The Superior Labor Tochigi Leather Collection
Tochigi is a pit-tanned nubuck leather. Pit tanning is an ancient method of slowly tanning leather using vegetable tannins. The leather is soaked in a tank-like "pit" and meticulously finished over a period of several weeks to several months. It takes time, but the leather is strong and resilient, and the more it is used, the more it develops its patina and a deeper character.
