My first leather was cantate.
"Because it's more interesting that way."
It feels like I'm watching a full-length movie.
I don't need down jackets this year.
7 selections of cliché cold weather goods!
Hello.
This is Sugimura from cliché.
As the title suggests, I bought my first rider's jacket.
I've been spending every day in high spirits since it arrived.
Although it is not my first time using leather,
stein cliché bespoke red leather,
It's different from an old leather jacket.
This is the first classic biker jacket with a perfect fit in this price range.
There is no level of quality in everything.
I bought it with "life" in mind.
cantate 23AW's "British Leather Jacket".

"British Leather Jacket" (Right: BORDEAUX)
¥660,000 (TAX IN)
"[Exclusive] British Leather Jacket / SIZE: 0" (Left: MID NIGHT)
¥660,000 (TAX IN)
These are the most expensive clothes of my life.
Until now, I couldn't believe that cantate's sukajan duffel coat was 330,000 yen,
You can afford to double the amount at once.
When I calculated the amount, the calculator in my head exploded. .
Even to buy a pack of natto, I went to the supermarket.
Even though we are comparing over a difference of several tens of yen,
Clothes are really dark.
I've always wanted leather and was looking for the right time to buy it.
I finally decided to purchase it.
What gave me a boost was the fact that cantate and the soaring price of leather.
If I was going to buy a leather jacket, I had decided to go with cantate.
Another factor is that I can see the quality of the product up close.
Leather of a level that cannot be used anywhere else has been made into a jacket, right in front of you.
This fact makes me feel like I've seen something forbidden that no one has ever seen before.
It made me feel very uplifted.
As a review, the previous leather was Mexican sheep leather,
The modern atmosphere where you can see the tea core is very cool.
The next product is the finest suede inside out.
I'm intrigued because I've never seen the back side of shoes and clothes.
The impression is different from the finest suede, with a very wild expression and bright colors.
This time it changes to French calf leather,
In addition to the elastic look, you can also feel the fresh texture.
Without making many standard molds,
Because it is a brand that constantly updates the highest prices with new perspectives,
If you miss it once, you may never be able to get that season's clothes again.
He has a shaved head that doesn't even feel the slightest bit of Chinese soup,
Leather harvested from French calves raised for meat.
As a result of careful tanning, it has a smooth and shiny look.
This suits me.
That's how I felt, and I made the decision based on my intuition.
The price of leather continues to rise.
The price is the same as the 23SS single rider, but (this seems to be a courtesy of Mr. Matsushima)
Also from cantate, such as Traveler Bag and Ribbon Belt,
When I see leather products, I get scared inside.
I'm afraid I won't be able to buy things like I do now, so now is the only time...
I told myself.
If you wait too long, you won't be able to get it, and your expenses will only increase.
There's nothing good about it.
It's been a month and a half since I bought it, and it's my personal item.
At first, I consciously tried to wear it to blend in, but
As it gradually became softer,
The number of times I went out wearing them has naturally increased.
It's still the chick's second month,
Even on the first day of purchase,
There was no stress in terms of movement, such as not being able to raise my arms, which is called the baptism of leather.
A technique that can only be achieved with plump leather. It's a cheat.
However, what I did to make the leather blend even further was
If you have time, do a muscle pose by folding your arms and bending your elbows. (Who wants to see it!)
Also, recently, a secret ritual passed down by Mr. Matsushima,
I also used it in the shower at home.
When I first heard about it, it was 600,000 yen for leather and a shower...! ?
I thought, but is everyone doing it? I knew it was a rite of passage.
After listening to Mr. Matsushima's explanation, I was able to carry out the project with confidence.
The explanation is quoted below,
When you take a shower, dyes, oils, etc. wash away,
The color may become lighter or the bathroom may get dirty, so
Please do so at your own risk.
"It depends on the type of leather of the rider,
Take a shower with hot water of around 40 degrees and wet it evenly while hanging it on a hanger.
Once it's about 80% dry, try it on and stretch it out where you want it to stretch, such as the elbows, hem, and around the collar.
I guess it feels more like developing a habit than stretching it.
Any leather will definitely stretch.
People often say that they are now easier to wear, but that may be because the leather has become softer.
This is mainly due to growth in areas where we want growth.
The above reason is why cantate's leather is thicker than regular leather.
Thick items will stretch and become thinner, while thin ones will tear.
I digress, but after adding the habit, dry it on a hanger in the shade.
I'm sure you'll get used to it after wearing it for over a month, so you can wear it right away.
Another advantage is that the texture of the leather is crisp.
If we don't use lotion or other care after taking a bath, our skin will feel crispy and stiff.
The same goes for leather, and its crisp texture gives it a nice texture. "
When I used the exact same method,
It makes it easier for your shoulders to pass through, making it easier to bend and straighten your elbows.
It has changed as if the width of the body has increased just a little.
Even compared to before I took a shower,
The ease of wearing is much different.
Honestly, until Kinoshita pushed me hard,
I was planning on taking a shower earlier.
But it's not a bad thing, so hurry up lol
I was encouraged and decided to take the plunge, and the scenery was already rosy.

