Y'2 LEATHER Horsehide x Steer Oil Down Vest [Horsehide x Cowhide] OLIVE x SADDLE. A Western-style down vest. The Western yoke (shoulder) part uses approximately 1mm thick "[SADDLE HORSE (horsehide, nubuck)]". Using carefully selected raw hides from Northern Europe, it has a natural, unadulterated finish, like a sun-dried material, without hiding any scratches or scuffs. (This leather is prone to showing imperfections, so only a very small amount of it can be used for products.) It is also characterized by its tight fibers and resistance to stretching due to the time-consuming and costly tanning process. Saddle leather is often used for wallets and belts, but horse saddle is rare, and the amber color it develops over many years of wear should provide an exquisite aging experience. The body uses approximately 1.2mm thick "Steer Oil (cowhide)". Finished naturally with drum dyeing without hiding scratches or scuffs with dyes, this leather, originating in Japan, is unmatched by tanners around the world, and is surprisingly soft and comfortable for its thickness. "OLIVE" is a cool green color, and the aging process promises to deepen the green even further with wear. 42 (XL): Body width approx. 55cm, Shoulder width approx. 45cm, Length approx. 69cm Measurements are approximate. The retail price has been steadily increasing, now around 100,000 yen. Further price increases are expected. I will remove the listing if I change my mind.
