■Design Goatskin, with its rich fiber structure, is strong, lightweight, and highly resistant to surface friction, making it ideal for the environment in which rider jackets are placed. However, it is not uncommon for the surface area and thickness of a single piece of raw hide to fall short of the ideal. However, this difficult challenge of establishing a stable procurement route for raw hides that met the requirements was overcome through cooperation with an affiliated tanner, and this is where the development of (HFGOAT) began. A unique grained texture is expressed through shrink processing, which brings out the natural, wild character of the raw hide.

The deep hues dyed with natural materials are sprayed with a minimal amount of pigment to enhance lightfastness, fading, and abrasion resistance, enhancing surface strength while preserving the rich texture. A laborious method of adding tannins midway through the chrome tanning process results in a firm, sticky feel, ultimately transforming the goatskin's inherent resistance to aging into something even more rewarding to develop. The HF "N-1" is based on a deck crew jacket, incorporating elements of a rider's jacket throughout. The combination of a relaxed bodyline and lightweight HF GOAT creates a comfortable fit, while the naturally forming air layer envelops the body in warmth.

HF-GOAT
Goatskin is strong, lightweight, and highly resistant to surface friction. However, the surface area and thickness of a single piece of raw hide often fall short of the ideal size for a rider's jacket. This challenge was overcome in collaboration with a partner tanner. A unique grained texture is achieved through shrink processing, which brings out the natural, wild character of the hide. The deep colors dyed with natural materials are then sprayed with a minimal amount of pigment, further enhancing lightfastness, fading, and abrasion resistance, while also creating a firm, sticky feel. This transforms the goatskin's inherent resistance to aging into something even more rewarding to cultivate.

How to choose size

* Due to the riding pattern, the sleeves may feel long.
*If the material is leather, the sleeve length will be shortened by 1-2 cm.
* If you are concerned about the length of the sleeves, it is possible to shorten the sleeves for an additional fee.

HF Goat

Goatskin is tough, lightweight, and has high strength against surface friction . However, in many cases, the area and thickness of a single piece of raw leather fall short of the ideal rider's jacket.

We solved this problem by working with our affiliated tanners. A shrink process that brings out the unique characteristics of raw leather and its wild, natural look creates a unique texture.

The deep colors dyed with natural materials are sprayed with the minimum amount of pigment necessary to further improve light fastness, fading, and abrasion fastness, as well as a sticky and firm feel that makes it difficult to notice changes over time on the surface.

Just like with our skin, regular maintenance is important to prevent damage and keep leather products in good condition. Here we will introduce some self-maintenance methods to ensure you can enjoy your leather products for a long time.

(When using maintenance products such as cleaners or oils, always test on an inconspicuous area to make sure they do not cause stains or discoloration.)

Step 1

Use a horsehair brush to remove dirt and dust from the surface of the leather. Be sure to brush the seams as well. If the leather is very dirty, wipe it with a tightly wrung out wet towel.

Step 2

Take Ref / LEATHER CLEANER through the cloth until your fingers are slightly damp. When the cleaner has dried, soak the cloth with an appropriate amount again.

Step 3

Wipe the entire leather in several steps. This process will bring it closer to bare skin. Dirt and color will transfer to the cloth, but this is proof that the old oil and dirt have been removed.

Step 4

The finish can be either matte, natural or glossy depending on the oil characteristics, so please choose the oil according to your preference.

Step 5

Apply your chosen oil to the clean side of the cloth, using only small amounts of oil at a time.

Step 6

Apply the oil thinly, spreading it evenly over the entire leather. If there is not enough oil, add a little at a time.

Step 7

Brush the entire leather surface with a horsehair brush to allow the oil to soak in. For larger areas, it is more effective to use a larger brush. We recommend using a separate brush for dust removal.

Step 8

From here on, we will introduce a "step" that we recommend for those who want to pay more attention to the finish. Wipe the entire glove with the mouton side. Wiping it dry will remove any excess oil remaining on the surface and prevent stickiness.

We offer a specialized leather cleaning service called ``Refleather''.

What is Refresher?

The new common sense is to wash leather products before wearing them.

The traditional method of cleaning leather products in Japan has been dry cleaning using chlorinated solvents.

While this removes dirt, there are also cases in which the color fades and the oil content from the leather is removed, and using a fatliquoring agent to replace the lost fat content can result in an unnatural or unpleasant stickiness. There was a problem.

Ref Leather uses a special soap specifically for leather, and can be washed with water as well as dry. The important thing here is to remove dirt and replenish nutrients, including lost fat. This will restore suppleness and elasticity, allowing you to once again appreciate the gentleness and strength that leather originally possessed.

You can wash all kinds of leather products (genuine leather), including leather jackets, leather overalls, pants, coats, skirts, and boots. It is also possible to clean colored models that were avoided with conventional cleaning.

Founded in 1935, in Asakusa, Tokyo, we have continuously nurtured our craftsmanship in making leather jackets.

This commitment is our proud philosophy that plays a part in Japanese manufacturing. The origin of HEAD FACTORY is the "skill" and "enthusiasm" cultivated by Kadoya craftsmen.

And this is my thoughts to all those who love leather jackets and motorcycles. We continue to create clothes that can be worn for generations without being swept away by the times.

HEAD FACTORY KADOYA MADE IN JAPAN

Embracing the craftsmen's passion in the brand tag, Kadoya's path to "better manufacturing"

the night before

Kadoya's craftsmen, who have been making leather jackets for a long time as a made-to-order leather shop, have accumulated technology that can respond to all needs over time.

As the world entered an era of mass production and mass consumption, the trend shifted toward ready-made clothes. In the midst of turbulent times, the skilled craftsmen led by Masataka Fukano, the second generation of the company, continued the custom-made production, while behind the scenes the development of ready-made clothes also started.

In 2003, the domestic brand "HEAD FACTORY", which was particular about "sewing one piece per person" as if going against the times, was transposed to the production of ready-made clothes. It was launched at the factory in the head office building in Asakusa.
