Vintage Batwing Leather Coat
Another one for the archives of 80s leather at its most sculptural — dolman sleeves balloon out from the shoulder and taper sharply to a fitted cuff, while vertical leather straps run the length of the front like braces, framing the button placket rather than functioning as a closure. The pointed collar carries two slotted buttonholes as a purely decorative detail, a small flourish typical of the era's love of hardware for hardware's sake. Cut long, past the hip, with curved patch pockets low on the body, this reads more coat than jacket — roomy enough to layer chunky knitwear underneath.
The leather is smooth and holds a deep, even black without cracking or fading, a sign it's been kept indoors and out of direct light for most of its life. This is exactly the kind of piece that defines an era rather than following one — bold tailoring, oversized proportions, and details added simply because they looked good.
One of a kind. Once it's gone, it's gone.
