A collaboration between Iron Heart and Simmons Bilt, the Savannah takes an iconic jacket design but tailors it for the 21st century wearer, with a trimmer, more tapered silhouette. Handmade in Scotland, this piece has been constructed from 1.2mm European prairie horsehide, combination-tanned in Germany. The jacket is then fitted with a 100% cotton lining from Halley Stevensons in Dundee, with other features including a heavy-duty brass zipper, handwarmer pockets and an internal storage pouch, ensuring practicality to match the vintage style.

Leather Care

Prairie Horsehide

- “Prairie” typically refers to the North American region from which the horses are bred and raised to produce these hides. 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 usually 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
