100% Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather
Vegetable tanning is an artisan tradition that the Tuscan tanneries have handed down from father to son for centuries, mixing antique recipes and state-of-the-art technology.
The transformation from raw hides into a material that will resist throughout time is a process that slowly happens into wooden drums, in full respect of man and the environment. An astonishing process based on the use of natural tannins extracted from trees, on modern technologies and machineries and on the slow passing of time.
Among the various tanning methods, the vegetable tanning is still nowadays the most traditional, the most recognisable, the only one able to give leather unique characteristics. It is able to join comfort and look, fashion and tradition, uniqueness and versatility of the product.
Vacchetta leather does not lie, it is not afraid to be the testimony of time.
The vegetable tanning process is based on the use of tannin, active ingredient responsible for the transformation of the animal hide into a compact and resistant material durable through the years. This natural substance can be found in many different trees and vegetables, in variable concentration according to the different species. These natural tannin extracts make the vegetable-tanned leather unique and easily distinguishable.
Vegetable-tanned leather absorbs the traces of our life, it matures without ruining. The natural ageing does not compromise its resistance. It reveals the signs of time and use as the most personal expression of naturalness and truth. The colours of tannins give the leather an unmistakable warm and brilliant shade that becomes more intense with the passing of time and the daily use.
Choosing a product made of Tuscan Vegetable-Tanned Leather means choosing a one-of-a-kind object that reflects the owner’s lifestyle.
No leather looks like any other, its peculiar characteristics offer a wide range of possible interpretations in shape and design. Designers can find a material able to add value to a project of fashion, consumers can find a product overcoming fashion and trends and gaining value with the passing of time.
Vegetable tanning is a tanning process taking inspiration from nature and – in full harmony – to nature going back.
Vegetable-tanned leather does not contain any toxic substance harmful to man and is highly tolerable for those who suffer from metal related allergies.
Vegetable-tanned leather productive cycle is strictly monitored to ensure a low impact on the environment:
- No animal is killed for its skin. On the contrary, the raw hides used by our tanneries are the discarded by-products of the food industry producing meat for human consumption.
- Being tanned with natural tannins, a vegetable-tanned leather object can be easily disposed of at the end of its life, thanks to its chemical-biological characteristics.
- Our tanneries have made huge investments in depuration systems and waste recycling that make them work in full respect of man and the environment.
- Many of the substances used during the tanning process are recovered, recycled and reused in different fields. Hair removed from raw hides is transformed into agricultural fertilizer; sludge produced by the depuration plants is reused in the construction field to make bricks.
- Vegetable-tanned leather, recognizable from its trademark, does not contain any toxic substance such as azo-dyes, nickel, PCP or chrome VI
Finally those consumers who care about product’s quality and environmental protection have a reference trademark when they buy their leather products!
MANY COLORS TO CHOOSE
Choosing the size of braces you require is not an exact science as it depends on many factors, including, your height, the fullness of your figure, your shape, the elasticity of the braces material and indeed the tension of the worn braces.
The below should be used as an approximate guide when choosing a pair of trouser braces from our range of braces for adults.
Please bear in mind;
- We use good quality elastic, for controlled elasticity.
- Braces sizes are generously cut.
- All Braces can be shortened by using the slide size adjusters.
We do Tailored braces. So the right way is to take right Customer's Measurements.
Small Size - Braces Length up to 40 Inches Long / 101.5cm
These are suitable for a small build person up to Medium Jacket Size or up to approximately 5ft 6 inches tall.
Standard Size - Braces Length up to 44 Inches Long / 112cm
These are suitable for a medium build person up to Large Jacket Size or up to approximately 5ft 10 inches tall. These are the most popular size braces and will fit the “average” person.
XL Size - Extra Long Braces Length up to 48 Inches Long / 122 cm
These are suitable for a person up to X Large Jacket Size or up to approximately 6ft 2 inches tall.
XXL Size - Extra Extra Long Braces Length up to 52 Inches Long / 132cm
These are suitable for a person up to XX/XXX Large Jacket or a large build person and / or over 6ft 2 inches tall.
XXXL Size - Extra Extra Extra Long Braces length up to 56 Inches Long / 142cm
These are suitable for a person up to 4XL jacket or over 6ft 4inches tall and of a larger build.
XXXXL Size - Extra Long Braces Length up to 60 Inches Long / 152cm
These are suitable for a person up to 6XL jacket size or up to approximately 6ft 5 inches tall.
The length of the braces required can be measured from the trouser waistband at the back, at the point where the braces will attach, up over the shoulder, and down to the trouser waistband at the front at the point they will attach on the front trouser waistband. (Diagonally in the case of X Shaped Braces).
If in doubt, choose a longer pair of trouser braces as they can be easily made smaller by use of the slide size adjuster, whereas a shorter pair can only be made longer by stretching the braces material uncomfortably longer.
So, let’s start by showing you how to measure your own body for the ever-popular Clip on Braces, and in this instance, in the X Back style.
Firstly, ensure that your trousers are sitting comfortably on your waist in the position where you would normally wear them. Take a flexible tailor’s tape. Hold the measure at the top of your trousers waistband at the back, taking it over your opposite shoulder and straight down at the front, to the top of trouser waistband.
This measurement is the length of braces that you will need.
If you don’t have a flexible tailor’s tape, a piece of string would work just as well and then measure this against a measuring tape.
It’s important to remember that braces have slide adjusters on them, they can be adjusted to make braces shorter.
With this in mind, if the measurement was 42”, you would need to order our Standard 44 inch Braces, but if the measurement was 45 Inches, you would need to order our XL 48 inch braces, and so on.
Although not strictly necessary for functionality of the braces you may wish to also consider from a fashion perspective the position of the slide adjusters, in terms of where you like to wear them.
If you measure say 44 inches and order 44-inch braces the slider adjuster will sit relatively close to your trouser waistband dependent on the elasticity of the braces, if however you would the adjusters to sit much higher on your body, then order the next size of braces up.
So that’s it for X Back Clip on Braces, but if you want Y Back Clip on Braces then we must adjust the measurement process. It’s slightly more difficult to exactly measure yourself and you may need some assistance with measuring.
Start at the back, with measurement taken from the top of the waistband in the centre of your trousers. Take the measure straight up your back and then diagonally over to your shoulder, you will form one side of a Y shape.
From your shoulder go straight down your front to the top of your trouser waistband. This is the measurement and minimum size you should order
