Outer Leather
【SHRINK LEATHER】
About Shrink Leather
The shrink leather used on the surface features a natural grain, which is the inherent charm of the leather. The grain pattern varies significantly depending on the part of the hide. We offer stylish and trendy colors that complement guitars and basses. As we value the natural beauty of leather, there may be indentations, depressions, or prominent streaks.
【HORWEEN-LUX LEATHER】
We have adopted "Chromexcel leather," a representative oil leather from Horween, with their cooperation. Chromexcel leather, still made by hand, is used in boots by Red Wing and Wesco, and in rider jackets by Schott, and is loved worldwide. Its wild and overwhelming visual presence, which is clearly distinguishable from other cowhide straps, makes it an excellent match for vintage guitars. There may be scratches and light-colored areas depending on the location, but please enjoy them as part of its unique character.
【PRINTED PYTHON】
About Printed Python Leather
The python pattern is perfect for creating a chic yet wild atmosphere. Since the colors are white and brown, it is surprisingly easy to match with any fashion style or instrument. Please note that the print may wear off with intense friction.
【COW HAIR-LUX】
About Cow Hair Leather
Cowhide with hair, which instantly gives a strong rock vibe with just a slight difference in texture, is created by printing or dyeing hair-on cowhide. Please be aware that the hair may shed due to friction. Getting it wet may cause hardening or tearing.
Inner Leather (surface touching clothing)

About Smooth Leather

If you are concerned, please choose a light color or use a color transfer prevention spray.
【SUEDE】
The suede leather used on the back is genuine leather with fine napping that prevents slipping, making it popular for calm playing styles and as a countermeasure against neck dives. Please note that some surface fibers may shed due to friction.

CARE
Lightly brush and wipe with a dry cloth.
Regularly replenishing oils (nutrients) helps maintain its luster and suppleness.
If the surface feels dry, apply a thin layer of cream or leather preservative spray suitable for the material. If it gets wet, gently pat away the moisture with a dry cloth and air dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
