JOHN ELLIOTT TEAMS WITH BLACKMEANS ON LEATHER JACKETS

by Stephen Garner

John Elliott and Blackmeans come together again for a special collaboration for the pre-fall 2019 season with a men’s offering, and for the first time, the addition of a women’s silhouette.

The leather Rider’s Jacket, an evergreen silhouette for Elliott, is reimagined using a specialty leather with a paint coated treatment. The unique finish changes with wear patterns, cracking to create a one-of-a-kind garment that will continue to evolve and change with personal wear.

The men’s and women’s styles are handcrafted in Japan and feature classic detailing – epaulets, shoulder gussets, zip pockets, a belted waistband, zip cuffs, and quilted lining.

The new collaborative styles, which retail for $2,200, are now available in blue and ivory through johnelliott.com and the John Elliott Melrose Flagship.
