No not that kind of fag!
A new type of leather jacket has been developed with cigarette papers.The new leather is ultra-thin but its association to a layer of thin cigarette-paper makes it very resistant.
PRESS RELEASE
Multilayered thin leather with cigarette paper
Cigarettes reach a new scope: ultra-thin leather + ultra-resistant cigarette-paper + shape memory membrane, a new intelligent and light livery.
A new concept of leather, suitable for realizing jackets with a revolutionary dimension of use, is growing up. The innovative leather used is ultra-thin and this could obviously have caused also an excessive fragility in it but Grado Zero Espace for Corpo Nove has thought to associate the leather to a layer of thin cigarette-paper. The paper for cigarettes, thanks to its own nature, is very slight but at the same time very resistant. This binomial of materials has created the result of the thinnest leather to the touch but most resistant in use. However, according to Grado Zero Espace's team, this was not sufficient to grant to the garments's construction a new dimension of sport use. So an ulterior material has been associated to the paper-skin binomial: a shape memory polymers membrane capables to give to the multilayer material an unusual impermeability together with the introduction of some temperature control, in feedback with body's heat, which allows a good perspiration when the body's heat is high and, on the contrary, creates a barrier to the cold and the moisture when temperature is lowered under certain predetermined and programmable limits. From this triple association of materials a new kind of leather, adapted to the sport use, is born, a frontier all to be explored and in which Corpo Nove becomes pioneer. This goal has allowed a use of cigarette-paper that ennobles the scopes for which it has been conceived in a time which it is clear that smoking is bad.
