RALF NEWPORT BLACK: A timeless leather jacket with a modern twist

The Ralf Newport Black by Redskins is a three-quarter-length leather jacket that effortlessly bridges classic tailoring and contemporary edge. Crafted from supple lambskin leather with a subtle sheen, it’s designed to evolve with your style—gaining character with every wear while maintaining its refined silhouette. This isn’t just a jacket; it’s a statement piece that balances structure and fluidity, making it as suited to a night out as it is to a casual weekend look.

A design rooted in heritage, reimagined for today

At first glance, the Ralf Newport Black pays homage to the iconic peacoat with its shirt-style collar and double-breasted fastening—a nod to naval tradition that’s been reinterpreted in luxurious lambskin. The jacket’s length, falling just below the hip, offers both coverage and versatility, while the decorative topstitching on the back adds a touch of quality manufacturing without overpowering the clean lines. Practical details like the two slanted side pockets and two flap pockets at the front ensure functionality isn’t sacrificed for style. And that subtle Redskins branding on the sleeve? It’s a quiet reminder of the brand’s expertise in leather goods.

Lambskin leather: softness meets durability

The choice of lambskin isn’t accidental. Known for its buttery-soft texture and lightweight feel, this leather moulds to the body over time, creating a fit that’s uniquely yours. Unlike heavier leathers, lambskin drapes naturally, making it ideal for layering or wearing as a standalone piece. It’s also surprisingly resilient—with proper care, it develops a rich patina that tells the story of your adventures. Just remember: lambskin is more delicate than cowhide, so it requires a bit more attention to keep it looking its best (more on that later).

Versatility that adapts to your wardrobe

One of the Ralf Newport Black’s greatest strengths is its ability to transcend seasons and styles. In spring or autumn, it layers effortlessly over a lightweight knit or a crisp button-down, while its breathable nature makes it a surprising ally for cooler summer evenings. The jacket’s neutral black hue and timeless design mean it pairs just as well with tailored trousers and Chelsea boots as it does with jeans and sneakers. Whether you’re dressing up for a dinner date or keeping it casual for a coffee run, this piece slots seamlessly into your rotation.

Redskins has been crafting leather jackets since 1972, blending French expertise with a rebellious spirit. Originally inspired by the biker culture of the 1970s, the brand has evolved into a purveyor of refined leather goods, known for their attention to detail and quality materials. While Redskins’ designs often reference classic styles—think aviator jackets, bombers, and peacoats—they’re never bound by tradition. Instead, the brand reinterprets heritage pieces with modern cuts and unexpected details, ensuring each jacket feels both timeless and fresh. Today, Redskins remains a go-to for those who appreciate leather with character, not just as a fashion statement, but as an investment in quality manufacturing.
