Denim Jacket
KARA Denim Jacket
£420.00
Size X-Small
Product Details
The KARA is a bold study in contrast — mid-blue denim reworked with leopard-print vegan leather lapels, rich red boucle panels, and hand-applied gold spike and dome studs. No two pieces are identical; the placement of each stud and the cut of each fabric panel is handled by hand in our London workshop.
- Materials: Upcycled denim base; leopard-print vegan leather; red boucle; acrylic paint detail; mixed patches
- Hardware: Gold spike studs and gold dome studs, hand-set individually
- Fastening: Button front
- Fit: Standard tailored fit; available in XS, S, M, L, XL — see size guide for chest and shoulder measurements
- Care: Dry clean only; spot-clean hardware with a dry cloth to preserve finish
Every Skinner & Vale jacket begins as a considered upcycling decision — sourced denim reworked into something that lasts a generation, not a season. Made in the UK.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the KARA fit — should I size up?
A: The KARA is cut to a standard tailored fit. If you prefer a more relaxed, layered look over knitwear, we suggest sizing up one. Check the size guide for exact chest and shoulder measurements before ordering.
Q: The boucle and vegan leather look delicate — how do I care for them?
A: Dry clean only. For day-to-day maintenance, wipe the vegan leather panels with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the colour of the boucle.
Q: Is this a made-to-order jacket or held in stock?
A: We hold limited stock across all sizes. Each jacket is individually finished, so minor variations in stud placement and fabric cut are part of the handcraft process — not defects.
