This takes an [iconic workwear silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carhartt-wip-icons-ss26) and updates it with a leather construction of black cowhide. The sleek change of route comes with four pockets and a snap button closure at the arm holes and placket. Notably, these snap buttons are also branded and the entire look is complete with a matte finish. The leather material perfectly fuses luxury with utility. The jacket is lined entirely for ultimate comfort and has a boxy fit. Rounding out the design are some flap pockets at the chest and anatomical seams at the wrist.
