・

By wearing it as an outer layer or layering it underneath,
you can achieve completely different looks.

・

This jacket was created as a basic suede jacket, based on the silhouette of the LEVI'S 70502XX 1st type, with refined details.

・

Characteristics of Horsehide Suede

・Extremely flexible

・Less stretch compared to cowhide, making it easier to maintain its shape

・Maintains its firmness and resists losing shape even with age and use

・Combines lightness and durability, and is easy to care for

・

By giving the armholes ample room, you won't experience

the stress typical of leather jackets, even when bending your arms.

・

I tried wearing the suede jacket myself.

Worn as an outer layer over a flannel shirt.

Paired with wide-leg, straight-cut pants,

I aimed for a casual yet refined impression.

・

Layered with a quilted jacket underneath.

When layered, the quilted jacket appears to be the main piece,

but the visible suede jacket creates a clean look,

making it far from a supporting role.

・

The above is just one example, but

please enjoy styling it in your own way.

・

While horsehide suede can scratch easily,

its toughness allows it to be worn for many years,

which is its appeal.

With repeated wear, it will develop a unique character

through aging that is different from when it was new.

The jacket is made in versatile colors like BEIGE and NAVY,

so if you're ever unsure about styling,

this jacket will come to your rescue.

Why not make it your own

unique piece?

I'm sure it will become a special piece

with each passing year.