You can also see the difference in texture when comparing it with a new one.
There are wrinkles on the elbows and shoulders, giving it a soft appearance,
The firm appearance on the surface has not changed.
There is room only in the areas you want.
The back satin gabarne lining is
A material used as the surface of jackets, etc.
This also feels like it has increased smoothness,
Putting on and taking off is also smoother.
I was alone while taking this photo, so
"Wow, you're so cool."
And
"That's what it feels like."
He was talking to himself like a mudskipper.
This is my child! So,
I want to show off to everyone like my pet dog. Really.

When I wear leather, I wear jeans and Rios boots underneath.
The inner layer is often a tight-fitting sweater.
It's been cold lately, so I've been wearing a mohair cardigan over top.
The strong texture of leather and the soft texture of cashmere.
A combination that complements each other,
This is the style I decided to make when I first got my first pair of leather.
The luxurious winter you've been waiting for.
And no matter how many times I see the color of BORDEAUX, I really like it.
It's a really stylish color with a slightly BROWN flavor that isn't too flashy.
By not creating a harsh atmosphere,
It is easy to imagine how to match colors and add strengths and weaknesses to accessories.
My first time wearing leather was a tight fit and a basic color.
That's what I was thinking, so I was worried about the other color MID NIGHT,
BORDEAUX doesn't go outside the frame, but it's an exquisite color with character, so it's OK.
We discussed it and finally decided.
I bought the leather with the feeling of jumping off the stage in Shimizu,
When I wear a size 44, I feel the charm of a size 0 even more.
There are times when I want to wear a hoodie,
Is bigger still justice? Let's think about another attraction.
If you buy a second pair, it will cost 1,260,000 yen...
Mr. Matsushima, do I have a bonus...?

Rios of Mercedes "Waxy Kansas" ¥275,000 (TAX IN)
Kinoshita also styles his personal bikers.
In the striped slacks with a beautiful face,
Strips Rios from me and boots him in.
When I wear a leather jacket, I want to wear Rios.
I'm a senior in leather who has been wearing leather for almost a year now.
"The way the front strap hangs down is so cool!"
I've been told something.
I didn't understand it at the time, but I understand it now.
He looks so good that I'm drooling.
The woman's curly hair and front strap should not hang down this much.
By the way, the weather looks a little cloudy.
It was raining heavily on the morning I took the photo.
"Leather is a strange thing, and it only becomes cool when exposed to the elements.
There is a difference in style between street-wear bikers and bikers worn by real riders.
But even if you don't ride a motorcycle, there are ways to look good, such as wearing it on rainy days or letting it blend in in the shower. "
This is also something I learned from Mr. Matsushima,
Normally, it would be raining since morning, but
For me who got a leather jacket, Rather an opportunity.
I don't even have an umbrella, I just wear leather,
I ran out of the house in high spirits.
Even though I don't ride a bike,
It's great to have a regular route to real aging.
I wonder if it's possible to get caught in the snow.
The last move that made me want to buy leather was
Kinoshita and Matsushima-san, who I wear most closely, have a big influence on me.
I looked at each person wearing aged leather with an overwhelming presence,
Every time we pass each other at the store, we take a quick look at each other,
Taking it off and sneaking a look at it hanging is really poisonous to the eyes.
It's hard to see where to look like a couple making out at the station ticket gate.
I'm really glad I bought 10eyevan sunglasses as well.
First of all, I would be happy if you could take a look at it at the store.
And now, following the aging of our seniors,
A steep leather road opened up before me.
Leather has a history.
There are scenery and paths to choose from that only those who buy leather can see.
For a long time to come,
Just thinking about wearing it on rainy and windy days is enough.
I can't stop sighing happily.
