Sustainable and ethical fashion retailer Everlane recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the new Modern Leather Jacket. The reinvented staple was inspired by vintage aesthetics and can fuses classic details such a pointed collar with contemporary details like minimal pipe detailing and a fitted waist.
The Modern Leather Jacket is made from premium, ultra-soft leather that is fully traceable, meaning Everlane can ensure all aspects of its supply chain have been vetted for sustainability and fair wages and working conditions. Moreover, Everlane believes in transparent pricing and details that the materials cost $127, the hardware cost $10, the labor was priced at $22 and transportation and duties cost $10. While a traditional retailer would price this garmet at $864, Everlane is charging consumers $368.
