【Coming Soon】Harness Clasp Bracelet【JDG94653】

The "Harness Clasp Bracelet" embodies a time when humans and horses shared the same working hours. Its form is not decorative, but rather a necessary outcome derived from function, based on the structure of horse tack designed to withstand load and wear, and the honest craftsmanship of thick leather. Originally, a part of equipment used in the workplace has been reconfigured as a product to be worn. As it is used, the leather and metal will develop character, quietly maturing together day by day. "Harness Clasp" refers to the fastening structure used in horse tack and work harnesses. This structure, which combines secure fastening with ease of attachment and detachment, has been widely adopted in the field of work equipment since the late 19th century. A vintage piece from a long-established American hardware manufacturer. Designed with durability and reliability prioritized over ornamentation, its structure itself speaks to its function, making it a perfect example of practical hardware. A bracelet using a vintage buckle from North & Judd, circa 1950-60s. The leather used is a tea-core leather produced specifically for this piece. This is an original material, reproducing the texture of high-quality leather that existed approximately 20 years ago, achieved by a domestic tannery. By applying multiple layers of oil, suppleness and a high fit when worn are achieved. Each piece of brown leather is hand-dyed with black dye to create a deep black color. With repeated use, the unique color change and natural sheen characteristic of tea-core leather will emerge. North & Judd is a long-established hardware manufacturer founded in Connecticut, USA, in the late 19th century. Known for its brass parts for horse tack, military gear, and workwear, its "Anchor Mark" engraving, in particular, became widely recognized as a symbol of reliability. With its robust construction and high precision, it remains supported by vintage enthusiasts and craftsmen even today, symbolizing American heritage.
