Leather Catsuit: Downpayment & Booking
Leather Catsuit: Downpayment & Booking
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Icon: Glove or Nappa Leather Catsuit Stylish, iconic, and utterly breathtaking. Our Leather catsuit combines the finest British tailoring with the ultimate in supple, cupro-lined lambskin. This is not a "costume"—it is a second skin, engineered to fit every curve, body length, and arm size with precision.
The Physics of Movement Leather has no natural stretch. Normally, a close-fitting waist and chest would prevent you from raising your arms. We solve this through a secret pattern-cutting method that provides maximum freedom of movement with minimum extra leather. It is the perfect trade-off between a sleek silhouette and wearable comfort.
The Commission Process: Staged Payments. Total cost is £3995
To manage the immense labor and material costs, the catsuit follows a unique three-stage downpayment structure:
- Stage 1: Downpayment & Booking (£450): This non-refundable fee covers your personal pattern drafting and the creation/shipping of your cotton "toile" trial fittings.
- Stage 2: Material Allocation (£1,000): Once the pattern is verified, this payment secures your specific batch of premium glove leather hides.
- Stage 3: Final Crafting (£2,545): Invoiced approximately 10 days before your catsuit is cut and finished.
- Total cost is £3995
Specifications & Customisation

- Lining: Premium Cupro for a silk-like feel with durability.
- Bespoke Details: Zips, collar, cuffs, and leg shape are all tailored to your exact specification. Jules will guide you through the design finalisation.

Sizing - To guarantee you get a perfect fit we'll be sending you a cotton trial fitting at home, and we'll need some measurements to do this. Don't worry, it's really straight forward and we're right here to help you through the process.
Hi Jules
As always your workmanship shines through. The suit fits just the way I wanted it. Lovely soft leather. Obviously not cheap but you get what you pay for at the end of the day. Thankyou.

The Original & The Only.
Since 1999, Lux Tenebrae has been the world's first and oldest brand slamming out premium leather clothing in genuine glove leather—long before the copycats arrived. We don't "buy in" patterns or outsource the fit. Every single garment starts at the bench in our UK studio.
The Ultimate Fit Architecture.
Jules has personally hand-drawn every single pattern in our archive—thousands of designs honed over decades to achieve a fit that off-the-peg brands simply cannot match. Whether you are Off-the-Peg, Made-to-Measure, or Full Bespoke, you are benefiting from a master-tailoring process designed specifically for the unique drape and stretch of glove leather.
Built for Immortality.
We don't do "fast fashion." We do slow, defiant craftsmanship using premium, sustainable leather. Because we make everything ourselves, we can build to almost any size or specification. This is luxury built to last a lifetime, designed to move with your body, and guaranteed to get better with age.

Off The Peg
Black items qualify for a remake, size exchange, or credit note if the fit isn't right. Coloured leather items are strictly non-returnable.
The Bespoke & Custom Guarantee
The "Foolproof" Fit.
Our Bespoke service is designed for absolute peace of mind. Your final leather garment is a direct, verified duplicate of your approved cotton "toile" fitting. If we make an error, we own it—we will adjust or remake the item entirely at our expense until it is perfect.
Precision Adjustments.
For Made-to-Measure items built exactly to the measurements you provide: if the fit needs a minor tweak, we are here to help. We often handle small adjustments at no cost; however, significant alterations are billed at a studio rate of £40 per hour.
The Fine Print (Our "Active Studio" Policy)
Custom tailoring is a collaborative journey. To keep Jules’ bench moving and ensure every client receives their garment on schedule, we require active participation:
Measurements: Please provide your measurements within three months of your downpayment. If measurements aren't received in this window, we will issue a credit note for the value of your order so you can return when you are ready.
Fitting Feedback: When we send a bespoke cotton fitting, we need your feedback within two weeks.
The "Blue Moon" Clause: If we do not hear from you for four weeks following a fitting, we will consider the commission cancelled. We will issue a credit note for the remaining balance, minus materials and work already completed (calculated at £40/hr).
