This bolero top is made from genuine leather in an antique brown finish, designed as a cropped layering piece for steampunk and gothic costume outfits. The short cut and structured shoulders make it easy to wear over a blouse, corset or dress, adding a period leather accent without the weight of a full coat. Genuine leather gives this piece durability and a rich finish that develops character with wear, unlike a fabric bolero. It's a versatile addition for conventions, cosplay and photography, as well as everyday steampunk-inspired outfits. Because it's a fitted, cropped shape, please check our size guide before ordering to get the bust and shoulder fit right. It's an easy way to add a leather accent to an outfit without the commitment of a full coat, and it works equally well for events, photoshoots or everyday alternative wear. Made to measure is available if you'd like it tailored to your own measurements. Discover more in our women's costumes range.
