pights Report post Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Hi everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post I want to make a satchel and like the look of the leather in this pic https://www.scaramangashop.co.uk/images/products/verylarge/scaramanga_boysandgirlslargevintageleathersatchel16inch_1464943461LargeVintageLeatherSatchel16InchSATC120374.jpg?1464947063 Is this what you call antiquing? or is it a specific type of leather? Thanks so much, cheers, pights. Edited November 17, 2018 by pights Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PutnamLeather Report post Posted November 17, 2018 It's an oil tan skin. We get ours through Acadia leather. It just comes that way. Possibly old town sage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to tell in the picture, but they have that same dusty sort of finish as the piece in your picture.

Rockoboy Report post Posted November 23, 2018 If you are anywhere near Botany, go into Birdsall Leather. They will have everything you need, including a complete knowledge of how to do things. I think the leather in your pic, looks like pull-up leather that is designed to be scraped up and then the scrape marks fade. Its almost like a distressed look.
