D.HYGEN | The “beautiful tension” of horse leather. A lightweight, supple horse-leather jacket
Hose Leather Hood Attached Jacket （Black）/ ST105-0225A
Crafted from luxurious 1.1mm full-vegetable-tanned horse leather, this down jacket embodies a fascinating contradiction: a visually heavy, imposing appearance contrasted by an unexpectedly lightweight, soft, and thin feel in actual wear. The leather gradually molds to the body over time, allowing the wearer to enjoy a rich patina and beautifully evolving texture. The silhouette features D.HYGEN’s signature short length and long sleeves, forming a sharp, slim profile.
Despite its streamlined shape, the jacket carries an overwhelming presence thanks to the brand’s innovative pattern-making. The body and sleeves are cut from a single piece, with the elbow constructed three-dimensionally to remove tension and encourage natural curvature. D.HYGEN’s mastery of structural design is evident throughout. In terms of design, the detachable hood incorporates a built-in visor and chin tab, creating a layered ensemble of intricate details. The garment-dyed finish enhances the leather’s natural sheen, adding depth and an alluringly decadent mood. Zipper details at the sleeves add further impact, underscoring that this jacket is far more than outerwear — it is a piece that embodies the brand’s philosophy and aesthetic with striking clarity.
Horse Leather Cropped W Riders Jacket （Black）/ ST105-0325A
A horse-leather jacket that embodies D.HYGEN’s signature approach: deconstructing basic styles and rebuilding them through innovative pattern-making. The material is full vegetable-tanned horse leather, which, despite its heavy and robust appearance, feels lightweight, soft, and thin to the touch. The more it is worn, the more the leather molds to the body, offering an exceptionally refined texture. The body and sleeves are constructed from a single piece, with the elbow shaped three-dimensionally to remove tension—an intricate pattern structure that provides both ease of movement and a commanding presence, all within a slim silhouette.
A key feature is its short body length, creating a distinctive look while making it easy to layer under various coats and outerwear pieces. It is a highly versatile item that “works effortlessly in layered styling.” A garment-dyed finish adds a unique texture and a subtle sheen to the leather surface. Every detail serves as an accent—the sleeve zippers, the three-dimensional elbow construction, and more—all capturing the brand’s philosophy down to the smallest elements. This is a jacket that distills D.HYGEN’s aesthetic and technical mastery into a single, remarkable piece.
DEVOA | Inheriting Tuscan Tradition: The Deep Luster of Pit-Tanned “Vachetta Leather”
Leather Jacket Loose Fit （BLACK）/ JKE-CCLB
This leather jacket features DEVOA’s signature pattern-making, engineered around human anatomy, and comes with a clean, minimal collar design. Its defining characteristic lies in the material: a rare vachetta leather produced by the renowned Italian tannery CONCERIA. This leather is created using the traditional pit-tanning method, an extremely time-consuming process historically practiced in Tuscany and carried into the modern era through refined craftsmanship. The result is a material with unmatched depth, quality, and heritage. The leather is adjusted to a thickness of 0.9 mm, giving it a visually substantial appearance while remaining surprisingly lightweight with a soft, moist hand feel. Paired with cashmere-blend ribbing that feels exceptionally smooth against the skin, it delivers a luxurious wearing experience.
Over time, the leather molds to the body and develops a deeper sheen, offering the pleasure of remarkable patina and aging. The silhouette is a relaxed loose fit with intentional volume, yet the compact body length sharpens the overall impression and keeps the style modern. Functional details include flap pockets at the sides and a double-zip front with EXCELLA zippers. Within its understated and effortless look, the jacket is filled with practical and thoughtful design elements—a piece that fully embodies DEVOA’s meticulous craftsmanship and artistic sensibility.
The Viridi-anne | Hybrid Tanning and Evolving Patina: Rugged Design Meets Refined Minimalism
Oil Horse Leather Jacket （BLACK）/ VI-3889-06
This collared leather jacket embodies The Viridi-anne’s signature pattern-making fused with a refined minimal design. The material used is an oil-rich, substantial yet supple horse leather. This leather undergoes a hybrid tanning process, giving it a unique characteristic: as the surface grain gradually compresses, it develops new textures and expressions over time. With continued wear, the leather conforms to the body and gains a deeper, richer sheen—allowing the wearer to enjoy an evolving patina. Despite its sturdy appearance, the hand feel is lightweight, moist, and smooth, with a naturally fine grain preserved to maintain a raw, rugged presence that aligns perfectly with the jacket’s austere aesthetic.
The silhouette is designed with a slightly boxy, square-like shape, offering a relaxed width while still maintaining an approachable, true-to-size fit. The pattern is engineered to secure a wide range of motion, making the jacket significantly more comfortable than its tough look suggests. Functional details drawn from classic rider jackets—such as the double-zip front, waist belt, and zippered side vents—add depth to the design. The interior features a lightly padded quilted lining, providing added insulation and making this piece suitable for long-term, all-season use. A thoughtful balance of ruggedness, minimalism, and practicality, this jacket reflects the essence of The Viridi-anne’s craftsmanship.
FRACTION | Unique Texture Born from Shrink Processing: The Character of “Kip Shrink” Leather
Lou R Jacket （Black）/ FM25FW102KSL
This short-length leather jacket brings together FRACTION’s signature complex, meticulously engineered pattern-making with a clean, minimal design. The material is a premium kip leather, known for its fine and uniform grain. Using a special chemical treatment, the leather undergoes a natural shrink-processing technique, giving rise to an irregular, matte surface with rich grain patterns. This unique texture balances sophistication with depth, while the subtle pebbling also helps hide minor scratches and scuffs—making it particularly practical for everyday wear.
