A symbol of adulthood.
Leather had always been a distant garment.
When we were children, leather jackets were “a symbol of adulthood.”
Something you wear someday.
it is something you wear when the day you suit it arrives.
But in truth,
It grows more becoming the more you wear it.
Good evening.cantáte Matsushima here.
The story of the treated denim will have to wait until another day.
Today, just the 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-like horn 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 100ds from Spanish meat-breed sheep.
Compared with the typical roughly 70ds, the impact of the surface is entirely different.
Why are we so particular about the size?
Until now, we have explained it as “eliminating joins to accommodate the fabric yield.”
But to be precise, that is not quite it.
The reason is,For the silhouette.
just like with fabric garments, eliminating horizontal joins makes the leather fall into drapes as naturally as fabric.
Conversely, when the pieces are divided finely and joined together like patchwork,
Even with the same pattern, the way it falls becomes entirely different.
Leather with many joins develops a certain rigidity in its lines.
Because the surfaces are divided, the flow of air comes to a stop.
What I am aiming for is
A leather garment that falls like fabric.
so we choose large hides.
It may not be the best way to put it,
We do not subscribe to the idea of making garments for our customers from ingredients intended for staff meals.
The more surface area that can be cut from a single hide,
The garment quietly grows stronger.
The tanningChrome-tanned in Japan.
It has substantial thickness, yet feels surprisingly soft to the touch.
its appearance becomes refined like calfskin, while its characteristic sheepskin suppleness spreads beneath your fingertips.
Through wear,The luster deepens, puckering emerges along the seams, and the flaps curl.
It is not a treatment, but a trace of time.
That is why,Waterproofing spray is strictly forbidden.
Leather dislikes having its breathing stopped above all else.
This leather is not intended to flaunt its strength,
Leather for bringing it into everyday life.
