Collection: J&FJ Baker Russet Shoulder

Pure vegetable tanned leather...

A Lesson in English Tanning

When you think of traditional English leather, J&FJ Baker Russet Shoulder Leather is a shining example. This leather boasts a process deeply rooted in English heritage, and yields russet shoulders renowned for their timeless appeal. The process is known as pure vegetable tanning - a ritual championed by us here at A&A Crack & Sons. The use of natural plant-based materials, such as tree barks and leaves, transforms raw animal hides into leather. It's an eco-friendly approach which gives the leather a rich, organic appearance and a unique ageing character.
