We use "ALASKA" leather made by "La Perla Azzurra", a tanner certified by the Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather Association.
This belt was manufactured using a new mold. With a sophisticated shape, it has a more sporty shape. The thickness is 3mm flat to suit a sporty watch with a voluminous feel. The stitching is hand-stitched and has a single letter that complements the shape of the belt.
Since its founding in 1967 in Santa Croce, Tuscany, Italy, La Perla Azzurra has been using high-quality, thick leather from France and a thorough commitment to We are a long-established tanner that continues to produce the highest quality Italian leather, tanning it with vegetable tannin extracted from the trunk of the Queplacho tree from Argentina.
Alaska is a dye-dyed double shoulder leather that is blown with wax and then shrink-processed using a drum to penetrate the wax.
◆Bridle leather (waxed) is impregnated with a white wax ingredient called bloom and oil that stands out on the surface. Its biggest feature is that it looks different from other leathers at first glance. The appearance of the surface changes depending on how the bloom falls. When the bloom is completely wiped off, the luster of the wax that has already soaked into the skin will appear on the surface, making it glossy.
For everyday care, just wipe it with a soft cloth. Brushing or wiping vigorously will cause the wax to rub off and fade away, becoming darker and giving you an aged look at an early stage.
*Depending on the frequency of use, if you wear it from an unpolished state, it will become fully polished in about a month.
*The color and texture of the leather may differ slightly depending on the lot.
*This wearing leather has not been completely color-fastened in order to retain its good texture. Please note that the color may fade due to sweat or rain. Be especially careful when white clothing.

As others have written, it seems to be softer and more flexible than the typical image of bridle leather.
I put it on an old Yoshida watch, so it looks a bit heavy, but I really like it.
This is a book that I can recommend.
By the way, the grain is subtle.
Although it is thick, it is relatively flexible, so contrary to its appearance, it is a belt that fits comfortably on the wrist. Please enjoy it.
It is quite thick, but surprisingly flexible and quickly becomes accustomed to your arm.
It seems necessary to slowly cultivate the changes that occur over time.
Thank you very much for your comment. As you say, it is thick, but it is also somewhat soft and easy to use. I hope you will enjoy wearing it with your watch.
