Hyde Jacket

Rue Sophie’s trench leans into the high-gloss, liquid finish of patent-effect polyurethane, giving the silhouette a rigid, architectural weight that holds its shape through the shoulders and skirt. The addition of a throat-latch buckle and a cinched waist belt disrupts the standard double-breasted layout, lending a utilitarian edge to its noir aesthetic. It operates best as a singular statement layer, intended to break up the texture of softer tailoring or wool trousers underneath.
