Sheepskin is a natural and durable fabric made to withstand the elements, which makes it a popular material for winter clothing. And with winter fast approaching, it’s time to start arranging your winter wardrobe. If you are in the market for a real sheepskin coat to keep you warm in these upcoming months, then look no further than…
The leather bomber jacket; a consummate staple in menswear as much as in history, and the embodiment of cool, laidback outerwear. The bomber jacket dates back to World War I, where its every feature was conceived of pure necessity. As most aircraft cockpits were unheated and unenclosed, and with the extreme altitude, breakneck speeds, and…
In the wake of our recent collaboration with The Rake Magazine, we wanted to talk a bit more about the man of the hour, and one of our favourite leather jackets for men; the Cromford Leather Company Hoffman field jacket. This is unashamedly a favourite piece of ours from the collection, and one of our…
We invariably have people asking us – as a self professed leather specialist – how they should be cleaning their leather belongings. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to be able to help, and can give you a standardised response of what we do with ours, but admittedly this is not my area. There are…

Last year The Rake launched their very own meticulously curated online atelier, with the goal to showcase and collaborate with some…
If you’ve ever visited our humble little leather shop at 56 Chiltern Street, you’re unlikely to have been released without a cross-examination of your bag/coat/shoes/insert-beautiful-item-of-clothing-here in the distinctly charismatic Yorkshirian manner of our commander in chief, and in my opinion the most talented leather jacket tailor in London; Pauline Harris. Whether you have or have not…
Now that I’ve got your attention I’d like to take this opportunity to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about our alterations service and leather jacket alterations in London in general. It’s not particularly dangerous to be honest (unless we’re hungry and holding sharp things). That was a lie, for which I apologise, but you probably…
At the end of last year I got to know the new owners of the General Leather Company on Chiltern Street – now renamed Cromford Leather. This was exciting because they not only make leather and suede jackets on the premises, but undertake leather jacket alterations for brands and for private customers. I’ve wanted to…
