Yes, the shell is 100% real lambskin leather, not faux leather or bonded leather. Lambskin in white is less common than black or brown because it requires more controlled tanning and finishing, which is why most brands skip it. The white finish on the Aurora is part of what makes it a rarer find in the peplum leather jacket category.

A peplum waist is a design detail where the jacket cinches at the natural waist and then flares slightly at the hip. It creates an hourglass silhouette by drawing attention to the narrowest part of the torso.

It tends to work especially well on straight or athletic body types by adding curve definition, and is equally flattering on curvy body types by framing the waist cleanly. The Aurora's peplum is tailored rather than exaggerate, it's subtle enough to read as structured, not costume-like.

An asymmetric zip runs diagonally off-center rather than straight down the middle. On the Aurora, this shifts the front profile slightly, breaking the symmetry of a standard jacket and creating a more fashion-forward silhouette. It's a detail borrowed from moto jacket design, but it reads as refined rather than aggressive on the Aurora's white peplum body.

The four snap-tab buckles, positioned across the front and back, are decorative hardware elements inspired by classic biker jacket detailing. They add structure and visual interest to the silhouette without adding weight or bulk. When worn open, they frame the peplum shape. When fastened, they tighten the fit slightly for a more defined look. It's the detail that keeps the Aurora from reading as a plain white jacket.

The Aurora is designed to fit true to size. The peplum waist is cut to sit at the natural waist, so accurate waist measurement is more important here than for a standard jacket. If you're between sizes and prefer a more relaxed fit through the shoulders, size up. If you want the peplum waist to sit precisely, stay true to size.
