What is a Teacore Leather?
Technically, all of our Shinki horsehide leathers except for the Black Oil Tan are teacore leathers. Our pigment finishes are specifically designed to expose the undercolour with wear, while our Oil/Wax finishes tend to soak deeper into the raw hides. Eventually, even the Oil/Wax finishes will lighten with wear, but for the classic vegetable tanned look the Pigment finishes are ideal.

Our new natural dyed SAFETY YELLOW watch caps are here, and with them come images of the dying process. Unlike chemical dying processes, our turmeric-based natural dye is beautiful and good-smelling from start to finish.
