News: New Russet Horsehide

We have received the first shipment of new aniline russet brown horsehide. This new hide is an excellent shade of brown, and has a duller and less red tone than the earlier russet we had been using. This comes from our source in Japan, and has the same weight and grain as our other choices of horsehide. It is, of course, vegetable tanned in a three month process.

We have two examples of A-2 jackets that show this new horsehide shown below:

» New 1939 Werber Sportswear Type A-2 Jacket

» Rough Wear 42-1401-P Type A-2 Jacket
