I found the WEIRDEST leather product ever (you can't buy it)
DescriptionMost leather I review on this channel is meant to be protected, babied, kept safe. This one is meant to be twisted, grabbed, and soaked in olive oil... for 660 years. It's called kispet, the pants Turkish oil wrestlers have worn since 1361, in a tradition that just held its 665th tournament in Edirne, Turkey. No buttoMore
Most leather I review on this channel is meant to be protected, babied, kept safe. This one is meant to be twisted, grabbed, and soaked in olive oil... for 660 years.
It's called kispet, the pants Turkish oil wrestlers have worn since 1361, in a tradition that just held its 665th tournament in Edirne, Turkey. No buttons, no belts, 35 to 40 hand-cut pattern pieces, made to measure for one wrestler at a time. You can't buy one in a store. It doesn't exist that way.
I visited the 83-year-old master craftsman who's hand-made over 16,000 of these, alone, in one room, for the last 67 years, a man on UNESCO's Living Human Heritage list, whose work four golden belt champions have worn.
UNSPONSORED. This is a personal story, not a paid partnership or brand review.
