Constructed from premium vegetable tanned horsehide, the leather used to create this Iron Heart original design jacket is sourced from Himeji, the tanning capital of Japan. Pigment dyed blue - meaning that once the pigment fades out, the natural leather will begin to show underneath - the contemporary design utilises a double-breasted, asymmetrical YKK zipper opening to increase wind-resistance. Other features include a snapped stand up collar, zippered pockets and cuffs and a colour-matched blue polyester lining - all adding up to create the perfect blend of functionality, durability and modern style

Leather Care

Horsehide

- Horsehide is a dense, durable leather known for its toughness, wind resistance, and ability to break in over time without losing structural integrity. Compared to cowhide, it has a tighter grain and firmer feel, making it well-suited to outerwear like motorcycle and workwear jackets


- Over time, horsehide will develop character through creasing, darkening, and subtle patina. Unlike Shell Cordovan, it has a more textured surface and is less prone to fine scratching, though sharp abrasives can still scuff or gouge the finish


- Horsehide is typically treated during tanning with oils and waxes, giving it a degree of water resistance. We recommend conditioning only when the leather shows signs of dryness — about once or twice a year depending on wear and climate. Use a neutral leather conditioner or balm sparingly, applying a small amount and buffing thoroughly. Avoid over-conditioning, as it can soften the leather excessively and affect its structured shape


- For cleaning, start with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, and gently wipe down the jacket. Never soak the leather. If the jacket gets wet, blot gently and allow it to naturally dry at room temperature, away from heat sources. Once dry, a light buff with a soft cloth will restore its finish
