After the punk deconstruction of the early 2000s he turned towards patina, mending and the hand of the maker, and the leathers from that winter are among the most sought pieces of the whole archive. This blouson has also been singled out in Japanese media by the designer of Porter Classic as a personal favourite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is cut from soft lamb leather that was given its worn, broken-in finish at the factory, so the creasing and tonal variation across the body are original to the design rather than age. A tall pile collar can be worn up or folded, and the same dense pile lines the body. Two slanted lower pockets are trimmed with rows of small studs, a zip runs at each cuff and the back is cut with a seamed yoke and waist zip detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior carries the Undercoverism For Rebels label in orange on black, size 2, made in Japan by Under Cover. Undercoverism was the menswear line of that period, and its labels are a reliable marker of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 2 corresponds roughly to a men’s medium. It wears close and warm, with the collar framing the face. For a collector of Takahashi leathers, this is a cornerstone piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jun Takahashi for Undercoverism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn-Winter 2005, Arts and Crafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel \/ ref:\u003c\/strong\u003e Studded lamb leather blouson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lamb leather with pile collar and lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with aged vintage finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTagged size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jacket only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-owned archive piece of about twenty years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe aged, broken-in leather finish is original to the design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile collar and lining intact; studs present on both pocket trims.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed measurements and further close-up images available on request before purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eAB\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description.
