The Soho Leather Blouson is set to be one of the most popular women's jackets from the latest Matchless collection. As seen on model of the moment Cara Delevingne, the leather jacket is a fitted style to assentuate the figure and create a laid back look. This look of 'biker jacket' has been replicated by most High Street brands including French Connection and Religion at a more affordable price, however nothing can beat the feel of a 100% leather jacket featuring the iconic Matchless logo emblazoned on one sleeve. And who can ignore the fact that both Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne are fans of the range?
The Brooklands Coat is a slightly longer coat than the rest of the collection. The mixture of wool and polyester is able to create a sturdy coat that, together with the leather panelling, creates a feel of luxury and class. The leather belt featuring the branded metal buckle allows a cinched in waist and most resembles a Trench coat style of jacket compared to the standard motorcycling look the rest endure. Other small details include deep front pockets, press stud fasteners, and an enclosed zip.
The Kate Shearling Bluson Jacket is named after none other than the face of the brand and queen of the supermodels Kate Moss. Being a style icon to many as well as being one of the most sought after and highest paid models, its no wonder that Kate has been named after a jacket from the range. This jacket is set to become the iconic statement piece from the range and is priced at £1,599.00. The Kate is a bomber style jacket that she herself has been seen wearing, with a shearling lining for extra warmth and a distressed looking leather outer.
The Notting Hill Parka is the only non leather jacket from the collection and instead uses a wax effect finish. The versatility of the jacket is one of its strong points; the hood can be removed using the press stud fasteners to create a whole new style of jacket or alternatively, the hood may be kept intact and the fur lining can be detached for another winter look.
The Notting Hill Leather Jacket is the garment most associated with the motorcycling history of the brand. Complete with multiple front pockets and a smooth leather finish, the masculine look of the jacket is made more feminine by the added drawstring waist feature that can be accessed from the interior. The price of the range may be steep, but when choosing a leather jacket, you really do want the best. A 100% leather jacket is an investment and will last years and years to come, maintaining its right to call itself the high end classic piece in your wardrobe.
