Hello! It’s Haru, a fashion geek!
Our POP UP event ended yesterday,
but the AW season is only
going to heat up from here!
New items are arriving one after another,
but the reality is that they disappear
before I even have time to introduce them.
The item I’m planning to talk about today
is also one that a certain regular customer has their eye on,
so it will likely be gone by the end of this month.
It’s a captivating item that would especially
entice the men out there with its coolness.
That would be...
blurhms
-Steer Leather Coverall-
“blurhms... you’ve really done it this time.”
This is the ultimate leather jacket
that leaves me no choice but to say that.
It is one of blurhms’ signature items,
and it’s a piece that impresses true fashion lovers
by disappearing early every single season.
We’ve handled leathers in various materials
at sign this season, but among them all,
the leather from blurhms feels
uniquely and strongly “leather-like.”
The texture and sense of gravitas
that the leather itself possesses.
And the way its expression gradually
deepens the more you wear it.
Rather than relying on flashy embellishments,
this is a leather that allows you to fully enjoy
the inherent charm of the material itself.
To begin with, are you all familiar
with steer leather?
Steer leather is a representative
type of cowhide.
Among the items currently in the shop,
ssstein’s "CALF ZIP SHORT
JACKET(ST.1550)" is also cowhide, but it uses
calfskin, which comes from calves
under six months old—
a material prized for being softer than regular leather,
with a fine grain and a beautiful luster.
Steer leather, on the other hand,
is from bulls that have passed the two-year mark,
but they have been castrated
between 3 to 6 months of age
for culinary purposes.
Because they grow up calmly,
the leather quality is softer than that of
uncastrated bulls, and steer leather
is characterized by its uniform thickness
and solid, substantial feel.
With hundreds of types of leather in the world,
it is truly like blurhms to choose this one.
With its substantial thickness and firmness,
steer leather increases in character with every wear,
allowing you to enjoy the process of “breaking it in”
more than other types of leather.
It creates a unique atmosphere where the textured
grain and the leather's inherent presence overlap
in a way that sheep or lamb skin just can’t replicate.
A common trait of blurhms items is that
the more you use them, the more they evolve from
brand-new clothing into vintage pieces.
They have “breathing room” to accept
that transition.
Just like aging, the clothing evolves over time
into a one-of-a-kind piece just for you.
Because blurhms specializes in clothing that
stays close to your daily life and evolves
alongside the wearer, I believe they chose
steer leather and distilled it into a design
that is basic and enjoyable for years to come.
This is truly a piece you can be with for life.
Since I can say that with certainty about
leather items, why not look past its current value
and imagine how it will grow with you
into the future?
It’s worth choosing a piece with that
kind of future in mind.
Please come and try it on!
