Crystal is a cracked leather and charismatic with an outstanding color line and handsome looks. Just the right amount of wax gives the leather the ability to age and break over the years for a one of a kind patina. It’s a natural look and has a timeless appeal. Crystal hides are dyed for color using environmentally friendly tanning procedures. Crystal hides are layered with wax that penetrate the leather and give it the ability to crack and age. A final clear water-based top coat is added to the surface of the leather to give it a smooth, soft feel. This full top grain leather is great for any application. Nature’s markings are part of the appeal of this leather and should be appreciated. Healed scars, bug bites, neck and belly wrinkles all contribute to the character of Crystal. Note that Crystal is considered a pull-up leather so expect the color to vary when used in tight applications. Color variation is a natural characteristic of any aniline leather. Colors will vary from dye lot to dye lot. Prolonged exposure to light will cause pure anilines to fade.