The hand feel is lightweight, thin, and luxuriously supple, with the leather becoming increasingly pliable and comfortable as it molds to the wearer’s hands and body over time. The silhouette is slim through the body and sleeves, yet carefully calibrated to deliver a comfortable true-to-size fit. By designing the jacket with a cropped length, it pairs seamlessly with a wide range of trousers—from wide silhouettes to slim cuts—and can also be used effectively as a layering piece under a coat during colder months. While maintaining a normcore-inspired understated aesthetic, fine details such as the tonal stitchwork showcase the brand’s precise craftsmanship. A thoughtful blend of versatility, refined texture, and technical construction, this jacket embodies the essence of FRACTION’s design language.
ddaisuke tanabe | Ever-Changing “Vintage Green.” LWG Gold–Certified Leather That Ages Beautifully
pluto Calf Leather Jacket （Vintage Green）/ 02_806
This biker jacket embodies the distinctly original design language of daisuke tanabe, combining a minimalist presence with bold paneling. Deeply tied to the theme of Season 02 “syvash,” the color “Vintage Green” represents a uniquely weathered tone—an interplay of positive, vibrant greens and the muted greens of military wear. The result is a complex, timeworn hue that subtly shifts with light and wear.
The material is a vegetable-tanned calf leather produced by INCAS in Italy, certified with the highest environmental rating, LWG Gold. Its hand feel is thick, supple, and matte, gradually developing a richer sheen and deeper color as it ages. Because the natural pores of the leather remain unsealed, it maintains excellent breathability, while organic marks such as small scratches or wrinkles are preserved as part of the material’s inherent character. The silhouette features a slightly elongated length with a relaxed width, allowing you to layer without concern for bulk. Distinctive details—such as the three-dimensional cargo pockets constructed with suede gussets, riri zippers, and intentionally crafted distressing—blend classic rider-jacket cues with a contemporary, rugged sensibility. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece that merges artisanal texture with modern refinement.
MMaison MIHARA YASUHIRO | Playful Oversized Zippers. A Space-Suit-Like Volume in Vegan Leather
Vegan Boa Leather Jacket / A15BL071
This vegan leather jacket features the playful yet highly directional aesthetics characteristic of Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO. Inspired by classic winter outerwear such as B-3 flight jackets, the piece is defined by the brand’s iconic oversized front zipper—dramatically larger than conventional zippers. This exaggerated hardware creates a toy-like pop sensibility while also introducing a striking sense of modern distortion, forming the visual centerpiece of the design. The jacket is crafted from high-quality synthetic leather. Compared to genuine leather, this vegan leather is lighter in weight, easier to maintain, and more resistant to water—delivering strong practicality without sacrificing appearance.
The surface is finished with a coating and vintage processing to produce a matte, substantial look with depth, avoiding the flatness often associated with synthetic materials. The hand feel is smooth with a subtle sheen and a slightly slick finish. Inside, the jacket is fully lined with faux-mouton boa fleece, which peeks out from the collar and cuffs, becoming a visual accent while providing exceptional insulation and wind protection suitable for mid-winter temperatures. With generous width and spacious armholes, the silhouette delivers a bold, space-suit-like volume, ensuring comfort even when layered over chunky winter knits.
KAMIYA | A Streetwear Classic Reimagined in Leather. Gold Hardware Elevates the “Adult” Coach Jacket
Leather Coach Jacket （Black）/ G15BL012
This piece reinterprets the classic coach jacket—a staple in streetwear—through the refined lens of KAMIYA, using luxurious cow leather to elevate the silhouette. While drawing heavily from the designer’s personal affinity for vintage aesthetics, the jacket incorporates modern street and mode sensibilities, resulting in a contemporary yet timeless expression. Crafted from cow leather with a subtle sheen and soft hand feel, the material strikes a balance between durability, supple texture, and fine natural grain.
The leather’s inherent pebbled surface adds depth without overwhelming the minimalist structure. Along the front, the use of gold-tone snap buttons introduces a striking contrast against the black leather, adding both a rugged edge and a refined, luxurious accent—setting it apart from standard nylon coach jackets. Thoughtful tailoring details include shoulder darts at the back, which enhance mobility and create a more dimensional form when worn. The silhouette is based on an oversized pattern, yet it settles into a clean, grounded boxy shape that feels almost “true to size” when styled. A drawcord at the hem allows for silhouette adjustment—whether adding roundness for styling variation or tightening for wind protection—making the jacket highly functional and suitable for extended seasonal wear.
LAST NEST | A Track Jacket You Can Wear Like Jersey. Street-Minded Faux Leather With a Sleek Shine
Faux Leather Track Jacket （Black）/ LASTNEST-23
This track jacket from LAST NEST is crafted from a leather-touch faux leather material with a refined, lustrous finish. While inherently a sporty item, its elegant sheen and elevated texture give it a distinctly mode-inspired presence. The lightweight, water-resistant faux leather offers the look of genuine leather, yet the actual hand feel is soft and resilient—allowing the jacket to be worn with the ease and comfort of a jersey. Piping lines running from the sleeves down to the hem emphasize the brand’s signature linear construction. The interior is fully lined, creating a firm structure that maintains its clean shape even when layered.
Though designed with a slightly elongated and relaxed silhouette, the ribbed cuffs and hem add definition, balancing style with practical function. Ample mobility is ensured through its patterning, making it a highly wearable piece. Paired with the matching pants in the same material, the set-up creates a bold, cohesive look that shines particularly well in nighttime street settings—offering a versatile and contemporary addition to any wardrobe.
