Roen - Deerskin Leather Lieutenant Blazer w/ Rabbit Fur Trim

ROEN is a Japanese fashion brand founded by self-taught designer Hiromu Takahara in 2001, known for its androgynous fusion of rock 'n' roll aesthetics, gothic symbolism, and refined tailoring. Drawing inspiration from Western glam rock, punk, and gothic fashion, Takahara created pieces that featured skull motifs, crosses, distressed leather, slim silhouettes, and dark color palettes—elements that resonated strongly with Japan’s Visual Kei scene and alternative fashion circles. The brand reached its peak in the mid-2000s, during a time when avant-garde and luxury streetwear were gaining global attention, and was often seen on Japanese musicians, actors, and fashion icons; including Gackt, Hyde, and other prominent names. Despite its rebellious image, ROEN was respected for its high-end craftsmanship and luxurious materials, successfully bridging the gap between subculture fashion and couture. Although the brand still exists today, it operates with a lower profile as Takahara has since stepped back from the public spotlight.

The Lieutenant Blazer from Hiromu Takahara’s 2000s runway collection blends industrial military design with streetwear visual kei influences. The sleeves, made from polished deerskin leather, offer a smooth, durable finish that complements the structured silhouette. This blazer features four military-style cargo pockets, each with its own grunge-inspired detail, including one pocket crafted from genuine snakeskin. The shoulder straps allow for the attachment of accessories like pouches or bags, adding practicality to the design. Custom metal hardware, engraved with the brand’s signature skull motif, adds an authentic touch. A genuine rabbit fur trim, secured by hidden button fastenings, is discreetly placed behind the lapels for added texture and warmth. A piece that reflects Takahara’s ability to merge alternative subculture fashion, corporate identity, and high-quality craftsmanship, the Lieutenant Blazer is a statement in itself, designed for those who appreciate unqiue expression and utility.
