2026 TEST SAMPLE - GB Specification -
GB: Germanic Bronze
MORAY Round Fastener Wallet
-GB Specification-
For the 2026 TEST SAMPLE,
we actively adopt horse leather (waxed finish with brown core) for the leather and darl plating for the metal parts.
The combination of horse leather with brown core and darl plated hardware will be named and developed as
- GB Specification - (Germanic Bronze Specification).
The origin of "darl plating" is said to be derived from the English word "Dark" or its darkish color "Darl."
Historically, darl plating has various color variations and was widely used as a decorative finish for a luxurious feel in the Japanese furniture industry during the 1960s and 70s.
The manufacturing method involves thinly plating brass or copper with a black color.
When new, the finish is not just black; it creates subtle gradations with color unevenness and light.
As it is used, the metal parts also develop a brown core-like texture, which is a characteristic of darl plating.
Among the various shades of darl plating, there is a color name called
Germanic Bronze.
For the 2026 TEST SAMPLE,
we hope you will enjoy the combination of the brown core of horse leather and the brown core of darl plating, recognizing it as the - GB Specification - (Germanic Bronze Specification).

Puff-up tailoring for a "tactile feel" in leather.
The surface of MORAY has been finished to eliminate wrinkles, combining an antique and luxurious feel.
The horse Nume leather in the window frame created by the puff-up tailoring is the same as the main body's horse Nume leather.
Depending on the tailoring, even the same leather can create completely different expressions, allowing you to feel the difference in texture.
The edges utilize the brown core, and brown-toned threads are used for the stitching.
This specification enhances the three-dimensionality of the puff-up tailoring.
The interior is finished with a crinkled texture.
Although all parts are made of the same horse Nume leather, it can show such a difference in expression.
