Styling suggestions

We recommend wearing this moleskin jacket casually with a simple shirt and denim. To emphasize the vintage feel, pair it with faded jeans and work boots to create a unified look. Also, wearing a turtleneck underneath will give it a modern, urban look. Keep your accessories minimal with a watch or simple bracelet to accentuate the presence of the jacket.
