Make your first leather jacket a YOUSED.

Hello, this is Hiroki from the Mr. OLDMAN staff!
I can't stop buying autumn items, haha.
Among them, I'd like to introduce the annually popular "YOUSED Arrival" remake leather fishing jacket, which has just arrived.

 

When people think of leather jackets, they usually imagine the triple threat of "heavy, stiff and short, and expensive."

I often hear from my generation that they feel leather gives off a vibe for older age groups, and that it’s too intimidating to try!

Actually, I felt that way myself, haha.

The first leather jacket that someone like me tried was this YOUSED remake leather fishing jacket.

For those in my generation who don't have a leather jacket yet,
I really want you to read this article and give it a try!!

So, what is YOUSED!?

It is a brand that takes vintage wear collected from all over the world, disassembles it, and combines materials from different garments to create completely new clothing.

Even with the same model, every item is a one-of-a-kind piece, with different looks and textures for each part.

Lavishly using Euro leather

This fishing jacket is reconstructed after gathering and disassembling jackets that used Italian leather, which is known as a premium leather.

Euro leather is characterized by being light, soft, and having a beautiful sheen.

YOUSED is committed to using only Euro leather for their jackets, making them unbelievably light—so light, in fact, that it's surprising for a leather jacket.

Furthermore, because the leather was previously used as part of a leather jacket, it has already undergone aging, which contributes to its comfortable fit.

Based on a classic fishing jacket.

Based on a classic fishing jacket from a Royal Warrant outdoor brand, it features a trendy, wide-body, short-length silhouette.

With its wide width and room in the shoulder area, it can be styled with T-shirts or collared shirts in early spring.
During colder times, you can also layer hoodies or sweatshirts underneath, so you can enjoy wearing it over a long season.

Since it's based on an outdoor jacket, it also has plenty of pockets for storage.

What surprised me the most was the pocket on the back.

I find it really useful for putting in a water bottle or small purchases when I’m out on my motorcycle, haha.

I don't think photos really do it justice, so I’ve included a video of it being worn—please check it out!

The strength of remade leather

This jacket uses plenty of remade Euro leather!

The surprising part is the price: 39,380 yen (tax included).

This price is only possible because it is remade leather.

Since it is remade leather, there are individual differences in the material, so I hope you will check the condition of the product before purchasing.

Make your first leather jacket a YOUSED one.

 

 

It's been about two years since I bought mine.
I use it as an aging sample in the shop,
and people always tell me the shine is amazing.

I don’t do any special maintenance; I just brush it occasionally.

I think not having to worry too much about handling is a point that leather beginners will appreciate.

Personally, I love pairing it with denim, of course,
but I often wear it with baker pants.

Because of the short length, I think it balances well with wider work pants!

I don't think there's any other leather jacket this easy to try.

I focused on the fishing jacket this time, but they have released various other models, so I would be happy if you checked those out as well!
Definitely make your first leather jacket purchase a great one.
