If there is one silhouette currently dominating the global fashion landscape, it is the oversized leather bomber. Far from a fleeting trend, the bomber has reclaimed its status as the definitive cool-girl layer. A piece that manages to be both irreverent and impeccably polished.

Introducing The Striker Leather Jacket in Black & Taupe. A highlight of PORTRAIT. Chapter III collection, the Striker is our elevated take on the flight jacket. Crafted from a buttery, premium Italian nappa leather that's certified, it balances a heavy-duty aesthetic with the soft, luxurious handle that has defined Viktoria & Woods for over 20 years.

The Striker is designed with a modern, oversized frame through the shoulders and sleeves, but it is the defined, elasticated waist that truly sets it apart as a must-have.

While the waist is designed for a snug, secure fit, this is a deliberate structural choice. The narrower elastication allows you to tuck the hem under, creating a voluminous, cropped "bubble" effect that mimics the street-style silhouettes seen on the streets of Paris and Copenhagen. It provides an intentional juxtaposition, excessive volume through the arms anchored by a cinched, high-waist finish.

Margie Founder & Creative Director Note:
For those who prefer a more traditional, relaxed drape through the torso, we recommend sizing up to achieve that effortless, slouchy silhouette.

The Funnel Neck: A removable funnel neck detail offers two looks in one. Zip it high for an architectural, utilitarian feel, or remove it for a classic, clean collar.

The Hardware: Accented with tonal zippers and functional pockets that maintain the jacket’s minimalist edge.

The Fabric: 100% genuine Italian Nappa leather that only gets better with age, making it a generational investment piece.

Our premium, responsibly sourced Italian Nappa leather receives gold rating Leather Working Group accreditation, ensuring the best standards of animal welfare and environmental practice. This leather is a by-product of the meat industry and is produced in a small, family-run tannery in Türkiye.

The beauty of the Striker lies in its versatility. It is the ultimate "finishing piece" for your daily uniform:

The Off-Duty Edit: Lean into the volume. Pair the Striker with our oversized denim and a simple white tank. The cinched waist of the jacket creates a flattering break against wide-leg proportions.

The Evening Edge: Throw it over a sheer silk maxi dress or a slip. The ruggedness of the Italian Nappa leather provides the perfect foil to delicate evening wear.

The Tucked Look: Use the elasticated hem to your advantage. Fold it inward and pair it with a high-waisted Idol pant to elongate the legs and highlight the jacket’s cropped architectural shape.

Our pieces, defining the modern Australian wardrobe, since 2004. The Striker is more than a jacket; it is the foundational icon to outlast all seasons.
