Members Tzazilas Posted January 8, 2020 Members Report Posted January 8, 2020 Hi and happy new year! I came across this leather shown in the picture. Any idea about what leather is it or the technique to achieve this two-tone look (tan + yellow)? Is it a tan leather painted with yellow (acrylic?) dye or some yellow leather dyed brown? Or some pull-up leather? Or a natural veg. tanned leather dyed with tan and yellow dyes at different areas? Any help with this mystery leather would be very appreciated! Quote

HS I tend to overthink sometimes and miss the simplest of things. I guess patina is the answer. The product shown was advertised as new, so most likely its patina process was speeded up. Perhaps some neatsfoot oil etc with sunlight for some days. Quote
Members Tugadude Posted January 9, 2020 Members Report Posted January 9, 2020 Whatever it is, I find it attractive. I love the way patina affects most leathers. It seems a lot of folks are adding patina to "new" products so there must be a desire in the market for items that appear "broken-in". Quote
