UNDERCOVER brought the leather sleeve down jacket
It's time to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Japanese brand known for its punk-fused & American-influenced streetwear fits.
For that, UNDERCOVER brought together some of the brand's designer Jun Takahashi’s closest friends to recreate one of their key items: the leather sleeve down jacket.

The spin on UNDERCOVER's favorite leather piece was done by a range of 6 brands from fragment design, sacai, TAKAHIROMIYASHITA TheSoloist, kolor to N.HOOLYWOOD.
These editions mix down cuts — and even bright shades and deconstructed design in kolor's case — on the seasonal staple jacket. For TAKAHIROMIYASHITA TheSoloist, the designer transformed it into a ski-friendly piece with a hood and built-in googles.

sacai's designer Chitose Abe infused the leather body in a knit riders jacket with the saying "KEEP MAKING NOISE!!!" quilted to take the handmade vibe up a notch.
This range of takes on the same design is due to UNDERCOVER's always-fresh vision and elevated choice of details and leathers. The material allows them to be timeless and ground-breaking at the same time — especially with luxe brands that bring an artsy vibe to new releases.
