- 100% horse leather. Sourced in Europe (Italy, Poland, France) as a by–product of the meat industry, then vegetable–tanned by the legendary Shinki Leather tannery in Himeji, Japan. Tanned using a traditional method, in which hides are soaked for up to five-weeks in deep baths filled with natural tannins extracted from mimosa bark and other plants. Once tanned the leather is dried, cured, and hand finished, revealing softness and supple grain. Naturally thick and rigid, horse leather is highly durable and smooth to touch. With use, this leather will develop signs of wear.
