Vintage is a wax finish aniline dyed leather. It has a wonderful rugged charm, which is enhanced by its great waxy hand. Choice European cattle hides are used for the wonderful article that show brillliant coloration throughout. The effect is acheived by introduction a supple milling process and allowing a mixture of crackles and pebbles to develop throughout the hide. This gives the leather not only an aged appearance, but also a very cozy feel. Visible insect bites, and scars from healed wounds add to the elegant character of the Vintage. The wax application allows the leather to repair itself by gently rubbing over light surface scratches to keep its genuine beauty.
For cleaning use damp cloth with a mild soap or leather cleaner.
