    Veg. hide darkens when it is untreated/unfinished. Like those wallets shown earlier. Veg. tanned hides made for jackets are finished and will age like you want them.

    Is this Horsehide ?

    If the vendor of that is reliable and they say it's horsehide you should not doubt. It looks like horsehide from here but not of the best quality.

    My BK Westfall in badalassi cowhide

    The vegetable tanned leather has no problem with water, provided that it is not HOT. All aniline finish leathers will absorb water, rain drops etc, but after they dry no problem. The above is not 100% correct. It is a general statement that applies to veg. tanned leather of the kind shown...

    Temple of Jawnz?

    Ha ha ha. Your eyes don't fool you. The designs, leathers and materials they used aren't anything special at all but their miraculous sales numbers can be mainly attributed to their success in grasping the vibe of the modern leather fashion followers (who are far more than the vintage leather...

    Full Grain v. Top Grain

    Full Grain v. Top Grain

    Hi, On the contrary. You are trying to determine differences from photographs and relying on magnification when the difference is very obvious and crystal clear when seeing it in person. You CAN see the difference in person. Even from a distance. Not only that. You can also FEEL the difference...
