Veg tanned leather is part of Italian culture and DNA. In fact, vegetable tanning was invented by Etruscan in 800 A.C. Today, it is one of the jewels of Italian industry; in particular, vegetable tanned leather has its roots in Tuscany and it is there where today veg tanned leather is produced in the most noble and qualitatively better shape following tradition and experience that this land has accumulated over the years. Vegetable tanning skin process is in fact much more difficult than we might think: it requires lot of experience, it is needed to know in detail all various types of raw hides and all chemical processes involved. Tanning is similar to cooking good food: you have to choose the right recipe. Coming from best raw choices of national slaughterhouse, our butts are derived from bull hides which are of the highest quality; they shows little or no sign or defect and thicknesses is generous as well as size of the skin that allow you to realize several belts thanks to its square shape and its length that can be up to meter and a half. Another widespread use of double butts is for saddlery because they are very suitable for bridles and harnesses for horses in addition to riding and motorcycle saddles . Finally, double butts are also very appropriate for tooling and engravings. |

Nice leather.
Michael S. published the 21/02/2024 following an order made on 17/01/2024
I have purchased a variety of leather from this company. This particular order had a *very strong* smell of solvent. It purports to be struck through, but comparing the exact some color of shoulder, it is obvious that it is poorly done, if at all. The finish is obviously sprayed on, obliterating the appearance of grain. This particular butt is poor at best, and should not be sold as a 1st. I'm quite disappointed in this butt. I wont be buying another, and I'm quite unnerved about buying anything from them again. The quality control on this was not in use.

Hello Michael
Thank you for your order and feedback. We are sorry you did not liked the leather, as explained by email this leather is made by us in Tuscany,
it is a FULL grain aniline pressed Sego (tallow) vacchetta leather, it is probably the best quality existing in the world, so it is strange what you describe.
We personally checked and instructed chose the raw hides to select the most perfect to make this item that is extremely expensive to produce and it is made in collaboration with the best and most professional finishing Tuscan companies. No pigments, prints, micro grains, or buffing have been made on this item, it is so beautiful that seems too perfect, but we can ensure that it is completely natural. Please provide us some pictures or more information to info@buyleatheronline.com about the issue you encountered as we are always open to find a solution to make customer's experience as best as possible. Thank you
