Road trip, the real deal
Editor K's Business Trip Report
On the day of the business trip, it happened to rain.
I wondered if the leather would be okay, but it was an unnecessary worry.
It draped over my body much more smoothly than I expected, and movement was comfortable. In fact, the cloudy gray sky made the subtle texture of the leather stand out even more. It was a day where I truly felt how stylish leather could be, even on a rainy day.
I usually pack as lightly as possible for business trips. Even though it was folded in my carry-on throughout the flight, when I shook it out and put it on, it had that naturally broken-in feel.
It was also impressive how just one outer garment could create such a distinct impression. I was able to experience firsthand during this business trip that real leather gets more stylish the more you wear it.

It's crafted from shrunken lambskin. Specifically, we used a 'Dobby' type of leather.
The biggest appeal of this leather is that it minimizes artificial coatings, preserving the natural texture and character of the leather itself. From the moment you first touch it, you'll feel its natural texture, and you can also look forward to the subtle aging process as you use it.
This material pairs beautifully with the vintage safari design, naturally bringing out a charm that makes a new item feel like a cherished old favorite. If you appreciate leather that becomes more distinguished with time, you'll be satisfied.

This leather may feel a bit stiff at first touch. But that's its charm. The more you wear it, the more naturally it molds to your body, and over time, it develops an increasingly vintage look.
Its processing method is also a bit special. Instead of the commonly used chrome, we used vegetable powder to complete it in a more environmentally friendly way.
Another thing I liked was the change after washing. Natural shrinkage occurs, expressing a much deeper worn-in, vintage feel. It's a new garment, but it has the feel of something already beautifully broken in from the start—this is the greatest charm of this leather.
