New Leather Release! This Shrunken Horsehide leather will age like a traditional Black Teacore horsehide to a Brown core underneath the Black pigment finish, but comes “Shrunken” during the tanning process, leaving a thicker weight with a very heavy grain structure.

Handmade, hand-lasted and hand-welted Boondocker boots with 6.5-inch tall ankle shaft and brass hardware in 2.2 MM THICK Shrunken Black Teacore Horsehide leather made on our Hank last. Shrunken Black Teacore Horsehide leather vegetable tanned and pigment finished by Nitta Tannery in Himeji, Japan.
