And it was another time a horse, lost in the awkward grassed hills that cover Iceland, that gave its skin for yours.  These horses, genetically unique to Iceland, are ridden till the end of their days, then taken for all parts of it’s body. As with a fingerprint, the hide of each horse has a unique pattern and texture, ranging from a smooth to a wrinkled, stiff or soft hide. The skins are left unsplit.  No two horses and no to jackets are the same. This uneven basket weave is 100% cotton and is produced in an Italian knitting mill then cold dyed in Reykjavík, and the hand attached shank buttons are drop cast in our studio from oxidised metal alloy.

Due to the unique nature of this product, it has a lead time of six weeks to shipping from order.
