Shawl Collar Cossack Jacket, Horsehide

A shawl-collar leather jacket built on the 1930s Cossack jacket. Made in undyed, full vegetable-tanned horsehide, it grows into the amber only natural veg leather gives the more it is worn. A plain, warm character and the quality of a hard-wearing horsehide.

Character of the material:
The pores are clearly visible, and the leather takes in water and oil readily. It is finished in its original colour, hard-wearing and slow to lose colour.
As it is unfinished, it is neither waterproof nor rain-resistant. Take particular care with water early on.
Water-dyed, so it can be worn as it is. The material settles in and gains character the more it is worn.
As the leather takes up perspiration and oils through wear, it develops a natural patina.

■ Care
• Take care to keep the leather away from rain and water. If it does get wet, blot the moisture off promptly with a dry cloth and let it dry naturally in a well-ventilated, shaded place.
• Store on a hanger that matches the shoulder width so the garment keeps its shape.
• Wipe dirt away gently with a dry, soft cloth, and condition with a leather cream as needed.
• Store away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity.

■ About natural leather
• Because this is natural leather, creases, veining, scars, and uneven colour may be visible. These are the character of a natural material, not defects.
• Colour may fade, transfer, or change with age through wear.
• Every piece looks slightly different. Please order with this in mind.
