Cropped Faux Leather Jacket

This BLANKNYC jacket leans into the tension between technical utility and vintage aviation tropes. The diamond-quilted ripstop body provides a matte, utilitarian base, contrasted sharply by a smooth faux leather placket and oversized, high-pile faux fur lapels. It hits at the high hip with a boxy, wide-sleeve architecture that demands to be worn over a slim-fitting turtleneck.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is constructed entirely from synthetic, petroleum-derived textiles, including ripstop and faux leather. The reliance on plastic-based fibers and faux fur significantly reduces breathability and carries a high risk of microplastic shedding and chemical transfer through skin contact.
