Fabric: "JAPANESE FULL GRAIN LEATHER"
This leather is processed from raw material to finish at a historic tannery in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture, using a unique Japanese clothing tanning method called "water dyeing." By minimizing finishing (spraying), we place importance on preserving the fine grain and texture inherent to the leather. While lightweight and possessing a moderate firmness, it is a flexible, supple leather rich in oil that will develop a deeper hue and softer feel with continued wear. It will increasingly conform to the wearer's body as it ages. It also has water-repellent properties that make the leather resistant to changes from getting wet, as well as resistant to dirt and rain, ensuring it can be worn for a long time to come.
Handling Precautions for Leather Products
※ Since natural leather is used, color transfer may occur due to friction, sweat, water, etc. Additionally, even with the same product number, each item will have a unique appearance due to the different parts of the hide used.
※ We utilize the natural characteristics of the leather to the fullest, including natural expressions such as stains, scratches, wrinkles, and traces of veins or pores, which are unique to natural leather. We do not accept returns or exchanges based on these individual leather characteristics, such as "there are wrinkles," "I am not satisfied with the position of a scratch," or "there is a stain." Please understand this before placing your order.
※ For products using natural leather, we generally cannot accept claims.
