This bag features 1.0mm thick CHROMEXCEL leather, a signature leather from Horween, USA, tanned using traditional methods that have remained unchanged for over 100 years. Tanners carefully select only steerhide hides over 2.5mm thick, carefully selected from a vast number of hides. These carefully selected hides are then tanned using a combination tanning process, then coated with a special oil blend of more than four types of oils, including beef tallow, beeswax, vegetable oil, and fish oil, which permeates the leather to create the unique "CHROMEXCEL" leather. Carefully immersing the hide in the oil, taking time and effort, results in a thick, durable leather with a high oil content, yet a soft, supple texture that belies its heavy feel. This unique, premium leather continues to be highly acclaimed. The hill-dyed brown core leather reveals its unique patina over time, allowing you to enjoy the unique aging process that develops with continued wear and use.
Based on a basic design, this collared single rider jacket features a newly designed silhouette with a moderate amount of room in the fit, taking into account the thickness of the leather, for a classic look. The design also incorporates details typical of rider jackets, such as a back panel and zippered pockets. The body lining is made of thick leather material and a stretch cotton fabric carefully selected to balance comfort with durability to withstand hard wear, while the sleeves are lined with rayon for easy donning and doffing. This one-of-a-kind leather jacket is designed to age well with the brown core premium leather, ensuring it will last for years to come.
