Modern shrink leather from a tannery in Banshu. We commissioned leather from a tannery in the Banshu region of Hyogo Prefecture, which has accumulated technology with a commitment to domestic leather production. After repeated meetings and samples, we created an original leather that is perfect for belts. It is a full vegetable-tanned leather, also known as natural leather. The surface of the leather is shrink-embossed. The shrinking process creates a unique wrinkled and textured (bumpy) feel. The result is a single piece of leather that is firm yet supple and soft. Another feature is that the wrinkles make small scratches that occur with daily use less noticeable. The texture of natural leather becomes more familiar the more you use it. The natural wrinkles create a tasteful look. We hope you will enjoy this belt for a long time, along with our carefully selected cowhide leather. Full vegetable tanning: Leather, if left untreated, will rot or harden. Tanning is a process that uses tree sap and chemicals to prevent this from happening. Through this tanning process, the hide is transformed into leather. Full vegetable tanning is one such tanning method that uses no chemicals whatsoever and focuses on natural materials. It is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process (1-3 months), but it results in leather with a very rich and natural texture.
