■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.

Oiled Vintage Steer

Tanned leather made from natural materials develops a unique texture and is described as having a "shiny undertone" the more it is used, but on the other hand, it has little stretch and elasticity, and is vulnerable to water, including rain.

On the other hand, chrome tanning does not have the same texture as tannin tanning, but it is soft, strong, and water resistant, making it suitable for clothing. In order to achieve both of these properties for "Oiled Vintage Steer", we have established a "de-chrome/mixed tanning" process in which after chrome tanning, half of the chrome content is removed and the leather is further tanned with tannin.

Furthermore, by adding a small amount of chrome tanning agent to the highly plastic tanned leather, we have increased its suppleness and physical durability, and by penetrating it with an appropriate amount of oil, combined with the aniline dye finish on the surface, we have created a unique texture that is more transparent and smooth.

As soon as you put it on, you can feel a sense of unity spreading around your body and a flexibility that retains the firmness that is characteristic of tannin.

- Notes about leather -

*Oiled vintage steer is a highly plastic leather. Please note that if there are any large wrinkles or scratches when trying on the item, it may not be possible to return it.

Just like with our skin, regular maintenance is important to prevent damage and keep leather products in good condition. Here we will introduce some self-maintenance methods to ensure you can enjoy your leather products for a long time.

(When using maintenance products such as cleaners or oils, always test on an inconspicuous area to make sure they do not cause stains or discoloration.)

Step 1

Use a horsehair brush to remove dirt and dust from the surface of the leather. Be sure to brush the seams as well. If the leather is very dirty, wipe it with a tightly wrung out wet towel.

Step 2

Take Ref / LEATHER CLEANER through the cloth until your fingers are slightly damp. When the cleaner has dried, soak the cloth with an appropriate amount again.

Step 3

Wipe the entire leather in several steps. This process will bring it closer to bare skin. Dirt and color will transfer to the cloth, but this is proof that the old oil and dirt have been removed.

Step 4

The finish can be either matte, natural or glossy depending on the oil characteristics, so please choose the oil according to your preference.

Step 5

Apply your chosen oil to the clean side of the cloth, using only small amounts of oil at a time.

Step 6

Apply the oil thinly, spreading it evenly over the entire leather. If there is not enough oil, add a little at a time.

Step 7

Brush the entire leather surface with a horsehair brush to allow the oil to soak in. For larger areas, it is more effective to use a larger brush. We recommend using a separate brush for dust removal.

Step 8

From here on, we will introduce a "step" that we recommend for those who want to pay more attention to the finish. Wipe the entire glove with the mouton side. Wiping it dry will remove any excess oil remaining on the surface and prevent stickiness.

We offer a specialized leather cleaning service called ``Refleather''.

What is Refresher?

The new common sense is to wash leather products before wearing them.

The traditional method of cleaning leather products in Japan has been dry cleaning using chlorinated solvents.

While this removes dirt, there are also cases in which the color fades and the oil content from the leather is removed, and using a fatliquoring agent to replace the lost fat content can result in an unnatural or unpleasant stickiness. There was a problem.

Ref Leather uses a special soap specifically for leather, and can be washed with water as well as dry. The important thing here is to remove dirt and replenish nutrients, including lost fat. This will restore suppleness and elasticity, allowing you to once again appreciate the gentleness and strength that leather originally possessed.

You can wash all kinds of leather products (genuine leather), including leather jackets, leather overalls, pants, coats, skirts, and boots. It is also possible to clean colored models that were avoided with conventional cleaning.
