HBTV: The TRUTH About Japanese Horsehide
In this episode of HBTV, leather guru Dave Himel goes deep into the qualities and history of some of the highest quality horsehides in the world, produced by Shinki Tannery in Himeji, Japan. Most of this information can't be found online—plus, he shows you the details of one of the least-known Himel Bros. Leather designs: the Brycelander, made exclusively for Bryceland's & Co.
