ABOUT LEATHER
With over 45 years in the craft, we bypass wholesalers and work directly with 6+ specialist tanners—horsehide, water-dye, deerskin, suede. Many of our materials are co-developed as originals with these partners. For horsehide and deerskin in particular, hides that meet the trifecta of thickness, large size, and minimal scarring are globally scarce, making stable supply challenging. Leather naturally varies with tanning, humidity, climate, finishing, and dye. Because we favor dye-finish over pigments, we embrace character rather than uniformity; sourcing the right hides takes time. We believe challenging materials carry true value. Treating each hide as a singular encounter, we apply rigorous quality control and take the time to craft every piece with care.

ANILINE HORSE
ANILINE HORSE
In the finishing process, the leather is richly infused with oil and dyed exclusively with aniline. With no pigments used, it features the distinctive transparent gloss of aniline and a rich, oily feel. Thickness is around 1.4 mm.

ECO HORSE
ECO HORSE
A leather recreated to evoke the pure horsehide of the 1930s. Tanned with ample tannin and oil, the hides are tightly contracted—shrunk about 20%—to produce thickness and firmness. With wear, the fibers gradually loosen, creating a distinctive feel that molds to the body while making a characteristic “squeak.” Thickness is around 1.8 mm.
-
HAND DYED HORSE
HAND DYED HORSE
After the vegetable-tanned leather is first dyed, each piece is carefully overdyed by hand. This repeated hand-dyeing process creates a unique unevenness and a deep gradation, resulting in leather with an expression like no other. Thickness is around 1.4 mm.
-
HAND OIL HORSE
HAND OIL HORSE
From chrome-tanned leather, only the finest hides are selected and then re-tanned with vegetable tannin by a bullhide-specialized tannery. Skilled artisans carefully apply wax oil by hand, giving the leather a rich, oily feel and a unique unevenness that only hand-finishing can create. Thickness is around 1.5 mm.

Through years of research and experimentation, indigo dye—normally unable to adhere to leather—has been successfully fixed to this hide. While indigo leather itself is rare, achieving it with horsehide makes this an exceptionally special material. Though some fading may occur, the fusion of indigo and horsehide creates a unique expression. Thickness is around 1.3 mm.
-
KAKISHIBU HORSE
KAKISHIBU HORSE
A special horsehide dyed with kakishibu, a traditional Japanese persimmon tannin dye. Finished using only natural dyes without any pigments, it is also environmentally friendly.

-
NATURAL SCAR HORSE
NATURAL SCAR HORSE
The NATURAL SCAR series intentionally uses areas such as scratches, grain scuffs, and wrinkles that have traditionally been considered flaws, in order to maximize the natural character of the leather.

-
OIL SOFT HORSE
OIL SOFT HORSE
A material crafted from horsehide about 1.0 mm thick, infused with ample oil to achieve exceptional softness.

-
OIL WAX HORSE
OIL WAX HORSE

SADDLE HORSE
SADDLE HORSE
A vegetable-tanned horsehide left undyed in its natural state. Marks and scratches are visible, serving as authentic proof of genuine leather. While common in cowhide, natural horsehide leather is rare.
As it is worn, the leather darkens with exposure and develops a rich patina, offering a unique aging experience. Thickness approx. 1.5mm. -
SUMI DYED HORSE (SADDLE-CORE)
SUMI DYED HORSE (SADDLE-CORE)
A special leather dyed with Nara ink, a traditional craft boasting 1,400 years of history. Fully vegetable-tanned, the hide undergoes a process more than twice as long as standard dyeing, allowing the ink to penetrate deeply into the natural leather and creating a saddle core. As the jacket is worn, the underlying saddle color gradually emerges, offering a unique aging effect. The double-dyeing of the base and finish produces a deep, lustrous black that is another key appeal. Thickness is around 1.5 mm.
-
VINTAGE HORSE
VINTAGE HORSE
Thick horsehide first dyed brown and then finished with black pigment. With wear, the underlying brown gradually appears through scuffed areas, allowing for a unique aging process. Thickness is around 1.4 mm.
