Erd Midnight Oil Jacket​

Erd Midnight Oil Jacket​

The ERD Midnight Oil Jacket looks like something pulled out of a fire before it finished burning. Cast in worn black leather with a low, oil-slick sheen, it’s cut like a relic from a decade that didn’t survive its own excess.

Across the back, a rust-red stain blooms out from the shoulder blade — part bruise, part wound, part accident nobody’s explaining. It sits raw against the black leather, unbordered, unexplained, bleeding down toward the waist like it happened mid-motion and nobody stopped to clean it up. The front stays clean and composed by comparison: a sharp point collar, full front zip, twin zippered hand pockets, and a faint painted mark ghosting near the left cuff — the only warning that something’s off before you turn around. Lace-up detailing runs down both sides at the waist, cinching the silhouette in like the jacket’s holding itself together by hand.

Built in genuine leather with an oversized unisex cut, this is a piece meant to scar rather than age gracefully — every crease becomes part of the story. Leather this heavy needs specialist handling, so read the garment care before you do anything with it yourself. Runs S, M, L, XL.

Founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy, Enfants Riches Déprimés — French for “Depressed Rich Kids” — has spent over a decade colliding 1970s French avant-garde tailoring with raw punk nihilism. Each release functions less like a product drop and more like a hyper-exclusive, isolating object: hard to acquire, harder to be indifferent to.

Crafted across Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan.

Some stains come out. This one’s the point.
