JELADO 44 Leather Jacket Horsehide Semi-aniline Finish [JP94409]

We use a model called "1ST" from World War II, which is highly valuable in the vintage market.
It features four front buttons with laurel leaf designs and a cinch-back buckle on the back.
The front has simple pockets without flaps.
The back is made with a "T-back" design, which has become a popular and well-established style.
The material used is approximately 1.6mm thick horsehide, which has been
combination (chrome × tannin) tanned.
After chrome tanning, the solution is washed away, and then the leather is re-tanned with tannin.
This process brings out the best qualities of tannin, giving the leather a moderate, heavy feel and
aiming for a leather that will develop a rich character as it is worn.
After dyeing the base a light brown, black dye was sprayed on by hand at a long-established finishing factory in Tokyo. This is what is known as "tea-core" leather.
This time, to achieve a stronger black, we used a blend of equal parts pigment and dye in a

semi-aniline finish.
The dye, which colors the base, and the pigment, which forms a coating on top, match perfectly, creating a beautiful aging effect when worn.
This soft leather, which cannot be achieved with 100% pigment, has a thin coating, making it easy to wear, and as it is worn, the brown of the base will gradually emerge.
You can enjoy the same aging process as with denim, and the unique change in the leather characteristic of tea-core.
