# Cruelty-Free Outerwear Raf by Raf Simons Wool Biker Jacket Looks Cool, Loves Animals By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-09-25 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raf-simons-wool-biker-jacket References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2009/09/24/raf-by-raf-simons-wool-biker-jacket/) & [rafsimons](http://www.rafsimons.com) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cruelty-free Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create innovative and stylish alternatives to leather. - **Sustainable Outerwear:** Potential for eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes in the outerwear industry. - **Animal-friendly Fashion:** Demand for clothing that is ethically made and does not use animal products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore alternatives to leather without sacrificing style and quality. - **Textile:** Textile industry can develop new eco-friendly fabrics suitable for outerwear. - **Apparel Manufacturing:** Apparel manufacturing companies can create innovative cruelty-free designs and production methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ethical Merino Wool Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-kite-jacket.md) - [Leather Motto Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-motto-jackets.md) - [Textured Alpaca Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boucl-alpaca-dropped-shoulder-aviator-jacket.md) - [Premium Outerwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-fallwinter-24.md) - [Fall-Ready Timeless Aviator Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviator-jacket-1.md) - [Architectural Leather Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-cassie-sb.md) - [Candle Brand Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rizon.md) - [Camel Hair-Made Sustainable Materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cameluxe.md) - [Elevated Cashmere Wool Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashmere-wool-coats.md)
