※The size specifications are measured with the wider of the two front double zippers closed. If you close the narrower zipper, the body width can be tightened by approximately one size.
This is an original design of the brand's iconic leather down jacket, which has been consistently released as the brand's representative winter outerwear, affectionately known as "Stitch Down." It uses various leather materials and colors, employing the same manufacturing method, and features two bias curved zippers at the front, creating a highly popular hooded blouson.
This is a special piece crafted using the highest-grade leather material among those employed in the Stitch Down series (excluding the Stitch Down line developed in "BACKLASH The Line"). It utilizes high-quality baby calf leather as the base, maximizing its luxurious appeal and exuding a powerful aura of magnificence. The leather is 0.8mm thick, carefully selected for its substantial feel without being excessively heavy. By using calf leather of appropriate thickness, this stitch-down jacket, crafted from leather material, achieves a high level of "heaviness as a leather down jacket" while maintaining a comfortable fit.
※Among the three types of leather materials currently available in the "Stitch Down series," "Italy Calf" is of intermediate lightness.
It uses 0.8mm thick chrome-tanned calf leather from Italy's prestigious tannery, INCAS. Renowned for its expertise in calf leather, the company produces Italian calf grain leather, often used by luxury brands for apparel and bags, finished to a thickness of 0.8mm. The raw hides are New Zealand-sourced baby calf (less than 3 months old), processed with a combination tanning that harnesses the benefits of both chrome and tannin. This results in leather that offers both ease of wear and enjoyable aging. After dyeing the base, the leather is embossed, then tumbled in a drum, and milled to create a shrunken, unfinished baby calf with a textured grain. This is a high-quality leather from the same tannery that produced the Italy calf used in "BACKLASH The Line" in the past. Its textured grain makes scratches less noticeable, and its appropriate thickness gives it a luxurious appearance. Furthermore, it boasts excellent durability, allowing for a rich aging process and beautiful luster as it is worn over many years. Utilizing the soft and light texture of the leather, this brand's highly popular hand-stitched down jacket is crafted to be worn casually and effortlessly. The diamond-shaped stitching, expressed by spot-fastening, is not merely a pattern created by conventional sewing. Instead, each stitch is meticulously hand-done, minimizing damage to the leather. This method also significantly prevents down leakage from the needle holes, even after prolonged wear, offering the advantage of long-lasting warmth. The filling uses the highest quality Polish white goose down. This product provides definite warmth even with its relaxed fit.
This production pursues the highest level of cold protection and heat retention as a down/outerwear. It proudly holds the position of the brand's classic winter staple. The "Stitch Down Hoodie W" is characterized by two parallel curved zippers on the front. The cuff zippers are attached to the outside, accentuating them. The new pattern integrates the armhole at the armpit with the waist body line, allowing for greater shoulder movement while maintaining a sculpted silhouette. The addition of a moderately solid expression to the previous casual impression of a hooded type creates an appealing design with a balanced sense of toughness. The zippers are from RACCAGNI of Italy, and the overall black color scheme of leather and parts creates an elegant atmosphere, while also giving a moderately rugged impression. Inner pockets are also provided on both sides.
