The D3 Down Blouson cut from Japanese Deerskin was released in the 19th MAN–TLE collection — R19. The sustainably farmed leather is a by-product of the meat industry, tanned by Ogasawara Leather in Tokyo. This garment is filled with Hungarian Silver Goose Down, washed and processed by our longterm supplier; Kawada Feather in Mie. The final piece is cut and assembled singularly by our master-craftsman Ishikawa san in his small factory in Tochigi. Each item requires two days for this final sewing stage alone.
