Boncoura Type 3 Horsehide Leather Jacket - Hand Waxed Faded Brown

- The Boncoura Horsehide Type 3 Leather Jacket is one of the brand’s latest leather pieces, developed with a completely different approach from their previous Sasha and Car Coat models. Rather than pursuing a perfectly uniform appearance, Boncoura focuses on preserving the natural character of the leather itself — including grain variation, growth marks, natural veins, and the unique texture found in each hide. All of these elements give the jacket a strong sense of depth and individuality from the very beginning.

The horsehide is sourced from Europe and fully vegetable tanned in Japan using Boncoura’s original tanning recipe. Large amounts of natural wax and oil are worked deeply into the leather, creating a rich yet flexible feel with a quiet, understated sheen. Instead of an overly polished surface, the leather retains a natural expression that slowly evolves through wear and time.

The final finishing is carried out entirely by hand through Boncoura’s signature hand-waxed process, where wax is carefully applied one piece at a time. This finishing allows the leather to develop a deeper tone and layered contrast through movement, friction, and daily wear. Unlike typical tea-core leather that fades lighter over time, this horsehide gradually gains depth and expression as it ages, giving each jacket its own distinct character over the years.
