A true color-shifter. Depending on the room and the lighting, this hide dances between a deep greenish-turquoise and a cool, ocean-blue turquoise. When creased, it reveals a gorgeous, lighter turquoise pull-up highlight that gives the bag unbelievable visual movement.
This is a premium, beautifully smooth full-grain cowhide that brings a clean, artistic edge to custom bags. This is a vaulted leather collection, meaning the specific color hides we have in stock are completely retired and no longer available anywhere else.
The Thickness (4–5 oz)
A 4–5 oz weight (about 1.6 to 2.0 mm thick). Don't let the lighter weight fool you, this is a highly resilient, substantial leather.
The Temper (Medium-Firm)
Even though it is a lighter weight than our Kodiak or Bulldog leathers, this hide leans more structured. It has a medium-firm temper with a little flexibility. This means your bag will hold its clean, tailored lines beautifully while still offering a comfortable, organic give when you wear it.
The Scratch Character
Because of its smooth, wax-rich surface, it scratches somewhat easily. You must love a rugged, lived-in look to appreciate this hide. The magic is in the fix: you can easily buff out light surface scratches simply by firmly rubbing them with your fingers, the warmth of your skin shifts the surface waxes right back into place.
Embrace the Imperfections
As a raw, premium full-grain leather, this leather proudly displays the animal's natural life history. It can show fat rolls, neck wrinkles, healed range marks, insect bites, and dark and light spots from the tanning vats. I feature these characterisitics directly into the bag design to highlight its authentic, unpolished roots.
The Dynamic Pull-Up
When the leather moves, bends, or stretches, hidden color undertones burst to the surface, creating stunning depth that continuously shifts and evolves.
