The North Atlantic Grey seal periodically washes ashore on the Icelandic coast.  When found, the bodies are shipped to the tanner in the north, worked, and sent to Reykjavík.  The pocket lining is from salvaged military linings, and the hand attached shank buttons are drop cast in our studio from oxidised metal alloy.
