LIMITED EDITION  x10 Made | Horween® Horsehide & Tan Latigo
This is a special and very limited version featuring two exceptional Horween® leathers. Made from a 100% vegetable tanned "Natural" horsehide and trimmed with a rich saddle tan "Steamed" latigo steerhide, a new leather from Horween®. The contrast of the two leathers pair together so well. The lightweight (4oz.) horsehide is for the leather connoisseur, a unique and natural tannage that will darken or "patina" to a golden tan over the years.
Every detail is well thought out in this version. We use a vintage inspired Universal brand brass zipper that is made in Japan, along with the lining. The 10oz. herringbone cotton lining is as good as you will find in a bag. It is made by Yoshiwa Millls in Japan is a shuttle loom woven fabric, for supreme quality. All the rivets are hand-set, solid brass "Bull" rivets. The most durable rivets we have found, are not only nearly impossible to fail, but can only be installed by a human hand, one at a time.

We made a total of (10) in this FIRST EDITION. No immediate plans to make the exact version again this season.

      "--Beautifully crafted briefcase that will last a long long time, but beware. -- Pros: 1: Overall the briefcase design is very nice and I think it is suitable for business casual or formal. You will slowly build the patina up when you use it everyday. 2: Smells amazing and nice texture as well. Cons and suggestions: 1: The back outside pocket is not a good design and I think it will be a weak point in the far future if you use it everyday. As you can see in the pictures, the back pocket is made from 1 piece of leather (same piece) as the back, it is literally just a cut to create a pocket, there is no lining/ material to protect the edge, I think it will eventually create a crack and the back will rip off in the far future of the bags lifespan. (I am not going to use the back pocket to prevent this) 2: It will be nice to have metal legs at the bottom or at least an extra piece of leather to protect the bottom. Overall: 8/10 definitely a buy it for life bag."
