I've heard the terminology, but never known what it means. Expand It's an oily leather that changes color when you bend or fold it. A lot of times a light scratch will disappear when rubbed briskly(heat and friction). Hard to glue easily because of the oils. Looks rustic usually. If you look up Maverick leather on Instagram they show the "pullup" of the leathers the are selling in 5 second videos. Edited January 28, 2018 by Mattsbagger Quote

If you look at the folds or stress points like where the pencils are, you get that lighter(brown) look vs the darker brown/Black color. It is tricky to glue unlike veg-tan especially gluing two oiled pieces together(they like to slide). Arcadia has a bunch and that’s where I got this from, I also have some from Springfield Leather.
