Tornado Mart - Late 90s "Keloid" Cowhide Leather Blazer w/ Raccoon Fur

Tornado Mart expanded into leather craftsmanship as part of its evolution beyond streetwear, aiming to create more versatile and expressive designs. Founded in 1997, the brand’s fusion of urban influences and tailored aesthetics made leather a natural addition to its repertoire. Leveraging Japan’s deep history of skilled leather production, Tornado Mart incorporated premium materials to explore new textures and construction techniques. This move reflected broader trends of the late 1990s and early 2000s, where traditional materials were reimagined in modern contexts. 

A keloid is a type of raised scar that grows excessively beyond the boundaries of the original skin injury. It’s a result of an overactive healing response where the body produces too much collagen.When in fashion; It’s a rare material finish — inspired by how keloid scars look on skin. Usually reffering to a textured surface treatment that gives the leather an irregular, raised, or scar-like effect.

Presenting a cowhide leather blazer, this vintage piece from Tornado Mart reflects the brand’s boundary-pushing spirit and expressive design philosophy. Featuring two seamless open pockets and a hidden interior pocket, this is not a conventional blazer—its lapels are cut with a sharper, more abrupt edge uncommon in traditional tailoring. A raccoon fur trim runs along the hems and sides of the jacket, and is fully removable via button loop closures, allowing for versatile styling options. The leather has been treated and finished with a muscle-like silhouette, processed to achieve a polished shine and distinct “keloid” texture—creating a warped, scarred appearance that adds visual depth and character to the piece. Altogether, this blazer captures a distinctive blend of unconventional structure, material treatment, and modular detailing—offering a Tyler Durden esque piece that reflects Tornado Mart’s signature approach to progressive design and leather work.
