Dark Metal. Sharp Silhouette.
A mottled metallic surface transforms the familiar biker silhouette into something more expressive. The LA HAINE INSIDE US LW505 women's jacket pairs black-bronze washed coated cloth with broad notched lapels and an asymmetric silver-tone zip. Made in Italy, it brings the label's avant-garde character to a short, fitted shape.
Why This Jacket Is Different
- Black-bronze finish: An irregular metallic effect catches light across the dark exterior rather than reading as flat black.
- Washed coated cloth: The textured surface gives the jacket its distinctive visual depth.
- Chiodo silhouette: Broad lapels and an off-centre closure establish the biker identity.
- Two-slider front zip: The original detail photograph shows two silver-tone sliders on the asymmetric closure.
- Zipped front pockets: Vertical pocket openings keep the front graphic and restrained.
- Zipped cuffs: Long cuff zips provide a deliberate finishing detail.
- Shaped construction: Back seams, sleeve seams and a horizontal hem band define the fitted outline.
- Italian manufacture: Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.
- Beyond a plain biker: Unlike a uniform matte-black jacket, its reflective surface becomes the focus of a monochrome outfit.

The Moment You Put It On
Let the lapels frame a simple dark base layer and the jacket immediately becomes the centre of the look. The short outline meets the waistband cleanly, while silver-tone hardware cuts through the mottled surface. Turn towards the light and the finish shifts from shadowed black to metallic highlights.
From behind, shaped seams and the hem band keep the line considered. Wear it without a belt for a clean front, or take inspiration from the belted photographs to define the waist using your own accessory.
The Art of Washed Coated Cloth
The appeal lies in the contrast between the dark ground and the fine reflective texture. The declared specification lists three separate fabrics, not one overall fibre percentage. It does not establish which component forms the coating, trim or lining, and the finish should not be treated as proof of waterproofing or abrasion protection.
The Art of Chiodo Construction
The asymmetric zip and wide lapels create the recognisable biker geometry. Zipped cuffs and shaped seams continue that language without relying on added ornament. This is a fashion jacket; protective motorcycle certification is not specified.
How to Wear It
- Evening: Pair with a minimal black dress and black ankle boots.
- Monochrome: Combine with glossy black trousers to contrast two different surfaces.
- Daytime: Wear over a plain top with dark denim and simple footwear.
- Defined waist: Add your own black belt for a cinched silhouette, or leave the front unbelted for a cleaner line.
