Stock

We try to keep all leathers in stock in a variety of colours but this is not always possible due to our size and the lead times of tanneries. If a leather you want is out of stock then it can take 4-6 weeks to source it from our tanning partners. 

We also have special one-off leathers in stock and we have access to leathers which can be ordered quickly. Please get in contact if you there is a particular look and feel you wish to discuss. 

Other materials

For our jacket linings we generally use natural materials such as cotton, linen and silk but they can also be made of semi-synthetics. Semi-synthetics refer to fabrics such as viscose, cupro and tencel which are produced by humans from plant cells. We do not use synthetics such as polyester or acrylic.

We use linen thread for hand-stitching but we have to use synthetic materials for our machine thread (either polyester or nylon) because natural threads do not have enough strength to be sew leather on an industrial machine. We try to use recycled polyester thread when possible to offset the impact of plastics.
