Leather Care
Tochigi Cowhide
- Tochigi cowhide is sourced from the world-renowned Tochigi Leather Company, arguably Japan's most esteemed tannery. Specialising in vegetable-tanned leathers, they produce exceptionally thick cowhides. What this leather may lack in tensile strength and grain density compared to horsehide, it makes up for in sheer thickness
- Over time, cowhide will develop character through creasing, subtle color changes, and patina — especially in full-grain and vegetable-tanned versions. It’s generally more forgiving than horsehide and less prone to cracking, though it can still dry out if neglected
- Conditioning helps maintain suppleness and prevent drying or stiffening. Apply a small amount of neutral leather conditioner when the leather starts to feel dry or loses its luster — usually every 6–12 months depending on use. Work the conditioner in with a soft cloth and buff off any excess to avoid buildup, which can dull the surface or attract dirt
- For cleaning, wipe with a dry or lightly dampened cloth to remove dust and grime. For more stubborn dirt, a small amount of mild soap can be used with water — just make sure to test on a hidden area first. Never soak the leather. If the leather gets wet, blot gently and allow it to dry naturally at room temperature, away from heat sources, then condition if needed to restore moisture
