Jakett

Jakett is an American leather jacket label for women, founded in New York City in 2008 by designer Joseph Greco. It grew out of an obsessive search for the perfect completer piece: an effortless leather jacket that feels as natural as a second skin. The brand designs for a woman who is comfortable, confident and loves "classic cool", embracing the perfectly imperfect look of a distressed leather jacket. Jakett's jackets are produced unlined so the softness of the natural skins shines through, and the brand says they wear like a favourite sweatshirt. Styles include the Adriana Vintage Leather Jacket, the Alexa Burnished Leather Jacket, the Amelia Wrinkled Leather Jacket and the Vespa Vintage Leather Jacket. It also makes leather vests such as the Greta and a line called JKT NYC. Every jacket is handmade one at a time in Pakistan by generationally trained master leather workers using gentle, traditional tanning methods. Its skins are a byproduct of small family farms raising food for local communities, so the brand never uses animals killed for their skins. Jakett is independent and owned and run by Greco as founder and CEO.
