Double Goose Black Leather V-Coat with Fur Collar

A Mid-Thigh Leather Coat Built With Chevron Quilting and True Arctic-Grade Goose Down

This isn't a jacket that stops at the waist — it's a full mid-thigh V-coat, cut from smooth black calfskin leather and quilted in continuous chevron panels that run unbroken from collar to hem, front and back. Underneath the shell sits a 90/10 goose down-to-feather fill rated at 750+ fill power, the same ratio used in genuine arctic-grade outerwear, so the warmth-to-weight balance stays high without turning the coat into a stiff, overstuffed shell. It's part of our longline leather coat lineup, built for the kind of cold that a regular jacket simply can't handle.

Inside the Insulation

The outer body is 0.9mm calfskin leather, chrome-tanned for a smooth, soft-touch finish with a subtle natural sheen — not coated, not corrected-grain, just clean full hide. Packed beneath it is the 90/10 down-to-feather fill at 750+ fill power, which is what gives this coat its loft without adding unnecessary bulk across the shoulders. The interior is finished in a viscose lining, chosen specifically because it breathes better than a standard polyester lining, so layering underneath doesn't turn into a sweat trap the moment you step indoors.

Hardware That Holds Up

Every closure point on this coat is built to outlast the leather itself. The front placket runs on a heavy-duty antique brass YKK #8 zipper, topstitched with 8 SPI precision seams in bonded nylon thread for a line that holds under real winter use. Branded metallic snaps secure the collar and cuffs, metal-tipped drawstrings finish the hem, and branded shoulder rivets carry the same detailing you'd expect on a piece built for daily wear, not just display. Customers who prefer a cleaner, snap-free front often gravitate toward our classic black leather jacket lineup instead — same leather standard, simpler hardware.

Drawcord and Closure Details

Two separate drawcords give this coat shape control most coats skip entirely: one integrated at the waist to cinch the midsection for a structured silhouette, and a second at the hemline to seal out wind drafts around the legs. The collar itself carries a detachable plush opossum fur trim over a clean stand-up leather base, paired with a stud-fastened chin guard flap for added coverage on the coldest days. Twin angled hand-warmer pockets with snap closures sit up front, while two zippered chest pockets inside the lining handle phone, cards, or anything you don't want bouncing loose.

Dialing In Your Fit

Because this coat carries real insulation and an extended mid-thigh length, it sits fuller through the chest and longer through the body than a cropped bomber or biker cut — check our fit chart before ordering if you plan on layering a hoodie or sweater underneath. The snap-cuff sleeves adjust independently, so you can seal the wrists tight against wind without needing a separate size for arm length. If you're after this same insulated warmth in a shorter, tighter cut, our shearling-lined bomber styles follow a closer body silhouette.

Long-Term Upkeep Tips

Chrome-tanned calfskin is lower-maintenance than most leather — it doesn't demand frequent conditioning to stay supple, though an occasional wipe-down with a proper leather cleaner keeps the finish looking fresh. Wipe it down after exposure to rain or snow, and store it on a wide hanger rather than folded, so the down fill doesn't compress unevenly over time. The detachable fur collar can be removed for storage or cleaning separately from the shell, which also extends the life of both pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the antique brass YKK #8 zipper worth mentioning?

A: A #8 zipper is a heavier gauge than what most leather coats use, and the antique brass finish resists tarnish through repeated winter wear — it's built to match the branded shoulder rivets and heavy-duty snaps rather than being an afterthought.

Q: What's the difference between the 90/10 goose down here and cheaper down fills?

A: A 90/10 ratio means 90% down clusters and only 10% feathers, rated at 750+ fill power, which gives significantly better loft and heat retention per ounce than lower-grade fills around 50/50 or 60/40. Cheaper fills need more material to reach the same warmth, which adds bulk and weight — this coat stays warm without feeling like you're wearing a mattress.

Q: Can I remove the opossum fur collar and chin guard, and how does it attach?

A: Yes, the fur collar is fully detachable and sits over a clean stand-up leather collar base, secured with snaps rather than stitching. The chin guard flap is also stud-fastened separately, so you can run the coat with just the leather collar on milder days and add both pieces back when temperatures drop.

Q: Why does this coat have two separate drawcords instead of just one?

A: The waist drawcord shapes the midsection so the coat doesn't hang shapeless over a puffer-style silhouette, while the hem drawcord at the bottom seals out cold air and wind drafts around your legs. Having both independently adjustable means you can tighten the waist for structure without affecting how loose or sealed the bottom hem sits.

Q: What does chrome-tanned calfskin mean, and does it need special care?

A: Chrome tanning uses chromium salts rather than natural plant tannins, which is why the leather stays soft and holds a consistent, even color from the first wear. It's also more resistant to water and staining, and doesn't require the frequent conditioning that other tanning methods do.
