This new series is made using "vintage" Italian double shoulder leather. Unlike our brand's signature garment dyeing, the leather is dyed in its raw state, resulting in a deeper color. The leather is heavily oiled and then waxed and high-pressure pressed on the surface, creating a unique, distinct tiger stripe pattern not found in other leather types, while also achieving a more lustrous texture from the start, thus possessing two distinct and contrasting qualities. Furthermore, a pull-up process is applied to create a strong, profound contrast in shades. After constructing the garment into its final form as a vest, it undergoes a product wash to create a mature, wrinkled texture. Despite its rugged appearance, it is a new series created with an eye on future staple materials, focusing on a texture that is very easy to handle, and comfortable to the touch and to wear.
This leather vest is designed with a gently adjusted shape and a moderately relaxed fit. It is a leather vest designed with the aesthetic of a rider's jacket, featuring zippers on the front and side pockets, and coin pocket details for a balanced look. Due to the limited scale of the leather wear, the robust shoulder leather and the texture from the product processing are fully showcased. The zippers are YKK's high-grade EXCELLA, chosen for their subtly light impression and pursuit of standard excellence. The entire surface of the elements is carefully polished, ensuring smooth opening and closing of the zippers.
