JOSEPH Aitna Light Suede Jacket in Taupe
Aitna Light Suede Jacket in Taupe
The Aitna jacket gives suede the ease of a shirt. JOSEPH cuts it from an exceptionally smooth goatskin and leaves it unlined, so it is light enough for the in-between weeks of the year and falls softly from the shoulder rather than standing away from the body. A concealed placket keeps the front clean, leaving the soft nap and warm taupe of the suede to define the piece. Available online with shipping throughout Australia and internationally, and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
Cut short and relaxed, with dropped shoulders and a hem that steps slightly longer at the back, the jacket sits at the hip and is at its best above a higher waist. By day it goes over the Geras Cashair Jumper in Lilac, soft cashmere beneath smooth suede, with straight-leg denim or a long pleated skirt. For the evening it is worn open over a silk camisole and the Ale Silk Chiffon Trousers in Mahogany, matte suede against the movement of the chiffon.

Is the JOSEPH Aitna jacket lined?
No. The Aitna is unlined, which keeps it light and lets the suede fall softly. It layers comfortably over fine knitwear or a shirt.
How does the Aitna fit?
The Aitna has a relaxed fit with dropped shoulders, and its short length finishes at the hip, stepping slightly longer at the back. In Australian sizing, FR 34 is AU 6 and FR 36 is AU 8.
What is the difference between suede and smooth leather?
Suede is made from the inner side of the hide, buffed to a soft, velvety nap, while smooth leather uses the outer surface. Goatskin suede, as used for the Aitna, is notably fine and light.
How should the Aitna be cared for?
The jacket should be cleaned by a leather specialist only. Between wears, a broad hanger and a place away from direct sunlight help the suede keep its shape and colour.
