offering from Jelado here in the form of their Winchester leather Jacket, inspired by those made popular in the 1970's. The 'Winchester' is inspired by the leather jackets famously produced by the East West Company in the 1970's. A clear shift in garment production and fashion from the 40's & 50's saw the introduction of the Hippie movement in the 60's, which ultimately led to a more fashion orientated design basis in 1970's California.
Norman Stubbs and David Warren created East West Musical Instruments Company in San Francisco, California in the late 60's where they they produced hand made objects including leather goods. They made leather jackets for artists such as Janis Joplin and Elvis Presley; two rock & roll greats.
Jelado have faithfully recreated a true leather jacket icon. Cut from a 1. 8mm-2mm thick Goatskin hide in Japan, the 'Winchester' features loads of details like those of the 70's. The goatskin leather used has plenty of character running through the grain and will only develop with wear.

Fully lined using a black cupra, the jacket has been finished with the distinctive leather patch - 'For Bohemians'. 100% Goatskin 100% Cupra lining Inspired by 1970's East West Leather Jackets manufactured by East West Musical Instruments Company 1.
