A diagonal front closure and rough D-shaped pockets. A proper leather vest carrying the memory of 1940s motorcycle wear.
A distinctive front design born of pre-war American motorcycle culture. The closure running diagonally across the centre, and the roughly placed D-shaped flap pockets, shapes that came out of function, and became a look no one else has. Being a sleeveless vest, it goes over a shirt, inside a jacket, or under leather outerwear. The more you layer it, the more of a spine it runs through the way you stand.
【About the material】
Made in the tea-core goatskin (semi-vegetable-tanned) developed specially for the Classic series. The fine, dense fibre only goatskin has gives real strength, and semi-vegetable tanning gives natural ageing. The tea-core colour ages the more it is worn and, together with a natural vintage-feeling grain, grows into a deep character that differs on every piece.

■ About natural leather
This product is made of natural leather, so insect marks, healed scars, fine scratches, localised creasing or slack, and variation in pigment (uneven colour) may be visible. These are the differences from hide to hide that come with a natural material, not a quality problem. That every piece reads differently is exactly the appeal of real leather. Please order with this in mind.

The leather is unexpectedly soft. It works over a jacket, on its own, or underneath one — so my worrying over the size was for nothing. And there's barely any smell, which is good.

皮革出乎意料的柔软,穿在外套外没问题,单穿没问题,穿在外套里面也没问题,证明当时选尺码的时候多虑了,马甲的确没多少气味,很好。
