It’s a nice jacket, but the quality of the leather is not as high as I had expected.
The website said to size up. Sizing up is ok with a jumper underneath, but just with a y-shirt it is a little loose
Really easy to wear. Very comfy and fits perfectly
Thanks for the espresso comment - short but packs a punch! The team is happy that you are loving your Apostl jacket

Loving my new Barnabas Leather Jacket. Comfortable fit, feels nice to wear and quality is fantastic. I am normally a size 12 and tall, so ordered XL, so glad I did as it fits me perfectly.
Thanks, Angela! Great to hear that the jacket fits you well. We are happy that you liked how soft our ethically sourced leather is

Handmade Leather Goods
Our products are designed in Tasmania and individually handcrafted by skilled artisans. When a piece is commissioned a single craftsperson works on each item from start to finish. This ensures that a great deal of attention and professional pride goes into each and every item we sell.
We only use premium A grade leather that is a by-product of the meat industry and therefore a sustainable and ethical product. We Are Pioneers For Change & We're Committed to crafting our products with Sustainable & Ethical Leather.
Our manufacturers are paid a fair price, on a per-piece basis, which both ensures the highest standards of quality for each and every item, but also guarantees that the manufacturer receives a fair proportion of the benefits as APOSTL grows. We believe that by directly aligning our interests in this way, we create the environment and culture which both encourages quality and satisfaction for our customers and also job satisfaction and security for our employees and partners.
When it comes to caring for your leather, keeping it plain and simple is the way to go. Please see below for some easy ways to keep your leather in top condition.
1. IF YOUR LEATHER GETS EVER GETS WET, JUST DRY IT! Gently dab your garment as soon as possible with a dry towel and then simply allow it to air dry. Do not use a heat source such as a hair dryer to speed up the drying. If drying a bag, you can stuff the inside with newspaper as this will help the bag hold its shape and also help absorb moisture from the interior.
2. WATERPROOF OR CONDITION Use a leather waterproof spray such as scotch guard before use so that you can easily clean the leather should you get it dirty. If your leather is feeling dry use a leather conditioner and massage it into the leather. Use a clean cloth to gently wipe off excess.
3.IF YOUR LEATHER GETS DIRTY, simply give it a CLEAN! Always handle your leather with clean, dry hands as oil and other residues will easily transfer to leather. Every other day, you can simply wipe your leather garment with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. For extra care (although not necessary) Once or twice a year, you can remove any dirt build-up by wiping down your leather bag with a leather cleaner. Apply in a circular motion and wipe off with a slightly damp cloth to avoid clogging the pores of the leather.
All APOSTL products are designed in Hobart, Tasmania by the founder BJ Radcliffe. Each piece is then handmade by skilled artisans in our partner’s boutique workshop in Bali, Indonesia. We enjoy a close relationship with our manufacturers and consider them family. We take great pleasure in visiting them twice a year to catch up, discuss products and plan for the future.
