Features of the saddlery leather Niagara half-back chocolate :
Niagara saddlery leather is 100% natural, full grain unpressed, uncorrected, smooth grain and chair. This leather is vegetable tanning non-allergenic leather. Vegetable tannins make the leather firm and resistant. It is nourished in a tallow bath (a mixture of paraffin and beef fat), more commonly known as " tallow leather". This nourishment makes the leather easier to cut and work, and gives it greater resistance to water. Tallow also ensures maintenance-free leather, as the fat is constantly added to the surface of the leather, giving it the nourishment it needs and an excellent patina. Thanks to this nourishment,Niagara saddlery leather leather is highly resistant to outdoor use, rejecting any external disturbance (water/saline environment). This saddlery leather is therefore suitable for intensive wear.

Care instructions for saddlery leather Niagara half-back chocolate :
Thanks to tallow bath feeding, the fat is impregnated throughout the entire thickness of theNiagara saddlery leather , so there's no need to feed over time. Food can be applied to the flower to ensure its greasy appearance or to accelerate the leather's patina. This care of the grain ensures a longer life. OurNiagara saddlery leather will resist humidity. Simply leave to dry at room temperature to regain its appearance. Because it is fed in a tallow bath (grease), temperature shocks can cause a whitish film of paraffin to form. Simply rub it off.
