What is a vintage steer?

Tannin tanning using natural materials is said to have a texture that becomes more glossy the more it is used.

Chrome tanning, on the other hand, does not have as much texture as tannin, but it is soft, strong, water resistant and suitable for clothing. In order to achieve both of these, "Vintage Steer" has established "de-chromium/mixed tanning" in which half of the chromium component is removed after chrome tanning, and tannin tanning is performed.

You can feel the sense of unity that spreads to your body from the first time you wear it, and the suppleness and sitting that leave the waist peculiar to tannin. It is characterized by the squeaking sound that is unique to tannin tanning, which you can hear when you try it on.

It has a tasteful finish that reproduces the ancient teachings of leather to shape the habits of the body.

- Notes on leather -

* Vintage steer is leather with high plasticity. Please note that if there are large wrinkles or scratches when trying on the item, it may not be possible to return the item.

In order to prevent damage and improve the condition, it is important to take care of it on a regular basis, just like our skin. Here, we will introduce a self-maintenance method for using leather products for a long time.

(When using maintenance agents such as cleaners and oils, be sure to test in an inconspicuous area and confirm that there is no staining or discoloration before using.)

step 1

Use a horsehair brush to remove dirt and dust from the surface of the leather. Don't forget to brush the seams as well. If the stain is severe, wipe the leather surface with a wet towel that has been tightly wrung out.

step 2

Remove the Ref / LEATHER CLEANER through the cloth (cloth) until your fingers are slightly damp. When the cleaner dries, apply an appropriate amount to the cloth again.

step 3

Wipe the entire leather in several batches. By doing this work, you can get closer to the state of no makeup on your skin. Dirt and color are transferred to the cloth, but this is proof that the old oil and dirt that has migrated have been removed.

step 4

The finish is divided into matte finish, natural finish, and glossy finish depending on the oil characteristics, so please choose the oil you like.

step 5

Apply the oil of your choice to the clean side of the cloth. Take small amounts of oil.

step 6

Apply the oil while spreading it thinly so that it fits the entire leather. If you don't have enough oil, add little by little.

Step 7

Brush the entire leather with a horsehair brush to absorb the nutrients of the oil. For large areas, it is efficient to use a large brush. At that time, we recommend using a brush different from the dust remover.

Step 8

From here, I would like to recommend "one effort" for those who want to be more particular about finishing. Wipe the whole with the mouton side of the mouton glove. By wiping with a dry cloth, excess oil remaining on the surface is removed to prevent stickiness.

We offer a leather cleaning service called Refleather.

What is a refresher?

It is a new common sense to wash and wear leather products.

In Japan, dry cleaning using chlorinated solvents has been the main method of cleaning leather products.

While this removes dirt, there are also cases where the color fades and the oil of the leather is removed. I had a problem.

Refleather uses a special soap for leather, which can be washed with water in addition to being dry. The important thing here is to remove the dirt and supplement the nutrients including the lost fat. As a result, the suppleness and elasticity are restored, and you should be able to feel the gentleness and strength that the original leather had.

All leather products (genuine leather) such as leather jackets, leather jumpsuits, pants, coats, skirts, and boots can be washed. It is also possible to clean color scheme models that were avoided in conventional cleaning.

Founded in 1935, in Asakusa, Tokyo, we have continuously nurtured our craftsmanship in making leather jackets.

This commitment is our proud philosophy that plays a part in Japanese manufacturing. The origin of HEAD FACTORY is the "skill" and "enthusiasm" cultivated by Kadoya craftsmen.

And this is my thoughts to all those who love leather jackets and motorcycles. We continue to create clothes that can be worn for generations without being swept away by the times.

HEAD FACTORY KADOYA MADE IN JAPAN

Embracing the craftsmen's passion in the brand tag, Kadoya's path to "better manufacturing"

the night before

Kadoya's craftsmen, who have been making leather jackets for a long time as a made-to-order leather shop, have accumulated technology that can respond to all needs over time.

As the world entered an era of mass production and mass consumption, the trend shifted toward ready-made clothes. In the midst of turbulent times, the skilled craftsmen led by Masataka Fukano, the second generation of the company, continued the custom-made production, while behind the scenes the development of ready-made clothes also started.

In 2003, the domestic brand "HEAD FACTORY", which was particular about "sewing one piece per person" as if going against the times, was transposed to the production of ready-made clothes. It was launched at the factory in the head office building in Asakusa.
