The main leather is carefully selected North American steer hide. After chrome tanning, 3M™ waterproofing agents are added during the dyeing process, allowing the treatment to penetrate deep into the leather fibers.
Because the waterproofing penetrates to the core, it continuously prevents the intrusion of water and oil not only on the surface, but also from the reverse side, edges, and even scratched areas.
A generous amount of specialized waterproof oil is infused to achieve an exceptionally soft and supple touch, while the surface is finished with a fine grain reminiscent of kip leather.
This ultimate soft smooth leather can only be achieved through perfect balance in tanning, dyeing, and oil formulation.
The leather has passed the “SCOTCHGARD®” monitoring test, providing water, oil, and stain resistance (including resistance to fingerprints). The test is conducted even after abrading the surface, ensuring the performance does not diminish over time.
Auxiliary materials use INVISTA’s 1680D CORDURA® ballistic nylon, offering approximately five times the abrasion resistance, tear strength, and durability of standard nylon. A PVC coating on the reverse further enhances strength and waterproof performance.
The webbing is woven from hollow-core nylon yarn, making it approximately 20% lighter than conventional tape. The lining features an original jacquard fabric with the master-piece logo.
The front pocket zipper uses YKK EXCELLA®, with each element meticulously polished. The main zipper is a reverse coil zipper by YKK with a water-repellent finish.
Additionally, YKK AquaGuard® zippers are partially used to provide water resistance. By combining waterproof leather with high-strength CORDURA® ballistic nylon, this series embodies an urban-outdoor concept with refined functionality and elegance.
