This black jacket is a genuine leather Victorian military-style piece, handmade for burlesque, steampunk and gothic costume wear. The structured cut, fitted waist and military detailing suit stage performance, conventions and cosplay events where a strong silhouette is needed. Real leather gives the jacket body and durability that fabric costume pieces can't match, making it a long-lasting addition to a steampunk or gothic wardrobe rather than a one-event outfit. It layers comfortably over shirts, waistcoats or corsetry, and the leather softens with wear for a better fit over time. As with all our fitted leather jackets, we recommend checking our size guide before ordering, since a snug fit through the shoulders and waist is part of the design. The stitching and hardware are finished to the same standard as our other leather workshop pieces, so the jacket holds up to regular convention travel, storage and repeated wear across many seasons rather than wearing out after one outing. Made to measure options are available for a more precise, personal fit. Browse more styles in our women's costumes range.
