A Leather-Look Jacket That Leans Into Structure Over Shine

Faux leather jackets often chase a slick, glossy finish designed to mimic polished leather as closely as possible. Topshop's Oversized Faux Leather Funnel Button Through Jacket takes a different route, built around a matte finish and architectural details that give it a more considered, structured character rather than a purely shiny statement piece.

A funnel neck that frames rather than exposes

Rather than a standard open collar, the jacket uses a funnel neck design — a higher, more enclosed collar shape that frames the face and neck more fully than a conventional lapel. That detail gives the jacket a slightly more architectural, directional silhouette compared to a classic biker or bomber-style leather jacket collar.

An asymmetric button placket for genuine visual interest

Instead of a centred, symmetrical button closure, the jacket uses an asymmetric placket — a styling detail that shifts the closure line off-centre, adding a subtle but genuine point of visual interest to an otherwise minimal, monochrome piece.

A relaxed, oversized cut built for easy layering

The jacket is cut specifically for a relaxed, oversized fit — proportions that allow room to layer a jumper or hoodie underneath during colder months, rather than a closely fitted silhouette that restricts what can comfortably be worn beneath it.

Matte fabric for a genuinely different visual texture

Rather than the high-shine finish typical of many faux leather pieces, this jacket uses a deliberately matte fabric — a choice that reads as more subdued and versatile, working across a broader range of outfit styles without the attention-grabbing glare that glossier faux leather can bring to an otherwise simple look.

Functional pockets and genuine seam detailing

Beyond the core silhouette, the jacket includes functional pockets and seam detailing running throughout the garment — practical and visual details that add structure and genuine utility, rather than a plain, featureless panel of fabric from shoulder to hem.

A polyurethane construction with a polyester lining

The jacket's main fabric is 100% polyurethane with a 100% polyester lining — a combination chosen specifically to replicate leather's look and drape while remaining machine washable, a meaningful practical advantage over genuine leather, which typically requires specialist dry cleaning rather than a standard home wash.
