Description
The Cossack Collar Jacket is a casual "sportswear" (as in, not formal wear) style of outerwear from the early 1900s. Cut with an old school spread collar, it's got a very casual fit, with a relaxed and slightly-cropped body, a western back yoke, and two small front pockets. It's finished with dark corozo nut buttons, and lined with a wool/cotton cloth through the body and nylon down the sleeves.
One of their flagship leathers, Y'2's Kakishibu horsehide is a shop favorite — an incredible custom horsehide that looks stellar from day one and ages quickly and drastically. The leather itself is difficult to produce and sensitive to work with, as this isn't just any natural (undyed) veg-tan leather, this horsehide is tanned and dyed with persimmons.
Kakishibu is a traditional Japanese dying technique that uses aged persimmon tannins, with "Kakishibu" literally meaning "persimmon astringency". Kakishibu has also been called “Taiyo-zome (sun-dye)” due to the photosensitivity of the dye — areas exposed to light will grow darker and richer in tone, eventually reaching a true persimmon color. As a result of this increased photosensitivity, this Kakishibu horsehide will age faster than most natural veg-tan leathers.
