On the other hand, chrome-tanned leather is soft and comfortable to wear, but it does not age well.
However, STRUM's oil calf is a little different.
The process of tanning, drying method, and finishing design make the leather look shiny, shady, and original.
In this issue, we would like to show you how STRUM's oil calf actually grows through our staff's personal leather jacket!
The subject of this article is,
Oil calf ROM [DARK] double riders jacket.
STAFF KID is wearing it.
He has been wearing it for 4 months.
Can a chrome-tanned leather jacket show any change over time in just 4 months?
Let's take a look at how KID, who is also a guitarist, has changed his jacket.
Before | After
The first thing that catches the eye is the deep sleeve wrinkles on both arms.
The wrinkles are not just the result of hard wear, but they are firmly fixed as marks from the movement of the leather.
In addition, the leather around the front zipper and pockets has a three-dimensional appearance, which is clearly different from the flat look it had when it was new.

The overall impression is that the luster has increased and the shadows are clearly stronger.
Although it is all black, the way the light hits the jacket creates shades of gray, giving it a depth that is typical of leather jackets.
The left shoulder is slightly elongated due to the guitar strap.
It is a reflection of the life of Kid, who is also a guitarist.

ROM" is a model designed for everyday wear, based on the details of the American jacket, but with the sharp and mode atmosphere unique to the Long-Jan.
Instead of the action pleats commonly used in American jackets, gussets are placed on the sides to secure the range of motion. It is finished with a sleeker, more modern pattern, providing both ease of movement and a sophisticated look.
What STAFF KID's ROM shows this time is that leather jackets change not by the number of years but by the way they are worn.
Even if it is only 4 months old, if you wear it well and move it around, the leather will respond.
The potential of the oil calf material and STRUM's goal of "the original beauty of leather" are both present in this jacket.
Both of them are naturally beginning to be imprinted on this piece of clothing.
What kind of expression will it develop further in the future?
That is another thing to look forward to.
