Japanese craftsmanship meets old-world charm!

As makers of some of the finest garments in Japan, Boncoura never fail to impress with their custom fabrics and amazing designs! After a long process of selecting and refining the best materials, Boncoura has created their own specially developed blend of 50% alpaca, 40% wool and 10% mohair to create the perfect luxurious fabric!

Boncoura's design takes inspiration from vintage 1950s cardigans combining mid-century style with practicality! Slowly woven with vintage machines, the brushed custom fabric is super soft against the skin while providing the perfect amount of heat insulation to keep you toasty on cooler days! Looking closely you can see that the grey colour is created from individually, multi-coloured thread-dyed yarns to make up for a tasteful look!

The ultimate easy-to-wear relaxed cut trucker jacket has rolled in! 

For those denim fans, you will recognise this classic design from vintage Levis' 55, a rarely seen series. Taken to another level by Boncoura, this is one of our favourite examples of the trucker jacket!

BON' have a passion to develop their spectrum of fabrication. This one might bring back memories of vintage Ralph Polo garments with tastefully large ridged corduroy. To make this material to another level, BON' have created a heavyweight corduroy with extra-large ridges and a silky smooth surface without a 'scratchy' feeling. They use full-grain natural cotton to make up a beautiful sheen. It takes 6-9 months to bring from raw materials to the final fabric, from a vintage machine.

An extra heavy deerskin patch has been used for the brand tag. When felt in hand you can see the depth of the grain and natural sheen shine out. This kind of deerskin grade is typically used for leather jackets and is very rare. With engraved and curved iron buttons, the closures have a classic yet elegant appearance. The wait pockets and perfect to keep your hands cosy and feature natural cotton herringbone twill fabric.

If you've been seeking a unique, vintage levis-inspired jacket with a modern vision, this is the ultimate choice!

Many of you will be familiar with the classic N-1 Deck jacket. It's a famous, classic style worn by the US Navy personnel during WW2. Since it has influenced modern fashion and become an icon for practicality and warmth.

Boncoura has taken this to another level, unfamiliar from 'VINTAGE' that is now in another high-end category. Bon' has re-imagined this design with a shorter vertical length to make for a more practical fit with a hooded design.

The outer shell is specially developed by Boncoura. Despite being already Once Washed, the jungle cloth shell still maintains a beautiful sheen. It's very smooth thanks to its midweight and is very comfortable compared to vintage examples of jungle cloth. This jungle cloth is densely woven and thread dyed, meaning with long term use, you will see soft contrast and more shades of colour revealed.

The lining is another beautiful execution from Bon'. The lining is made from pure alpaca wool which has been filtered from any short or mid-length fibres... meaning the result is the TOP alpaca wool fibres that are long, soft and comfortable. It feels very comfortable against the skin with ZERO irritation. If you have tried alpaca wool before and felt agitated, rest assured this is totally different.

The simplified design for the front waist pockets is tasteful and will keep you cosy. The washable cowhide trims make for a more comfortable wearing experience and it also increases durability over long time usage. The two way, extra heavy brass zip is perfect for getting the right fit depending on the weather.

To make for a more 'winter-proof' jacket, this one features a lined hood and chin strap to keep those elements away!

As new contenders in the 'heirloom standard' leather jacket game, Boncoura has brought some serious heat with their Cowhide Suede Type 3 Jacket!

Conventional wisdom says that vegetable tanning is the method of choice for premium leather products. However, in Japan, many different tanning methods are utilized to impart different qualities in the leather, including vegetable tanning, chrome tanning, oil tanning and salt tanning etc. Morishima-San, the boss and creative visionary of Boncoura believes that by using a combination of tanning methods, Boncoura can create luxury leather products that are sure to mature and develop into even more beautiful garments that you can wear and age for many decades!

The tanning process for this suede jacket uses a multi-method process. First, the leather is vegetable tanned then chrome-tanned, while the final step involves a secret process known only to the brand!
Premium rawhide leathers are selected and preserved with minimal dyeing to showcase the natural beauty and imperfections of the hide!
The final result combines an outer texture that resembles thick roughout leather, while the inner's texture looks and feels like premium deerskin!

For extra water resistance, a special water-proofing liquid is applied during the tanning process to reduce natural discolouration to the leather from water damage and general wear!

The fitting replicates Boncoura's denim type 3 denim, with an elegant slim-fitting silhouette!

Want more details? For Boncoura every detail counts, and you can see they have selected longer fibre hides for the side and inner panels, with smoother short-fibre hides for the front panels, to create a subtle tonal perfect look!

The brass snap buttons are hand-engraved and get oxidised. With time, the raised areas will become shinier and develop a beautiful patina!
