The leather jacket, tough armour for hard times, is making a huge comeback everywhere in fashion this winter, in both menswear and womenswear.

This brown leather jacket with a faux-fur collar, a cut above the rest, is from Hackett, and looks the price at €900. It’s worn here with a blue twill shirt (€120), herringbone wool tie (€75 – not the usual Hackett bow tie), camel cashmere pullover (€120), flat-front chinos (€165), and canvas holdall (€270). Which all adds up to a polished look at €1,650, and we’re not including the shades nor the Crockett Jones shoes. From Hackett on South Anne Street, Dublin.
