Taiga Takahashi Lot. 804 Leather Jacket c. 1930s – Mud Dyed Brown< Coats, Jackets, And Vests

The Lot.804 Leather Jacket carries the same lineage as the Lot.303 Coverall but rebuilt in horsehide for autumn and winter. The design keeps its 1930s workwear roots, but adds a lining of wool and linen for added warmth and structure. The outer is vegetable-tanned horse leather made with the pit-tanning method, where hides are soaked for nearly a month in tannin-rich pits. This long, labor-intensive process produces leather with a firm hand and remarkable depth of character. In Mud Dyed Brown, each jacket is hand-dyed individually in Amami Oshima, making every piece unique. The buttons are equally true to heritage: engraved iron fasteners modeled on 1910s coveralls, finished with rust-processing on the brown version for a timeworn authenticity.
