Today at FASCINATE_THE R (Shinsaibashi, Osaka), we are introducing FRACTION and featuring a leather jacket from their 25-26AW collection as the main styling piece.
We will also discuss the details of each item used in this styling, so please read until the end.

Minimalist Leather Blouson with Refined Design

Based on a short-length leather blouson, this design eliminates unnecessary details to highlight the quality of the material and the beauty of its silhouette.
Simply layering it over a light knit or cut-and-sew completes an effortlessly refined look. It pairs perfectly with a wide range of bottoms—from wide trousers and denim to slim pants—making it a highly versatile and practical piece.

The double zipper design allows opening from both the top and bottom, offering flexibility in styling and ease of movement.
In addition to the front pockets, an interior pocket provides excellent storage for everyday use.

The cuffs are finished with adjustable button closures, allowing you to control the wrist fit or roll up the sleeves.
Drawing inspiration from classic drizzler jackets, the design retains a structured collar and zip front, updated with premium leather craftsmanship for a contemporary and elegant impression.
Hardware features YKK EXCELLA® zippers for smooth operation and a touch of sophistication.

The silhouette adopts a slim, compact fit.
The short length maintains balanced proportions whether paired with wide or slim trousers. Slightly extended sleeves create subtle gathers at the wrists, accentuating the vertical line of the overall silhouette.

This jacket can also be layered under an overcoat during colder months.
When worn as an inner piece, the standing collar and straight front line maintain a neat, streamlined look.
To ensure mobility, underarm sections feature separate leather panels that prevent tightness when lifting or extending the arms.

The material used is high-quality kip shrink leather—derived from mid-aged cowhide (6 months to 2 years old).
Through a special shrink treatment, the leather fibers naturally tighten, forming a fine grain pattern.
This process gives the material both softness and resilience, while the texture helps conceal small scratches from daily wear.
Over time, the leather molds to the wearer’s body, developing a natural patina and deeper character. The subtle sheen and grain texture lend a luxurious and expressive finish.

The inner layer features a high-quality wool turtleneck knit.
Using ultra-fine wool fibers reduces itchiness and delivers a smooth, gentle touch against the skin.
The natural sheen and excellent heat retention of wool keep the neck warm and comfortable throughout the winter season.

The fit maintains a comfortable yet clean balance that doesn’t cling too closely to the body.
With slightly extended length in the hem and sleeves, it retains structure when worn alone, yet layers neatly under outerwear without excess bulk.
Its refined proportions and medium-weight fabric make it adaptable for layering with shirts, jackets, or cardigans.
A timeless staple combining premium texture, comfort, and versatility—an ideal addition to any winter wardrobe.

BT Trousers Featuring a Neat Look and Relaxed Silhouette

The BT trousers combine the clean appearance of slacks with a relaxed wearing comfort.
The fabric thickness ensures breathability without being excessively thin, allowing comfortable wear throughout spring, summer, and autumn.
A highly practical piece that adapts to a wide range of situations, from active scenes to everyday use.

The front design minimizes decorative elements, pursuing the brand’s minimalist aesthetic. However, the depth and angle of the tucks, and the stitching pitch, are all precisely calculated to create a refined and high-quality impression.
The side pockets are set at an angle that allows the hands to slide in easily and have sufficient depth for practicality.
In addition, the shape and attachment position of the pocket bags are carefully designed so that even when storing small items such as smartphones, the outer silhouette remains smooth and elegant without creating bulges.

The silhouette adopts a gently tapered line that keeps enough room around the thighs while gradually narrowing toward the hem.
This design makes the legs look neat when worn while ensuring comfort and ease of movement.
The narrow hem width allows easy pairing with both voluminous sneakers and dressy leather shoes, creating a clean impression at the feet.
Thanks to its well-balanced construction, it can be combined with various items and serves as a highly versatile piece for many styles.

The material is a cotton fabric blended with stretch fibers for excellent elasticity.
It stretches moderately to follow the wearer’s movements.
Thanks to this stretch property, walking, bending, or even sitting for long periods such as during desk work feels comfortable, with little tightness around the knees, providing a stress-free wearing experience.

For footwear, GUIDI’s iconic back zip boots were selected.
Based on the standard single-sole mid-length boots (model 988), this X-series model is made using a wider last. The product is dyed after construction using a technique called product tumbled dye, giving the leather a unique glossy and uneven expression with natural wrinkles and shading.
The upper is made with a whole-cut structure using a single piece of leather, minimizing seams. This approach not only highlights the natural drape and texture of the leather but also prevents seam pressure on the foot, allowing the leather to naturally conform to the wearer’s shape and provide a comfortable fit.
A pair that completes the overall styling with sophistication from the feet up.
