The house treats the riders jacket the way a tailor treats a suit: vegetable-tanned hides that keep their natural grain and marks, close-fitting patterns, and production in small, numbered runs that read more like editions than collections. In Japan the label is carried by a handful of specialist menswear shops, and it is followed closely by collectors who want an Italian alternative to the heavy American and Japanese horsehide jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the single riders jacket in black horsehide. The hide has the slightly mottled, hand-finished surface that Ajmone is known for, with darker tones gathering at the seams and lighter highlights across the shoulders. The band collar closes with a brass snap, and the front, chest pocket, hand pockets and cuffs all run on polished brass YKK Excella zips, the top tier of the YKK range. Inside, a dark green cupro lining shows only when the jacket opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cut is slim and short, built to sit at the hip and follow the shoulder closely, so it wears as easily over a fine knit with trousers as it does with denim. Horsehide starts firm and settles to the body with wear, and this example has not yet begun that process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has only been tried on and comes with the original Ajmone hanger and swing tags, an uncommon opportunity to begin the ageing of a fine horsehide jacket from the very start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ajmone (Roberto and Stefano Aimone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recent production; season not stated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horse single riders jacket (tag ref B1X)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shell 100% horsehide; lining 100% cupro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black; dark green lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shoulder 44.5 cm · Chest (pit to pit) 50.5 cm · Sleeve 60.5 cm · Length 60.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original Ajmone hanger and swing tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnworn; tried on only, with no alterations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHide clean, with the natural grain variation and tonal finish intended by the maker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass zips run smoothly with no tarnish; lining immaculate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal tags attached.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description.
