VINTAGE WORKS_DH5684_Tea Core

Octagonal buckle made of solid brass. The beveled, three-dimensional form gives a simple belt just the right amount of presence. As it is used, it changes to a deep color unique to brass, allowing you to enjoy the aging process along with the leather. Belt width: Approximately 38mm Tea Core (Black with a brown core) Beneath the black-finished surface of the leather lies brown leather. As you use it, the black on the surface will be absorbed into the leather, transforming it into a three-dimensional dark brown. Enjoy an aging process different from solid colors. Daily movements, such as rubbing around the buckle, the tip, and the belt loop, will directly become the leather's character, leading to a one-of-a-kind aging process. Initially, it has a sharp impression. And after a few years, it will develop a deep, vintage dark brown character. This is a black that you can nurture, perfect for denim lovers. *Orders that appear to be for resale or from proxy buyers may not be accepted. About the product ・We use natural leather without post-processing such as hiding scratches or stretching wrinkles, so there will always be some marks on the leather. ・Due to special dyeing, there may be color unevenness and color fading. ・As the product ages with use, we ask for your understanding of this characteristic. If you do not understand or are overly sensitive to this, please purchase from a physical store or refrain from purchasing. ・Colors may appear different on screen than in real life. ・Color may transfer to other items due to sweat, etc. ・Product colors may vary slightly from the photos depending on the production lot. ・The serial number may not be the same as in the image. The above are important notes. Spiral Note "Tea core" does not mean "peeling leather." When people hear "tea core," many might imagine "leather where the black coating peels off to reveal brown." However, in reality, the aging process varies greatly depending on the type of leather and dyeing method. Vintage Works' tea core is the type where the black surface and brown core slowly blend together with use, developing into a deep color. Therefore, it's not simply "the black peeling off," but rather enjoying the way the entire leather changes to a color with depth. Example of Vintage Works Tea Core Aging
