SHEEP SKIN 1ST TYPE JEAN JACKET [ SPB-140 ]
Thank you for waiting.
We are pleased to announce that delivery of the new “SHEEP SKIN 1ST TYPE JEAN JACKET[SPB-140]” begins this week.
Compared to steer hide, there are very few tanners in Japan who work with sheepskin, and it took considerable time to find one who could meet our quality standards.
Last year, we began importing European raw sheepskin and successfully finishing it domestically here in Japan.
From there, we were finally able to add sheepskin to our official lineup.
Among the many details we focused on, the following three points were especially important:
① Oil Content
Just like our deerskin and steer oil leather, we aimed for a finish that starts matte, then gradually allows the internal oils to surface beautifully as the jacket is worn.
② Thickness
Securing sheepskin with a thickness of around 1.3 mm is extremely difficult.
Despite this, we managed to acquire hides that met our standards for durability and feel.
③ Dye Finish in Japan
All of our leather — horsehide, deerskin, steer oil, and bullhide — is finished by Japanese tanners.
We deeply value the advantages of domestic production: quick communication, immediate inspection at the tanneries in Himeji and Nara, and a shared understanding of craftsmanship.
Of course, we recognize the quality of overseas leathers as well, but our commitment to Japanese finishing is an essential part of Y’2 LEATHER’s identity.
Now, let us introduce the finished piece.
Delivery of the SHEEP SKIN 1ST TYPE JEAN JACKET[SPB-140] has officially begun.
✨ A New Addition to Our Popular G-Jacket Series
While our horsehide models such as Eco Horse are well-loved, we wanted to create a piece that could be worn with even more ease and flexibility in daily life.
Even within the same “G-jacket” style, changing the leather results in a completely different character — something that even surprised us when we saw the final product.
✨ Color Variations
Black
Navy (not indigo — deep navy)
✨ Lining
To preserve the natural softness of the sheepskin, we selected high-quality cupro as the lining material.
Please visit our stores to experience the softness, lightness, and comfort of this new sheepskin piece.
We believe it represents a fresh approach to the G-jacket — one only Y’2 LEATHER can create.
