You should say:
It was a traditional black leather jacket, stylish yet practical, with a zip-up front and a soft inner lining.
My cousin, who lives abroad, gave it to me during one of his visits to our hometown.
I received it about a year ago, around my birthday in November.
He gave it to me as a birthday gift and also because he knew I’d always wanted a good-quality leather jacket but hadn’t bought one for myself. It was both thoughtful and useful, especially for the colder season.
