Selection of sheepskin
Motorcycle and everyday crossovers
The leather jacket as a motorcycle riding gear has always been selected from materials that emphasize durability and protection. Therefore, KADOYA has mainly adopted cowhide and goat leather that can withstand the severe conditions of motorcycles. However, as well as riding a motorcycle, there were issues such as weight and hardness as a wear that can be worn stylishly in everyday life. So,"Motorcycle and daily crossover"The concept was the lineup of jackets using a newly developed sheepskin this season.
The charm of sheepskin
Sheepskins are lighter and softer than cowhide and goat leather, and are very comfortable to wear. Because it is easy to flexate and fits the body, it can be worn without discomfort even after getting off the bike.
KADOYA products use 1.1 to 1.2 mm sheepskin thicker than those used in general apparel products. As a result, the material strength is increased and the fluttering during riding is minimized.
And the unique gloss and texture emphasizes elegance and luxury even with simple coordination.
Both functionality and design
The sheepskin jacket uses a design suitable for everyday use without impairing the functionality as a motorcycle wear.
Protector -compatible models ( *) can be attached to the elbow and shoulders, ensuring the safety of riding, and removing the protector lightly when used on a daily basis.
One of the attractions is the versatility that can be worn on a motorcycle or in streetwear.
* Protector compatible products: Leather Tracker Jacket / Leather Coach Jacket
* Protector-free products: Stallion / L-Stadium Blouson
Recommended for such people
Sheepskin, which is very flexible and light compared to cowhide and goat skin, is especially recommended for those who value comfort and town use.
Conversely, the tear strength and wear resistance are inferior to other leather, so a more robust cowhide jacket is recommended for hard riding applications.
Two types of sheepskin with different characteristics
Two types of leather are used for each item depending on their characteristics: 1.2mm thick chrome-tanned smooth sheepskin with a smooth and glossy surface, and vegetable tanned sheepskin that makes the most of the natural texture of the leather.
Even if it is the same sheepskin, the tanning process can produce different finishes, which is one of the joys of leather.
Please come to a KADOYA store and actually pick it up and feel the difference in texture.
