When new, the leather may feel relatively firm. With wear, it gradually conforms to the body and develops natural creases and variations in texture. These changes are part of the character of vegetable-tanned horsehide rather than defects. The result is a jacket that becomes increasingly personal the longer it is worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eContrast Stitching\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Seal Brown horsehide is paired with carefully selected contrast stitching inspired by vintage examples. Against the dark leather, the stitching creates subtle visual definition around the seams and construction lines. This type of stitching also demands greater accuracy during assembly, as every line is clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMade by Binhai Global\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBinhai Global has been producing reproduction flight jackets and military clothing since 2006.
