Fleeces Rawhide Parchment

Rich, soft, sensual — these fleeces are worked by hand with ancient tawing and dressing methods that refuse to be hurried. The result is a lanolin-rich, deep-pile, unclipped leather fleece that feels like something stolen from memory and made new: warm, supple, and built to wear in with a life.

Every piece — rawhide, parchment, fleece, leather — is produced by hand in our micro-tannery. No shortcuts. No chemical shortcuts that strip character. Just time, salt, oils, and sweat, coaxing out natural oils and strength so each hide holds its shape, breathes, and ages into a patina only real use can earn.

Perfect for bespoke interiors, heavy-duty apparel, saddle and harness work, or a centerpiece throw that elevates a room. These fleeces aren’t for decoration; they’re for living with. They retain lanolin for natural water resistance and an indulgent, tactile softness that only true hand-tawed hides possess.

We make small runs and take commissions. If you want something that refuses to blend in, that grows more honest with every year, welcome — tell us what you need and we’ll make it by hand. No gloss, no compromise.
