Craft your next handmade project with this premium piece of brown horsebutt leather. Produced by Shinki Hikaku, a famous Japanese tannery known worldwide for its exceptional leather processing, this hide comes from the dense rear section of the horse.
The leather is dyed only on its surface, leaving the natural hide tone visible beneath. As the piece is used and worked, this dyeing technique lets the brown surface wear through to reveal a rich, two-toned look, giving it a distinct vintage character over time.
The piece offers a medium to slightly firm stiffness, perfect for crafting durable custom leather goods. It measures 58 square decimeters with a thickness of approximately 1.8mm. Though listed as secondhand, the hide itself is unused and in brand-new condition.
