Cityzen’s Tennessee Cognac: a blouson that carries the spirit of the open road

This leather jacket is cut from full-grain sheep leather, a choice that balances lightness and resilience. The warm cognac shade—deep, burnished, almost liquid—evokes the patina of a well-travelled guitar case or the leather seats of a vintage American sedan. It is neither too dark nor too pale, making it versatile enough to pair with denim, wool, or even tailored trousers.

A silhouette rooted in rock heritage

The Tennessee silhouette leans on the timeless rocker template: straight shoulders, a slightly tapered waist, and a straight hem that falls just below the belt line. The shirt-style collar—neat, not oversized—adds a touch of classic tailoring without softening the jacket’s edge. It is a piece that nods to the 1970s outlaw aesthetic while remaining clean enough for everyday wear.

Built for movement, designed to last

Sheep leather is naturally supple, so the jacket moves with the body rather than against it. The absence of lining keeps the weight down, making it comfortable across seasons—layer it over a T-shirt in autumn, a knit in winter, or a linen shirt in spring. The cognac hue will deepen and develop character with each wear, ensuring the jacket feels personal rather than mass-produced.
