“Wow! What a nice alligator!” Are the first words out of your mouth. Taggart’s color palette has a range of unique tri tone colors. Taggart hides are embossed full top grain leather is tanned using a specific tanning process formulated to ensure the leather retains the decorative embossing for years to come. Taggart is embossed using a mold instead of a standard embossing plate, which allows the embossing to have a three dimensional appearance. Taggart hides are layered with three different water-based finishes and glazes that give the leather its rich deep color. Since all of the finishes are applied by hand inconsistencies from hide to hide and within each hide should be understood and appreciated. Since this leather is embossed you may notice some plate lines in the finished product. Expect color variation from swatch to order. A clear water-based top coat is applied for protection. Please expect natural characteristics such as healed scars, scratches, neck and belly wrinkles in Tagggart. Natural characteristics are part of pure aniline leathers and should be understood. Like most pure aniline leathers prolonged exposure to light will cause them to fade
