Members SonnyMarrow Posted April 21, 2014 Members Report 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
Tree Reaper Posted April 21, 2014 Report 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
Matt T Posted April 21, 2014 Report 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
