Verin Pu Jacket

Cut with dropped shoulders and a boxy, squared-off torso, this chocolate faux leather jacket leans into late-nineties utilitarian minimalism. The midweight shell features a dual zip-and-snap storm placket, a high funnel neck, and deep angled welt pockets framed by structured topstitching. It hits right at the hip with side waist tabs that let you pull in the volume against clean denim or fluid tailoring.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: Composed predominantly of polyurethane over a viscose-cotton base with a synthetic polyester-elastane lining, this garment consists of wearable plastics that offer negligible breathability. Polyurethane and synthetic linings pose heat-trapping risks and potential off-gassing from polymer coatings, making them non-biocompatible against bare skin
