Craft your next custom project with this rich brown horsebutt leather hide, perfect for bespoke handmade creations. Made by the legendary Japanese tannery Shinki Hikaku, this hide features a brown surface dyed over a contrasting core, so as it's handled and worn over time, that inner tone shows through for a rich, vintage character. It measures 45 deci in size, with a thickness of around 1.8mm, and offers a medium to slightly firm feel.
Shinki Hikaku is famous among artisans worldwide for its masterful horsehide tanning techniques. Cut from the dense rear portion of the horse, horsebutt leather is prized for its durability, making it an exceptional choice for heirloom craftwork.
