For a true adult man, cordovan is the only leather he should own! —That's how appealing cordovan (horsehide) is, making it a truly compelling material. This time, ahead of the promotion for THE WARMTHCRAFTS-MANUFACTURE a brand specializing in horsehide Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building "Adults' Field Trip" GUIDE crew, who are always striving to find the ultimate enjoyment in fashion, will encounter cordovan products that you'll want to cherish for a lifetime, along with the story of how cordovan transforms from raw hide to finished leather goods. Watch the video to the end to see the three men's unique reactions!






This time, the brand that will teach us about the "charm of horsehide" is THE WARMTHCRAFTS-MANUFACTURE, which is based at Shinki Leather, a tannery specializing in horsehide located in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, and develops bags, wallets, small leather goods, accessories, and shoes using THE WARMTHCRAFTS-MANUFACTURE and horsehide as its main materials.
Above all, because they work in conjunction with their parent company, Shinki Leather, handling everything from leather tanning and design to product manufacturing, sales, and care, the balance between quality and price is among the highest in the world. With so many items on display in the store, what kind of cordovan masterpieces will the three crew members encounter?

For Tsuchiya, who loves denim and loafers, these are the perfect cordovan shoes!

Tsuchiya, who exudes a refined atmosphere with her denim and JM Weston loafers, is recommended by THE WARMTHCRAFTS-MANUFACTURE brand manager Adachi to wear a cordovan belt, as "the waistline is important!"

The raw hide from the horse's hindquarters, known as "shell" overseas and called "spectacles" in Japan due to its shape, is difficult to obtain in long lengths due to its form. "When you think of cordovan, you think of shoes and wallets, but if you look closely at this belt, you'll see it's made of three layers," says Tsuchiya.

Adachi has added stitch design accents in three places, and the front side uses aniline cordovan from Shinki Leather, while the back side uses vegetable-tanned leather (cowhide) from Tochigi Leather. In my opinion, this is a collaboration between two of Japan's top tanneries.

Tsuchiya, that's the epitome of luxury! Just thinking about wearing cordovan around your waist gets me excited!


Adachi 's custom-made cordovan leather has a matte finish, but as you touch it, the oils from your fingers will naturally give it a shine, making you feel great when you wear it!

A nice belt can elevate your denim outfit to the next level. Just wearing a "good belt" can boost your mood.

Adachi belts may have the image of being consumables, but since the design doesn't change drastically, I believe that by making them from durable cordovan leather, they can be cherished and used for a very long time.

Let's start with a cordovan wallet, a material that's fun to touch!

According to Adachi, to create a look that is "soft and wears earth tones well," she recommends a compact long wallet in a natural and beautiful green color, especially relevant in today's world.


While a typical Adachi long wallet is 20 centimeters wide, this one is only about 17 centimeters, making it the ultimate in minimalism, perfectly sized to hold a 10,000 yen bill. This green color looks especially beautiful on Ms. Fushinuki, who has lovely hands.

This L-shaped purse is really thin, isn't it? It's a meticulously crafted wallet that embodies everything Adachi-san wanted.


I am amazed by how they make the most of the excellent qualities of knotless cordovan leather in their craftsmanship.

Our craftsmen at Adachi are skilled at creating thin products, and the inside of our wallets is also made entirely of horsehide. When it comes to the leather parts used for the interior lining, we are particular about "how to express the world of 0.5 mm or less with leather."

This cordovan L-shaped long wallet, with its seamless construction, comes in a range of colors, including a navy color exclusive to Isetan, so be sure to check it out!

Tashiro, who wears a horsehide leather biker jacket, wants a unique cordovan leather jacket!

Since Tashiro Adachi has an image of "carrying many large bags," this time I recommend the CORDOVAN DERBY-MINI, a "just-right-sized bag suitable for adults."

Tashiro is a little on the smaller side, but it's just the right size.


While there are trends in bags that men carry, the key concept for this particular bag is "a bag that you can carry stylishly even when you're 60, a bag that won't be left behind by the times."

Tashiro , this is a casual bag you can use for a lifetime.

Adachi 's bag is a cute size, but it's also perfect for everyday use, as it can fit a 500ml plastic bottle upright.


It also comes with an Adachi shoulder strap, so it looks great worn across the body.

Tashiro's bag can be worn with both classic and casual outfits.

Adachi cordovan leather is known for its durability, and the bag is constructed with increased strength in each part, yet it's light enough for women to carry, making it a timeless bag that can be shared and passed down within the family.
