3O LM173 Leather Jacket - Cream Vegetable Tanned Genuine Leather Sport Italian Men's
The Leather Jacket, Lightened
A men's sport jacket in 100% genuine leather, finished in cream. Where every other man reaches for black, this one reads confident and considered: a pale, clean surface that warms with wear and takes on your shape season after season. LA HAINE INSIDE US, Italian avant-garde, Made In Italy.
Why This Leather Jacket Is Different
- Cream colourway: a rare, light alternative to the standard black leather jacket.
- 100% genuine leather: real vera pelle, unlike PU that cracks and peels within a few seasons.
- Vegetable tanned: cured with natural plant tannins rather than chromium salts.
- Develops a patina: the leather deepens and softens with wear, so it becomes uniquely yours.
- Sport cut: a contemporary athletic line that moves easily through the shoulders.
- Breathable natural material: where synthetics trap heat, leather lets the skin breathe.
- Minimal design: no loud hardware or logos, the material leads.
- Investment piece: with care, a jacket that lasts decades.
- Made In Italy: cut and constructed in Italy.

The Moment You Put It On
The smell hits first, warm and earthy, the unmistakable scent of real leather. It settles on your shoulders with a reassuring weight, firm but not stiff, and the pale surface catches the light in a way black never does.
Wear it for a season and it changes: softer at the elbows, shaped to your shoulders, the cream deepening slightly where your hands rest. It stops being new and starts being yours, a jacket with a history only you have written.
The Art of Vegetable Tanning
Vegetable tanning uses natural tannins from bark, leaves, and wood instead of chromium salts. It takes weeks rather than hours, which is why most tanneries abandoned it. The reward is a richer, firmer leather that develops a patina over time and avoids the heavy-metal waste of chrome tanning, a more responsible choice for a piece meant to last decades.
The Art of Light-Coloured Leather
Cream leather leaves nowhere to hide: every blemish shows, so only clean, even hides are selected. The result is a lighter, more modern take on the leather jacket, softer in mood than black and easy to wear with denim, tailoring, or all-white looks.
How to Wear It
- Tonal: over an ecru knit with off-white trousers and white sneakers.
- Contrast: over an all-black look, the cream as the focal point.
- Weekend: with a grey tee, straight blue jeans, and boots.
- Resort evening: over a black shirt with tailored trousers and loafers.
Care Instructions
- Professional leather cleaning only; never machine wash or dry clean as fabric.
- Wipe dust off with a soft, dry cloth.
- Condition with a cream suited to light leathers 1-2 times a season.
- Keep away from dark denim and dyed bags, which can transfer colour.
- Veg-tan leather is water sensitive: if wet, blot and dry naturally away from heat.
- Do not iron; avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
- Store in a breathable cover, never plastic.
