The Merlin smooth leather vest by WILDCHILD redefines the vest with clean lines, premium materials and refined tailoring. Handmade from 100% natural leather, this piece is designed to fit effortlessly and elevate any layer.

Material & Craftsmanship

This vest is 100% handmade in natural leather, carefully selected for texture and durability. The interior is fully lined for comfort and smooth wear. With an expert finish, each panel is cut and assembled by skilled artisans.
It features a button-front closure and a length of approx. 40 cm. One size fits all.

Design & Structure

The design presents a structured silhouette, clean shoulder line and minimalist finish. The polished smooth leather gives refined presence while the minimal hardware ensures focus remains on form and material. Its cropped length brings modern proportion and versatility.

Why You’ll Love It

This vest elevates any outfit. The smooth leather adds depth and sophistication. Whether layered over a fine knit, paired with tailoring or worn under a coat, it becomes an architectural accent rather than a filler piece. With wear the leather gracefully adapts to your form.

Styling Recommendations

• Layer over a silk blouse or fitted turtleneck to let the leather stand out,

• Pair with high-waisted trousers or a structured skirt for shape and proportion,

• Wear under an open coat so the cropped silhouette and smooth finish peek,

• Keep accessories minimal so the vest remains the focal point.

Fit & Feel

Offered in one size fits all with a tailored cut that sits approx. 40 cm in length. The leather offers structured support yet adapts with wear for comfort.

Care Instructions

Store on a wide hanger to preserve structure. Avoid direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear. For deeper care consult a leather specialist. Do not fold or compress for long periods.
