Many of us spend a not insignificant amount of money, not to mention time, on hair removal, a fact of life that makes one of this season’s breakout fashion trends even more titillating. It’s almost like the gods are trolling us, in fact, because being spotted on bags, coats, skirts, you name it, is so-called pony hair.
The clue’s in the name. Pony hair is leather that’s been left “natural” so to speak, with a hairy surface as opposed to a buttery-smooth one. As you might expect, it has a rather coarse texture, with its wiry hairs creating a surprisingly robust coating.
