About the brand
Isamu Katayama grew up in Hiroshima around his father's motorcycles, which is where the leather started, moved to Tokyo in his early twenties to work for a leather bag maker, and founded BACKLASH in 1999. What sets the label apart is the order of operations: the leather is dyed after the garment is sewn, not before. Jackets and boots go into the dye as finished objects, often by Katayama's own hand, so they shrink and pucker along the seams and the colour marbles into the hide differently on every piece.

Care guide
Specialist clean only, for the leather tab and the cold dye. Keep it out of an ordinary wash; the dye sits in the surface and the poem print inside will fade under harsh cleaning. Air it between wears and steam the linen lightly if it needs settling, keeping heat off the leather.
