Indigo Horse Car Coat (IC-77)

Product details
We're big fans of Y'2's Car Coat, particularly the lighter-weight version. The IC-77 model features a full-length body, with slant welt pockets rather than the patch pockets used on some other models. There's a single chest pocket on the front for extra storage, with another internal pocket for extra security. The inside of the body is lined with a cotton/wool blend fabric that insulates well and feels great to wear, and the sleeves have a 100% nylon lining for easy layering.
Dying leather with indigo is actually quite a difficult process, it's something that's easy to get not quite right, and even easier to mess up completely. The tannery that have managed to dye the horsehide used on these jackets such a consistent and rich indigo came upon this recipe after years of trial and error. As the process to dye horsehide is very different from the process of dying cotton, you can expect this indigo leather to act a bit differently over time than your favorite pair of jeans.
Over time, the horsehide will lighten up in areas of high wear, fading to a lighter shade of blue. Don't go expecting this thing to ever go hot blue though, the color will remain mostly consistent throughout, as the dye has a much more stable bond with the leather than it ever forms with a cotton thread. You also won't have to worry about accidentally getting indigo all over things, which is a plus for sure.
Fits true to size. Do not wash or dry.
