(Material) Oiled vintage steer

Oiled Vintage Steer

Tanned leather made from natural materials develops a unique texture and is described as having a "shiny undertone" the more it is used, but on the other hand, it has little stretch and elasticity, and is vulnerable to water, including rain.

On the other hand, chrome tanning does not have the same texture as tannin tanning, but it is soft, strong, and water resistant, making it suitable for clothing. In order to achieve both of these properties for "Oiled Vintage Steer", we have established a "de-chrome/mixed tanning" process in which after chrome tanning, half of the chrome content is removed and the leather is further tanned with tannin.

Furthermore, by adding a small amount of chrome tanning agent to the highly plastic tanned leather, we have increased its suppleness and physical durability, and by penetrating it with an appropriate amount of oil, combined with the aniline dye finish on the surface, we have created a unique texture that is more transparent and smooth.

As soon as you put it on, you can feel a sense of unity spreading around your body and a flexibility that retains the firmness that is characteristic of tannin.
