Let’s say you want all the coolness of a leather motorcycle jacket without the bad karma and guilty conscience of wearing leather. Raf by Raf Simons now has a wool biker jacket that will fill the void only a cool coat can fill.

Made out of a lana/lambswool mix, the Raf by Raf Simons wool biker jacket features heavy zippers and buckles, just the same as a leather one would have. Plus to keep you warm during the coming cooler weather, the jacket also has a quilted lining.
