The holidays may be over but that does not mean we need to stop giving back during the slow and chilly month January. With 2012, we bring the first of what we hope will a more frequent giveaway window. Yigal Azrouël has kindly offered one of their shearling lined leather jackets, part of their Autumn/Winter 2011 collection for one lucky reader. This is a proper giveaway and damn nice.

We’ve spoken about Lot 78 a galaxy ago, but we’ve just been sent their newest collection and whaddya know? We like it. As you’d expect for a company specialising in leather jackets, it’s a noir affair. In fact, we feel a little out of place talking about this now, when we’re generally thinking about linen – that aside, it’s one to keep an eye out for, especially as it’ll be in Barneys come next season.

Take a leap to see more of the collection.

HopeHope turns us onto Zurich’s Suede Leather Jacket which “makes custom-made leather jackets. Everything is designed and created in their own atelier – quality materials and details are their highlights.” Though not all of Suede’s leathers appeal to us, there are some choice pieces to be seen.

We’ve highlighted our favorite jackets from Suede after the jump.

Leather jackets have been popular ever since the Strokes came out and the look is one that never seems to go out of fashion. Despite this, there’s still a dearth of good quality jackets with innovative designs. Lot 78, a London based brand focusing on leather jackets, have spotted this and decided to create buttery soft jackets using calf skin and designs that aren’t from the Fonzie era. Check out the rest of the collection after the jump.

When Gucci’s Frida Giannini set out to develop the Fall/Winter 2008/09 collection, she had her vision set on influence and inspiration coming from "Russian Rock." We can only image that the early setting sun and cold temperatures of Russia helped in development of a variety of leather jackets in the line. Openers of Japan profiles some of the more detailed and complex constructions of the collection.
