{"product_id":"gerard-darel-leather-garment-dey35e009-black","title":"Gerard Darel | Cropped Sheepskin Jacket - Worn Black Finish","description":"\u003cp\u003eGérard Darel builds this jacket around a single idea: a short, straight silhouette with a lived-in, vintage finish that reads as though it has already earned its character. Cut close to the body and cropped at the hip, the jacket sits with a compact, structured presence, the kind of piece that anchors an outfit rather than disappearing into it. Its black finish carries a deliberately worn appearance, the leather looking softened and slightly faded in places, as if it has been through seasons already — a texture that gives the piece more depth than a flat, uniform black could offer.\n\nThe leather itself is smooth and plain, worked into a straight, unfussy shape that lets the details do the talking. This is sheepskin leather, prized for its supple hand and light, pliant weight, which makes the jacket easier to wear close to the body than heavier hide equivalents. It has enough body to hold its structure through the shoulders and collar, yet enough give to move naturally with the arms and torso, so the piece never feels stiff or armour-like.\n\nConstruction leans utilitarian-chic. A polo collar frames the neckline with a clean, structured line, while the front closes with round buttons covered in leather rather than exposed hardware — a quiet, considered detail that keeps the surface uninterrupted. Large flap pockets, each finished with a button, sit at the hip, paired with a piped pocket positioned just above for a layered, workwear-inspired arrangement. Long sleeves complete the shape, keeping the proportions balanced and the jacket practical for transitional weather.\n\nWorn open, the jacket has the loose, thrown-on ease of a favourite layer pulled from the back of the wardrobe; buttoned up, the polo collar and structured front give it a sharper, more composed line. The cropped length means it sits well over high-waisted trousers, tailored skirts or denim, and its straight cut avoids adding bulk, making it easy to layer over knitwear without overwhelming the silhouette. Movement is unrestricted through the shoulder and sleeve, so it reads as a jacket built to be lived in, not just displayed.\n\nIts vintage-inflected finish and black tone make it a genuine wardrobe workhorse: dressed up with tailoring for the office, or left open over a plain tee and trousers for something more relaxed. Style it with a silk scarf and ankle boots for an evening edit, or keep it simple with straight denim and a fine knit for daytime — the jacket's utilitarian details and worn character mean it holds its own without needing much else around it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERARD DAREL","offers":[{"title":"BLACK \/ T0","offer_id":41821149036677,"sku":"DEY35E009","price":5450.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ T1","offer_id":41821149069445,"sku":"DEY35E009","price":5450.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ T2","offer_id":41821149102213,"sku":"DEY35E009","price":5450.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GERARD_DAREL-DEY35E009-BLACK-1.jpg?v=1787266875","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gerard-darel-leather-garment-dey35e009-black","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
