And it was another time a reindeer, shot by a hunter in the northern highlands of Iceland. There are holes in this skin, and it was made by a bullet - the bullet that ended the life of this animal for meat, game, pleasure and leather. The Icelandic Reindeer, is chromium dyed in the west of Iceland. The twill weave lining is an Italian cupro cotton [45% CU 55% CO], and the hand attached shank buttons are drop cast in our studio from oxidised metal alloy.
