ECO HORSE
Sorry for the wait.
Speaking of aging, here is this material, "ECOHORSE".
The ageing of the material is so great that you can understand it all by looking at the pictures.

Both of them have not been maintained (oiled up).
In case you are wondering, here is an explanation of Ecohose.
Eco-horse is a material made in the image of solid horsehide from the 1930s.
The leather is tanned with tannin and oil, and tightened up to about 20% shrinkage to make it thicker and stiffer.
The more you wear it, the more the leather will be loosened, and the more it squeaks, the more it will fit to your body.
The thickness is around 1.8mm, but the thickest part is over 2mm.
Please see the 5th picture.
This one has been worn for 13 years and has only been maintained a few times.
It is quite stiff, but if you wear it hard, it will adjust to your body and become one of the best.
If you don't like the thickness, we also have ECO HORSE 1.3mm. (6th image)
This is made from 1.8mm leather and split to 1.3mm.
The leather is not finished at 1.3mm from the beginning, but is thinned down to 1.8mm with tannin and oil.
The more you wear it, the more shiny it becomes and the better it looks.
The leather is also hard and difficult to work with, but please take your time and nurture it!
