{"product_id":"gerard-darel-leather-garment-dey17e009-brown","title":"Gerard Darel | Distressed Sheepskin Jacket - Hooded, Brown","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a lived-in ease to this jacket that no factory finish can fake. Gérard Darel builds it in sheepskin leather with a distressed, weathered surface — the kind of texture that looks as though it has already had a good few winters behind it, though it is entirely new. The brown colourway carries a subtle shimmer across the grain, catching light in a way that keeps the jacket from reading flat or purely utilitarian. It is a piece with presence: not polished, not precious, but confidently worn-in from the first wear.\n\nThe leather itself is plain and shiny rather than treated with heavy pebbling or embossing, so the surface interest comes from the distressed finish and the natural variation of the sheepskin rather than any applied pattern. That gives the hand of the material a certain softness — sheepskin drapes and moves more readily than a stiffer cowhide, which matters given how much volume this jacket carries. It sits with body rather than rigidity, following the shoulders and swinging slightly at the hem as you move.\n\nCut is where the jacket makes its real statement. Dropped shoulders extend the shoulder line beyond the natural seam, giving the sleeves a looser, more casual drop and softening the silhouette overall. The fit throughout is loose and generous — a straight shape with ample volume that skims rather than skims-and-clings, built for layering underneath as much as for wearing alone. A hooded collar replaces the traditional lapel, reinforcing the vintage, off-duty character of the piece, while long sleeves and a full zip closure keep it functional. Welt pockets at the hip are cut clean into the body of the jacket, adding storage without breaking the straight lines of the silhouette.\n\nIn movement, the jacket has a slouchy, unstructured quality — the ample volume and dropped shoulders mean it never fights the body, and the hood adds a hint of utility that keeps things from tipping into overly polished territory. This is a short jacket, so it sits at or above the hip, making it easy to wear over dresses, midi skirts or high-waisted trousers without disrupting proportion.\n\nRead as a modern take on a vintage biker or bomber hybrid, it belongs equally to the city and to off-duty weekends. Zip it fully for a clean, graphic line, or wear it open over a simple knit and jeans to let the shimmer and distressed texture do the talking. Pair with slim trousers to balance the volume up top, or let it sit over a flowing dress for contrast between structure and softness — either way, it reads as a wardrobe anchor rather than a seasonal add-on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERARD DAREL","offers":[{"title":"BROWN \/ T0","offer_id":41821148872837,"sku":"DEY17E009","price":5950.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BROWN \/ T1","offer_id":41821148905605,"sku":"DEY17E009","price":5950.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BROWN \/ T2","offer_id":41821148938373,"sku":"DEY17E009","price":5950.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BROWN \/ T3","offer_id":41821148971141,"sku":"DEY17E009","price":5950.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GERARD_DAREL-DEY17E009-BROWN-1.jpg?v=1787266796","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gerard-darel-leather-garment-dey17e009-brown","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
