Leather Jacket 3rd Suede

The best materials selected from raw hides The selection of raw hides is a profound process, and its properties change depending on the temperature differences between spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and humidity differences such as rainy season and dry winter.

Not only that, but the way they are grown and how the hides are processed differs depending on the location, so you need to be sure. Among them, we carefully select raw hides of satisfactory quality by specifying the place of origin.

Although we select high-quality leather, each piece of raw leather has a different expression.

Raw leather is a natural product, and just like human skin, no two skins are exactly the same.Similarly, there are always scratches and stains, but no two skins are the same, so it is a proof that it has lived in nature. I hope you enjoy the scratches and stains as a texture.

The best tanning that has been carefully considered for each leather and item Generally speaking, there are various tanning methods such as tanning, chrome tanning, oil tanning, and salt tanning. Wet blue, a typical chrome-tanned fabric In Japan, there is a fixed concept that tanned tanned leather is good and chrome-tanned leather is cheap.

In reality, this is not to say that the tanning method is good or bad, but that the properties of the leather change depending on the tanning method, so the tanning method should be selected depending on how you want the leather to be finished. Masu.

Furthermore, in some cases, multiple pieces of tanning may be combined. The combination of vegetable tannins can be changed depending on the desired texture by mixing not just one type but multiple types.

Even among the methods of tanning and chrome tanning, each tanner has a secret recipe, and the concentrations and types of chemicals used, as well as the formulations and methods, are different, and each has its own specialty finishing method.

The BONCOURA Leather Project was started based on these considerations.

At first, we didn't have the feel, texture, and color that we were looking for, and when we tried to remove the feel, we had to worry about the weight, if we were concerned about color transfer, the texture, and when we tried to correct the color, it appeared uneven, and so on. Once I cleared the challenge, a new challenge appeared, and before I knew it, I was doing trial and error using dozens of pieces of raw hide. With the help of skilled craftsmen, after a long period of trial and error, we were able to create a texture that was suitable for the suede we had envisioned. The newly developed suede has a soft, elegant and smooth feel, and is specially tanned to prevent color transfer and resist water.

We have now created an ideal product that allows you to fully enjoy the natural texture of the leather without applying makeup such as pigments to the surface. Each piece is carefully hand-cut by a craftsman . Each piece of leather is carefully cut by hand.

The purpose of this process is to check the condition of each piece of fabric to avoid scratches, but another important thing is to assess the expression of the fabric. The hair on the sides is long and the back is short.

The craftsman's sense of understanding the condition of the leather shines because the individuality of each piece of leather determines which part of the pile should be lengthened or shortened based on its limited size.

This is often seen in leather products, but regardless of the design, there are unnecessary joints just to cut costs, and these often make them uncomfortable to wear.There is no reason to make products that are unsatisfactory just because of the cost. Since it doesn't fit, we eliminated unnecessary joints that have nothing to do with the design and used leather luxuriously.

All accessories such as buttons are original BONCOURA's original snap button The mold was created from scratch This is a manly masterpiece with attention to detail not only to the logo design on the outer material but also to the way the receiver is inserted and how it changes over time after being worn. .
