DESCRIPTION: Casual elegance describes this new leather from New Zealand's North Island. An aniline leather dressed with wax and oil that is then milled and polished. The tanner's artistry is seen in the burnished, polished surface that complements and contrasts with a velvety texture that showcases a luxurious tracking effect that will become more visually appealing with use and wear. The leather has a cool, "drapey" hand that tailors beautifully on a variety of frames. Burnham is a natural full grain leather. The hides have not been altered in any way during the tanning process. Shade variation is normal and areas of hides abosorb dyes differently, so natural dye lot variations will occur. Remember that a swatch is a general representation of the leather's color and texture, not an exact match. Scars, marks, and branding are not flaws but rather are proof of authenticity, what we call "hallmarks of the trail". Leathers will fade if exposed to direct sunlight. Burnham is a pull up leather which means color diffusion and "burst" will occur when worked by hand. If any of these characteristics is a problem please consider a "painted" leather. One that has been corrected and heavily pigmented.
