Below the yoke seam, the color deepens into chocolate brown across the padded body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth areas are made from genuine leather, but the double-tone wax finish gives each section a deliberately varied appearance. Highlights, shaded areas and subtle creasing strengthen the vintage character without relying on printed graphics, patches or logos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStructured Stand Collar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA padded upright collar adds coverage around the neck and continues the lighter cognac treatment across the upper body. Its rounded shape can be zipped completely for cooler conditions or left open for a more relaxed profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMatching leather binding strengthens the collar perimeter and both armholes. These tonal edges help the sleeveless openings retain their shape instead of rolling outward during wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAntique-Brass Zip System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe center front closes with a heavy-duty \u003cstrong\u003eYKK #8 zipper\u003c\/strong\u003e in an antique-brass finish. Its larger teeth suit the substantial leather shell and insulated body, while an attached leather pull tab makes the slider easier to operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNarrow facings reinforce both sides of the opening without introducing a bulky storm flap.
