Y'2 Leather

Hey Yall !

Very hyped to announce that our books are open on our Newest rendition of our Tom Horse Hide Western Shirt Collaboration with Y2 Leather out of Japan. 

I am beyond excited to share with you our latest collaboration piece The Pablo from Y2 Leather our of Japan

Working of the success of our first collaboration based off their classic Western shirt using using a light horse, this time around we decided to go with the indigo dyed horse that they are known for 

Indigo on horse hide is an extremely difficult process that not many tanneries are willing to to even attempt. 

At first the 1-1.2mm thick hide is fairly stiff but quickly takes shape and will turn into a piece that you will absolutely love for years to come. 

I originally Tested my own personal horse hide western on and off the bike, in the pouring rain and even in the snow.. 

I was surprised at how well this piece kept me dry.. and I have been blown away by how well this is not only worn as an over shirt , but a light jacket that I've been layering all winter.  

These fit on the snug side so please read the sizing chart and ask questions if you have any 

I personally measure 39.5" around the chest , and usually wear a size 40

I wear a Size Large Ironheart UHF,

Medium in most North American sized tops and Large in those made in Japan .. 

and I wear a Size 42 in this shirt, 

I had a buddy of mine come in today who measures 45" snug and 46 comfortably , Wears an XXL in an Ironheart UHF , XL in North American shirts like Dehen , XXL in Japanese, and he wears a 48 in these. 

In general most people seem to go one size up from what they measure. 

If you're a 42 chest order a 44 ect , as they seem to fit about one full size small.

With the same cut as our super popular IB-140 Indigo Dyed Type 1 

Y2 is offering a new option in with the KB-140-T 

a traditionally Japanese persimmon astringent that is extremely difficult to apply on leather. 

This Eco friendly dye produces a leather that will age with the best of them over time with UV light causing the jacket to change colour.  

This jacket is typically worn snug, I am pretty standard a 40 in most US sizing , 

I currently wear a size 40 in the IB-140 , which is quite snug. 

I can wear a 42 but being tall and slim I prefer the fit of the 40 . 

Dark Images and video of are the jacket worn 1 year.

Here is what They say about the Jacket Translated into English ..

Dye the horsehide with indigo. I used the "indigo hose" made by that very difficult method.

First type G denim.

Denim is good, but I also recommend this horsehide, which is a bit different.

The stitches use a thick orange count like denim, and the stitches are sewn so that they are sewn into the leather.

The thickness of the leather is around 1.3mm, which is not so thick, so it is also recommended that it be easy to wear.

I love that ... 

More or less , this is a very difficult process to master, and to do it with the horse hide they use on these jackets is really amazing. 

Ive been wearing mine for about 7 months now and its just getting better and better. 

they colour has darkened a little bit and its a real show stopper. 

I wear mine like i would a denim jacket from the 30s , snug and shorter.. I love it. 

Below is a fit guide video on our IGTV to help you choose your size
