With highs around 22°C and lows around 18°C, the daytime heat has subsided, and the season has finally arrived to enjoy outfits centered around a leather jacket.
This time, I'm wearing the HI-FLYER and JUDE, which have just arrived in stock.
Both models are crafted using full-vegetable-tanned, shrunk Italian double-shoulder leather, characterized by its thick, natural grain.
We’re introducing three leather jacket styles suited for autumn temperatures—ranging from looks featuring a turtleneck or hoodie underneath to an all-black ensemble with the jacket zipped up.
A dark-toned look centered around the "HI-FLYER" double rider's jacket, coordinated in black and dark gray.
The HI-FLYER incorporates numerous details, such as an unconventional pocket layout inspired by vintage designs and a stand-up collar with wind-blocking features.
By positioning the textured grain of the thick double-shoulder leather to wrap around the entire body—including the center of the back and the sleeves—the leather's natural scars and unique character stand out, even in an all-black design.
Pairing it with a dark gray turtleneck knit top—allowing it to peek out from the collar of the biker jacket—creates an autumnal look.
This styling pairs "Pistol Pants" in black and gray with "TRASH" footwear; it keeps the color palette restrained to highlight the details of the "HI-FLYER" and the texture of the leather.

A style pairing the HI-FLYER with a "greige" double-knit hoodie, creating a striking contrast against the black.
By prominently displaying the "GRAIGE" color at the front of the rider's jacket and layering a hood at the neckline, a sense of lightness is added to the dark-toned base.
The hoodie is made from a three-layer "danboru" (spacer) knit fabric that traps air within its structure. While lightweight, it offers excellent heat retention and is characterized by a smooth texture and a firm, resilient feel.
For the bottoms, black "Skinny John 2" jeans are paired to create a slim silhouette that contrasts with the layered look of the upper body. Black "Trash" shoes tie the look together, allowing the greige inner layer to stand out.

The JUDE is a single rider's jacket that pursues simplicity—in contrast to the HI-FLYER—while utilizing the same double-shoulder leather.
The front zipper is concealed by a placket, and the sleeve zippers feature a hidden design. Stitching is kept to a minimum on the exterior, resulting in a clean, solid look.
For this look, the front is fastened all the way up, highlighting JUDE's clean silhouette and the texture of the leather grain.
For the bottoms, the slim-fitting TIGHT JOE2 is paired with TRASH footwear, creating an all-black look.
This is an all-black autumn look that highlights the minimalist design and fitted silhouette of the JUDE.
