The verdict
Fit
Horsehide runs stiff and snug initially. Perfecto silhouette is fitted through the chest and shoulders; expect several months of intense break-in.
Quality
Horsehide at $995 is premium leather with meticulous construction. Perfecto proportions are classically exacting; durability spans 20+ years with care.
Is the price fair?
Fair for genuine horsehide and Perfecto heritage. Premium pricing reflects leather quality and maker reputation; this is investment-tier outerwear.
Best for
Motorcycle riders, leather purists, and collectors willing to weather a demanding break-in for a lifetime jacket.
Care
Horsehide requires minimal care. Oil sparingly only when deeply creased; let it patina naturally in stable conditions.
What owners report about Naked & Famous jackets & outerwear
Coverage of this jacket line comes mainly from denim-enthusiast editorial and owner fade reports rather than mass retail reviews. A year-long owner wear report on the brand's stretch denim jacket found it molded to the wearer's frame and developed strong creasing and fading through heavy touring use. Editors place the brand's jackets in the mid tier of denim jackets and note the range spans light 9 oz. fabrics up to heavy 20 oz. novelty denim, with heritage styles cut to a vintage fit that is boxier and shorter than contemporary offerings.
- Strengths
- Reviewers report a wide fabric range and denim that creases, molds, and fades distinctively with sustained wear.
- Watch out for
- Heritage-style jackets run boxy and short by modern standards, and fabric weights vary so much across the line that two jackets can wear like completely different garments.
- Sizing
- Expect vintage proportions on the heritage jackets — boxier and shorter than contemporary trucker cuts — so compare garment measurements rather than assuming your usual jacket fit.
