- Horse Naked Leather BLACK VINTAGE -
Commissioned to Shinki Hikaku, whose philosophy is to manage all processes from tanning, dyeing, to finishing in-house.
Recognized worldwide for their history, love, and pride in horsehide, they use 100% vegetable-tanned pit tanning.
Even in modern times where efficiency is prioritized, they continue to use pit tanning for horse naked leather, which takes the most time.
Please enjoy the firm yet flexible texture, the shining polished edge, and the deepening luster with use, all characteristic of pit-tanned horse naked leather.

The Art of Dyeing
The complex dyeing process, which involves dyeing the base color a mottled black without penetrating the dye into the core of the horse naked leather, and then dyeing it with a translucent brown tone, creates this black vintage color.

The Art of Finishing
After applying a thick sheen through glazing, a揉み加工 (crumpling/massaging process) is performed to create wrinkles and a white haze.
This crumpling process brings out a richer expression on the grain surface due to differences in fiber quality across various parts of the leather.

Horse Naked Leather Black Vintage, which incorporates the wonderful natural qualities of horse naked leather and the techniques of Shinki Hikaku, who have long conversed with horsehide, without reservation.
Each item is produced according to manufacturing standards meticulously developed to maximize the potential of this horse naked leather.

- Siamese Croc -
The scales on the belly are rectangular, similar to small crocodile but slightly larger.
The scales on the flanks have a rounded shape.
They inhabit swamps and rivers in Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, and other regions.
The surface of the Siamese croc, dyed black, is sanded to create a raised nap with a "gin-suri" finish, allowing you to enjoy a two-tone black and gray color.
