Alexander McQueen Kangaroo Leather Stonewashed Biker Jacket

Monseigneur Roel — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 21:44:21 +0000

I’ve just been to the lovely continent of Australia for a few weeks. At one restaurant I even ate some real nice kangaroo steak. But I’ve never considered wearing some kangaroo skin. That offcourse, was before I saw this beautiful biker jacket by Alexander “May God have his soul” McQueen. I like the raw but simplistic look.

The jacket comes from McQueen’s spring/summer ’11 collection. It’s created in kangaroo leather, has four outer pockets with press stud fastenings, a concealed hood and zip fastening and a raised collar. The jacket has soft suede elbow patches and is finished with a removable waist belt.

available at oki-ni for € 4679,-
