SonnyMarrow Report post Posted April 21, 2014 I just received some Sunrise Wigwam chrome-veg retan leather from Brettuns Village, and I'm not very satisfied with my purchase. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that a white/blue core meant that the dye was not given sufficient time to penetrate and is a sign of lower quality leather. Is this the case? I attached a photo showing the line, I'm pretty sure I'm going to return the side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted April 21, 2014 It's more apt to be the dye didn't penetrate fully. The tanning process is probably completed through pH testing and you wouldn't see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt T Report post Posted April 21, 2014 Well, I've seen this on some Horween leather, and some veg tan from a famous French tannery before, so I'm not sure. I've heard it was a sign of bad quality, but maybe for chrome, and not on veg tan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
