Born in Asakusa, the techniques have been refined and are under strict quality control.
KADOYA began in 1935 as a small factory in Asakusa, Tokyo. Each leather jacket is carefully crafted by hand, using only the highest quality leather, carefully selected by leather craftsmen whose skills have been passed down through generations. It is not just clothing, but a "partner" that is nurtured over time, and a "proof of life" that is loved for a long time.
But there's another story in the world of thorough quality control.
Parts that cannot be made into leather jackets
At KADOYA's headquarters factory, where strict quality control is carried out, each piece of leather is carefully selected and only the highest quality parts are used to manufacture leather jackets.
Naturally, some leather will be used for leather jackets and some will be discarded. Previously, parts of leather that did not meet the standards were disposed of.
So the craftsmen asked themselves, "Is there any way we can breathe new life into this leather?" And from the moment this question was born, the story of the scrap leather began.
Craftsmen's thoughts on leather
The craftsmen's deep love for leather and their sense of waste were united in their aim to add new value to scrap leather.
In 2010, we launched the "KM Series" of leather accessories made from scraps of leather jackets.
Using the scraps of high-quality leather used in our leather jackets, we offer a lineup of affordable yet luxurious products.

How craftsmen at the KADOYA headquarters factory work with leather
[NEW ITEM] Leather cushion
■Design
The HEAD FACTORY series is manufactured in KADOYA's own factory. This special leather cushion was created by reusing the scraps of leather that inevitably come out during the manufacturing process. High-quality Nordic cowhide is carefully tanned at a Japanese tanning factory and finished with thick, wild threads. It is a one-of-a-kind design with two faces, combining elegance and wildness like a biker wallet. With consideration for the environment, scraps and small pieces of leather that could not be used for leather jackets are effectively utilized. This is a high-quality handmade product carefully crafted one by one by Japanese craftsmen.
■Product Features: Environmentally friendly, produced using scrap leather and leather that is too small to be used for a leather jacket.
- Made in Japan - Available in two sizes: 30cm x 30cm and 45cm x 45cm
■Material Surface: Oiled vintage steer Cushion material: 100% polyester
■Notes
Due to the coloring (dyes and pigments) and finishing that are carefully designed to preserve the leather's texture, color may fade or transfer due to friction, exposure to water, prolonged contact, etc. Please be especially careful when wearing light-colored clothing.
