There is no collection and no season. There is a ledger, and things are added to it when they are ready and not before.
Vegetable-tanned hide, 3.5 mm, cut in one length from the back of the hide where the fibre is tightest. Saddle-stitched by hand along both edges. Solid brass buckle, hand-finished. The first thing we made, and the last thing you will replace.
Selvedge denim, loomstate — unwashed, unsanforised, and yours to break in. Copper rivets at every point of strain. Chainstitched hem. The rear patch is cut in our workshop from the same hide as No. 001, so the leather on your jeans and the leather on your belt came off the same animal.
Eight pockets, hand-sewn, waxed linen thread throughout. Rolls to a bundle the length of a forearm. Made first for our own bench, then for everyone who saw it there.
Four pockets, one seam, no lining, no glue. There is almost nothing to it, which is the entire point — nothing to come apart, nothing to wear out, nothing to explain.
Bridle leather, hand-stitched, brass hardware taken directly from harness patterns. Unlined, so you can see every seam and judge it. Two a month, no more.
Cut to take a banknote flat, because folding money twice is how a wallet dies. Twelve card slots, one long pocket, a single hand-stitched seam down each side. Vegetable-tanned, unlined, and stiff enough to stand up on the bench for the first month. It will not stay that way, and it is not supposed to.
Two-piece, tapered, from the same hide as the belts. Hand-stitched at six to the inch, edges burnished and waxed, no lining and no glue — a lined strap traps sweat and comes apart in a year. Tell us the lug width and the wrist. Brass or steel buckle.
The most honest thing a saddlery can make. Bridle leather, brass hardware, hand-stitched throughout, built to the same standard as tack that has to hold a horse — which means it will hold anything you own. Sold as a pair. The number is struck on the collar, and the dog's name goes beside it if you want it there.
A flat case for papers, cut from a single piece of hide and folded rather than seamed at the base, so there is one less thing to fail. Hand-stitched sides, brass turn-lock taken from a harness pattern. Holds a laptop and a notebook and nothing else, which is the point.
The largest thing we make and the slowest. Bridle leather, hand-stitched at every seam, brass fittings, saddle-stitched handles built the way a girth is built — layered, and stitched through. Unlined. Around three hundred hours of bench time, which is why there are four a year and no more.
The same selvedge cloth as No. 002, cut square and roomy over a shirt. Three patch pockets, copper rivets at the corners, a leather collar facing cut from the belt hide. A working coat, not a fashion coat — it will fade at the elbows and the pocket mouths before it fades anywhere else, and that is the map of how you used it.
Lighter selvedge, woven on the same narrow looms. Chainstitched throughout, felled seams, real shell buttons. No rivets — a shirt does not need them, and a house that puts hardware where it is not needed is decorating rather than building.
The same selvedge cloth as No. 002, cut long in the body. Leather collar facing. In development on the bench; it will be added to the ledger when it is right, and not to meet a season.
Where the two halves of the house meet: a selvedge denim body, with straps, pocket facings and a cross-back yoke cut from the belt hide and saddle-stitched to the cloth. Made first for our own bench. It is the only piece we own more of than we sell.
Replace with a commissioned still: raw hide on the bench, awl mid-stroke, or the numbered patch on a finished jean.
The register is the only way in. It is short, and it moves slowly.
