the utility keychain has been hand cut from a butter soft full grain washed 2.6mm vegetable tanned culatta leather with a matte black finish. culatta is a special cut combined of the rear just above the cordovan, the belly middles and the hind shanks, offering a dense structure, tight grain and medium to firm temper. vegetable tanning is a traditional method of treating the hide using natural extracts such as tree bark, for a truly artisanal and robust finish. the leather has been treated with an oil dye to give a distressed worn in appearance.
the keychain features a single piece pattern construction, sewn with our signature overlock stitch using a 0.65mm hand waxed japanese linen thread. a distressed swivel clip allows you to easily and conveniently attach the keychain to a bag, belt or trousers and is complimented by hand forged iron hardware and a hand cut, shaped and hammered 3mm 10 hour slow oxidised .925 sterling silver key ring.
each piece comes in a handmade leather pouch.
custom leathers, sizes and finishes are available upon request.
