The Zilli Jacket

A French family-owned and -run company established in 1970, ZILLI has forged a name in men's clothing as a forerunner in the development of the luxury leather jacket. Reworked in the House style, flight jackets, bomber jackets or biker jackets have become a part of the urban wardrobe. The ZILLI jacket has become the leading ambassador of craftsmanship cultivated in the Lyon workshop.

The leathers are necessarily sumptuous, the finishing touches and attention to detail luxurious: signature linings, yokes, removable collars, ingot zips, a replacement collar in matching leather delivered with every jacket in a matching bag. Travelling the world in search of the most beautiful hides: suede leather, glazed lambskin, peccary, python, Porosus crocodile, ostrich, deerskin.

According to the complexity of the design, it can take between 2 and 6 days for a ZILLI jacket to be ready to wear - approximately 4,500 are produced each year in Lyon.
