To meet the criteria of 50% cattle leather, I decided to weave leather throughout the jacket, with the collar being made from leather. I designed a jacket for the high street but sustainably processed by turning cattle leather from post production waste into strips at 3cm tall. To keep the weight down I thus added calico strips at 3cm tall.
