The better part of a year in the making.
I am very excited about teaming up with Japans Double Helix Works to make something very special only for The Shop Vancouver.
Our Western Cowboy 2 exclusive collaboration jacket, uses an insanely supple 1.5mm aniline, pigment free finished, oiled and wax Horsehide.
To give you an idea of how special this jacket is. Only about 2-3% of raw hides meet the quality standards for the leather we used on this jacket, and it shows.
The hand on this jacket is truly next level.
The Western Cowboy 2 features
2 Riveted front breast pockets, one with a flap closure and one open.
1.3-1.5mm Oiled, waxed, pigment free aniline finished horsehide.
Vintage style "Union Made" buttons
1930s style buckle back.
100% cotton lining with our custom woven The Shop Vancouver tag.

Typical to any denim style cut leather jackets, these feel tight across the back until the leather is worn and opens up to your personal shape.

Double helix is the first time that oiled horse leather has been made. The most distinctive feature is that the oil is slowly soaked in, and the texture that fits in your hand is comfortable, and the depth increases as you use it, giving it a luxurious look. There is no other material that gives you a sense of sophistication and dignity while having a leather-like texture. The material that is considered to be beautiful after aging is not only the high quality of raw leather, but also the material with a high degree of perfection as dye leather.
