1PIU1UGUALE3 Silver Buckle + Shrunken Leather Belt This belt features a silver buckle engraved with the 1PIU1UGUALE3 logo, crafted by artisans. The silver casting process typically involves producing multiple pieces at once, but to enhance precision, only two buckles are made in a single casting. The smaller the cast quantity, the higher the silver molding rate, reducing air bubbles during casting and increasing the luster and strength of the silver's surface after finishing. The belt is made from cowhide shrunken leather with a moderate amount of oil. It develops a textured sheen with wear. By sandwiching leather of varying hardness inside the naturally textured leather, stretching and deformation are reduced, providing a comfortable fit with a pleasant fullness. The production method employs a casting process, but to enhance precision, instead of producing multiple pieces together, only two buckles are made per casting tree. This increases the silver molding rate, virtually eliminating air bubbles during casting and enhancing the luster and strength of the silver's surface during finishing. The "ibushi" (oxidized) finish applied during product processing is not a simple immersion in a processing solution, but rather a process that achieves a deep color and a sense of weight by meeting several conditions. During polishing, the surface texture of the metal is adjusted to leave a slight roughness, allowing the color to adhere easily only to the areas to be smoked. By changing the texture, the durability after the processing solution is applied and the color change are controlled. The leather is domestically produced cow soft shrunken leather, processed one sheet at a time by artisans. ● Retail Price: ¥54,000 ● Size: Total length 114cm, Waist size approx. 80cm～101cm, Belt width approx. 3cm ● Material: Cowhide ● Color: Brown It is a beautiful item with minimal signs of wear.
