Description:

With premium cowhide leather at its core, the Merlin - Hixon II D3O Black Jacket delivers a riding jacket that only looks better with age.

It comes together with a structured collar, a zip front with snap storm flap, pre-fitted D3O shoulder and elbow protectors, a back protector pocket, and side entry pockets with leather pull tabs. A full removable quilted thermal lining lets it pull on smoothly over knitwear. The 1.2–1.3mm naked cowhide is dense but supple. The leather is supple from the first wear and eases further as you break it in.

Nothing about it feels rushed, from the collar roll to the way the hem finishes. Seams are reinforced at the stress points so the shape holds wear after wear. Every closure lands where your hand expects it, which is what makes it easy to live in. Proportions are considered, sitting close through the body without pulling when you move.

The cut is relaxed enough to layer yet trim enough to look deliberate. Treated well, the leather takes on a lived-in patina that becomes your own.
