Jackets are the best part of autumn and H by Harris has brought breathed fresh air into this with their quilted leather jacket that has a build in backpack.

Made out of surprisingly high quality leather, the quilted leather jacket is all black and has hood to help protect you from the elements. The backpack part is held in place by a zipper that runs along the back. Certainly not a piece you would find everyday. Check out the gallery for some pictures of this handy jacket.
