A symbol of adulthood.
Leather has always been a distant garment.
When I was a child, a leather jacket was “a symbol of adulthood.”
Something you wear someday.
it is something you wear when the day comes that it suits you.
But in truth,
It grows more flattering the more you wear it.
Good evening.cantáte Matsushima here.
The story of the processed denim will have to wait for another day.
Today, only leather.
This season’s leather began with the “material” before the design.
■ Leather chosen from a philosophy
Buffalo buttons and double-welt buttonholes
Irregularly shaped shell shank buttons
Buttonholes carefully trimmed by hand to ensure the buttons pass through smoothly
What we use isSpanish Heavyweight Sheepskin。
We select large hides close to 100 ds from Spanish meat breeds.
Compared with the typical hides of around 70 ds, the presence of the surface is entirely different.
Why insist so much on size?
Until now, we have explained it as “eliminating joins to accommodate fabric yield.”
But to be precise, it is slightly different.
The reason is,For the silhouette.
Just as with fabric garments, eliminating horizontal joins makes leather fall into drapes as effortlessly as fabric.
Conversely, when the pieces are finely divided and joined together like patchwork,
Even with the same pattern, the way it falls becomes entirely different.
Leather with many joins takes on a certain rigidity in its lines.
When the surface is divided, the flow of air comes to a stop.
What I am aiming for is
A leather garment that falls like fabric.
That is why we choose large hides.
This may not be the nicest way to put it,
We do not believe in making garments for our customers from ingredients meant for staff meals.
The larger the usable area of a single hide,
The garment grows quietly stronger.
The tanning processChrome-tanned in Japan.
It is given substance, yet feels astonishingly soft to the touch.
its appearance settles like calfskin, while the fingertips discover the characteristic suppleness of sheepskin.
As it is worn,Its sheen deepens, puckering emerges along the seams, and the flaps curl.
That is not a finish, but a trace of time.
That is why,Waterproofing spray is strictly forbidden.
Leather’s greatest weakness is being prevented from breathing.
This leather is not meant to flaunt its strength,
Leather designed for everyday life.

When you hear “Le Corbusier Jacket,” a certain archetype probably comes to mind.
But to be honest, I was never particularly fond of that original.
The balance of the garment’s proportions and front placket.
It never quite settled onto my own body.
That is why,We reconstructed it.
