What she did leave is real craft: batwing sleeves cut deep and dramatic, structured shoulder pads built in but never obvious once worn, and a waist that adjusts two ways at once, back fitting zippers doing the close work and a wide buckle belt doing the visible work on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo pockets sit at the side waist, and up front there are two more, one decorative and one genuinely useful, easy to tell apart once you know which is which. The front zip runs 38cm down from a 15cm neck drop when fully closed, and the fringe falls 10.5cm at the sleeve edges, cut sharp and even. Every zipper still runs smooth, and the nap has been aired and brushed back to its original softness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44180327432326,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3992.jpg?v=1784789752","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/black-rain-bella-j-1980s-suede-fringe-biker-jacket","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
