The option to wet it.
A leather jacket must not be soaked.
Many people think so.
But I,Soak it completely in the shower.
The left is new; the right is my personal one.
Good evening. This is cantáte Matsushima.
Today, I’m talking about how it changes with age.
For details about the specifications and design of the leather jacket, please see here.
This sheepskin, too, was soaked with water immediately after completion.
And then I continued wearing it every day for a week.
The reason is simple:because I don’t want to be unsettled by a sudden shower.
Leather that has been thoroughly soaked and dried once
It won’t react excessively the next time it gets wet.
Move the fibers during the first soaking.
That alone allows the leather to settle.
A garment worn while worrying about rain makes you somewhat guarded.
Once you face it at the beginning, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.
It has only been worn for a week.
This sheepskin has not been thickly stiffened with pigment.
Because it is finished primarily with dye, the fibers move naturally.
large creases that appear precisely because it got wet
Once it absorbs water, it loosens,
The fibers tighten as it dries.
At that moment, the leather becomes slightly crisp.
I think people are the same.
If you apply nothing after a bath, your skin feels taut.
As moisture leaves, the surface firms up.
Leather also tightens.
is that “crisp texture.”
The reason people say, “That’s a fine leather,”
It lies not only in the amount of oil, but in this firmness.
Softness alone does not create character.
Its firmness is what creates the comfort that follows.

Wetting it in the shower may seem rough.
But to me, it’s breaking it in.
The way the shoulders drop.
The way the elbows settle in.
The forward pitch of the front panels.
Imprint the pressure of the body all at once.
Rather than creating it through processing,
Shape it with body heat and weight.
As a result, it may look as though it has been worn for a year.
But that isn’t about shortening the process.
I simply carved my own time into it first.
Wetting it for the first time may be a kind of commitment.
Not to keep this leather in storage,
To make it something to use.
And thankfully,
This sheepskinThey are steadily making their way to wonderful new owners.
Leather is better worn by someone than left sitting unused.
