■Material The surface is intentionally processed to be nappy, so the initial touch is slightly rough, but over time, this rough feeling disappears and it transforms into a lustrous finish. Once you've broken in this leather, it becomes an item you won't want to part with, making it a popular choice among leather enthusiasts. This leather is made using French raw hides, and is produced using a traditional technique called the "vacchetta method," which involves slowly impregnating the raw hides with tannin extracts derived from plants, and then carefully oiling them with a uniquely blended bovine leg oil. Compared to chrome tanning, which uses chemicals, this process takes more time and is therefore more costly, but it is also an environmentally friendly material.
■Design With a slim buckle and simple strap, it offers an elegant casual finish. Both ends of the belt feature "nenbiki," a line impressed into the leather with heat, providing a crisp and clean impression.
