WHAT'S THE HYPE ABOUT VEG TAN LEATHER?

Veg tan raw is leather tanned slowly with natural plant tannins (bark, wood) instead of chemical chrome tanning, left undyed and unfinished straight off that process. It's prized because it's firm enough to hold shape (belts, wallets, boots) and, being untreated, it darkens and develops a rich patina with wear and sun exposure over time rather than just wearing out.

Compared to fast-made leather, chrome-tanned in about a day using chemical salts and usually coated with a synthetic finish, veg tan takes weeks to months to produce properly.

That slower process results in a denser, more durable hide that ages and improves rather than just breaking down, while quick-tanned leather tends to look and feel more uniform and "plasticky," and doesn't develop the same character over time.

It's leather that shows an honest history of use rather than one built for speed and cost.

The overshirt earned its place somewhere between a shirt and a jacket — substantial enough to wear as the outer layer on a cool morning, light enough to not commit to a full coat. Fine wale corduroy and a quilted lining is the right combination for that middle ground: the tighter pile gives a cleaner, more refined look than its chunkier cousins, and the quilting adds warmth from within.

Pine is the colour that makes most sense here. A deep teal-green that shifts with the light — darker in the shade, richer in the sun — and sits well against denim, canvas or wool. Brass snap buttons, two chest pockets, two lower pockets, and a fit that layers easily over a heavy knit or a flannel without pulling across the shoulders.
