Our story · Since 1917
Cut by hand,
carried by hand
Three generations of one family, a single craft, and a promise that has never changed: a leather jacket should be cut and finished by hand, sourced ethically, and worn for a lifetime.
A craft born of necessity
Emilio Moretti has worked in leather since 1917. From the first jacket on, the house has kept to one rule: make nothing that will not last.
More than a century later, almost nothing has changed. Every jacket is still cut from a single hide and finished by one artisan, from the first cut to the last stitch. We have never chased a season. We make one thing, and we make it to outlive trends — and very nearly its owner.
Our ethics
No animal is ever killed for our leather
This is the heart of our house. We work only with hides from animals that have already died naturally. Nothing we make asks for an animal's life — only that what remains is treated with respect: tanned slowly, cut carefully, and made into something meant to last for decades.
Naturally sourced
Only hides from animals that have already died naturally — never an animal killed for the jacket.
Slowly tanned
Tanned over weeks. No rushed chemistry, no shortcuts.
Made to last
Repaired for life. A jacket you keep is the most ethical jacket of all.
The craft
How a jacket is made
Selection
Hides are chosen by hand for grain, weight and temper. One jacket, one hide.
Cutting
A single artisan cuts every panel from one hide so the jacket ages as one.
Stitching
Stitched on machines we have used for decades, with hand-finished seams.
Finishing
Hardware set by hand, a final conditioning, and a lifetime of free repairs.
