Quick answer

The Toledo Fitted Leather Jacket in Ivory is cut close through the body and cropped at a slight flare, so choose your usual size if you want it to sit fitted, or size up if you plan to layer knitwear underneath. Clean it only with products made for finished leather, keep embroidery away from water and heat, and store it on a wide hanger away from direct sunlight.

Why the scalloped hem changes how you judge fit

The Toledo's sharp, scalloped hem and cropped, slightly flared shape mean the jacket ends above the widest part of the hip. That makes the waist and shoulder area the deciding measurements, not the length. If the shoulders pull or the concealed front closure strains when fastened, the jacket is too small, even if the hem feels roomy.

Because the front closes with concealed closures rather than a visible zip or buttons, there is little give to adjust. Check that the two front edges meet flat without gaping before you decide between two sizes.

The trade-off with ivory leather and embroidery

Ivory leather shows marks that darker leather hides, and the panelled floral embroidery adds texture that can trap dust and catch on rough surfaces. That does not make the jacket impractical, but it does mean you should treat it as a piece you rotate rather than wear daily against abrasive bags or seats.

Avoid waterproofing sprays or creams that are not labelled for finished, pigmented leather. Some products can darken pale leather or leave a residue around stitching and embroidery, and once ivory leather discolours it is difficult to reverse.

Toledo fit and care questions answered

Does the Toledo Fitted Leather Jacket run true to size?

It is designed as a fitted, cropped jacket, so start with your usual size if you want that close silhouette. If you are between sizes or want to wear a fine knit underneath, take the larger size and check that the shoulders still sit on your shoulder point. Judge the size with the jacket fastened, not open.

What should I wear under an ivory leather jacket?

Choose light or tonal layers in smooth fabrics such as silk, fine cotton or a thin knit. Dark denim, heavily dyed fabrics and rough textures can transfer colour or abrade pale leather at the hem and cuffs.

How do I clean an ivory leather jacket?

Wipe surface marks with a soft, barely damp cloth using a cleaner made for finished leather, then buff dry immediately. Do not soak the embroidery, use household wipes, or rub hard over stitched panels. For deeper marks or overall cleaning, use a leather specialist rather than a standard dry cleaner. Test any cleaner on a hidden inner seam first.

How should I store it between wears?

Hang the jacket on a wide, padded hanger so the shoulders keep their shape, fasten the front closures, and leave breathing space in the wardrobe. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators, and use a breathable cotton garment bag rather than plastic.

What if it gets caught in rain?

Blot the leather with a clean dry cloth and let it air dry flat and away from heat. Do not use a hairdryer or radiator, and do not rub the embroidery while it is wet, as damp fibres distort more easily. Never store the jacket until it is completely dry.
