The Flat Head’s single rider — a stone-cold classic, distilled to its purest form.
Cut from 1.3mm Flat Head horsehide, tanned by Shinki using a custom vegetable process that brings out a deep, nuanced brown just waiting to be worn in.

Inspired by the center-zip, classic-collared silhouettes of the ’50s, this version follows suit with brass hardware, universal zippers, leather piping at the rear arms and yoke, and a bold red kersey rayon lining. A best-in-class take on the brown leather rider.
