Overview
Inspired by Jimmy’s original leather jacket, this special Dean Edition reissue from Schott NYC revives signature details, celebrating the distinctive style that made this jacket a legend. The steerhide is top-grain, drum-dyed, and finished to shed wind and resist moisture, with a look that develops natural creasing and a rich patina with wear.
- Top-grain steerhide sourced from USA hides tanned in North America and drum-dyed with a garment finish for wind blockage and moisture resistance
- Heavy antique brass asymmetrical zipper with hand-laced leather pull and wide interior leather facing — blocks wind at the chest and neck
- Reinforced drop kidney back panel with five leather belt loops — the defining detail of the original CHP design
- Snap-down collar and lapels stay flat at speed, clean at rest
- Detachable snap in/off genuine mouton sheepskin collar
- Two diagonal front pockets with zipper closures
- Adjustable leather lacing at lower side gussets
- Large interior vertical pocket and snap closure
- Vented sleeve cuffs with metal zippers
- Heavyweight nylon twill lining
