“LIFETIME Leather Jacket!”
This collaborative horsehide jacket draws inspiration from 1950s vintage double rider jackets. Developed in partnership with RAGGY CLOTHING, the design has been refined and elevated with higher-grade materials, bringing a new level of craftsmanship to a timeless silhouette.
The shell is constructed from 1.3mm full-grain horsehide, sourced from Northern Europe. Skilled artisans in Japan carry out an extensive vegetable tanning and paraffin-coating process on the raw hides over more than three months. Following this, RAGGY CLOTHING entrusts the leather to a specialised dyeing workshop in Japan. The process begins with an overdye in a rich red-brown tone on the natural, undyed vegetable-tanned base. From there, traditional hand-dyeing techniques are used to carefully apply layers of ink black over the surface. This meticulous method creates a black tea-core horsehide that evolves beautifully with wear. Over time, the deep black exterior gradually reveals the warm reddish-brown core beneath, developing a striking, high-contrast patina unique to each piece.
The lining is finished with RAGGY CLOTHING’s specially developed high-density cupro, crafted from the finest short-staple cotton fibres. It offers a silk-like touch with excellent breathability, ensuring comfort across seasons while wearing a leather jacket. Compared to silk, cupro provides greater structural strength, allowing it to withstand years of wear without compromising its feel.
From a design perspective, we worked closely with RAGGY CLOTHING to incorporate fixed pleats, offering a more modern interpretation while allowing greater freedom of movement compared to traditional 1950s styles.
If you are seeking a high-end, Japan-made horsehide leather jacket, this piece stands as an exceptional choice, where craftsmanship, material, and timeless design come together seamlessly.
