Crazy Horse Leather collection

Seagull1963.com presents: a first exclusive collaboration with Hansen & Jacobs, a new premium leather straps brand. The 2 brothers behind Hansen & Jacobs have been in leather processing for years, but have always been under the radar, with no online presence whatsoever. That’s why we are very proud to announce their first ‘official’ collection: “the Crazy Horse Leather collection”.

Green Leather

The name is a little deceiving: the name derived from the leather’s popularity of use in saddle making – saddlers appreciated the unique combination of elegance, toughness and water resistance of this top-quality leather. Crazy Horse leather is made from full-grain cowhide – the highest-quality natural leather in the world. A coating of natural wax is applied to the leather, then buffed and polished to a rich, smooth finish. Wear and tear will increase the bag’s beauty – bumps and scratches change the color tones in the leather, creating the rich, multi-hued sheen that only the finest natural leather is known for.

Fully authentic cowhide should show irregularities – the Crazy Horse leather treatment process takes the beauty of these irregularities a step further than what you see on lesser leathers – bumping, scratching, and handling the leather creates a stunning variety of rich hues that add to the straps’s rustic look.
