Eleven makers in one Yangon workshop

Every Irrawaddy jacket is cut and stitched at Thazin Leatherworks in Hlaing Tharyar, Yangon. Three cutters, six machinists and two finishers share one floor.

We buy whole sides of full-grain lambskin and cowhide, tanned in Tamil Nadu, India. The cutters work around marks by hand so each panel follows the grain.

Workshop: Thazin Leatherworks, Yangon
Leather: Full-grain lambskin and cowhide
Time: About 14 hours of hand work per jacket

Customer reviews

The size chart was right on the money. Soft leather, heavy zips, and it arrived on day 19 as promised.

Sam R., Newtown NSWThe Yangon Rider, size S

Stiff for the first week, now it has softened at the elbows. Sleeves are long enough, which is rare.

Bought the cognac racer for my brother's birthday. He has worn it every weekend since.
