Materials
Burnt Orange Two-Tone Full-Grain Aniline Leather
This is the highest grade of leather made: full-grain, the top layer of the hide left uncorrected, with nothing sanded or buffed away. Only the finest hides can be used this way — lesser hides have to be sanded and coated to hide their flaws. Here, the natural grain, markings, and character remain fully intact.
The burnt orange color is set with pure aniline dye, which soaks into the leather rather than sitting on top as surface paint — the most demanding way to finish a hide, and the reason the grain stays visible and dimensional. A deeper finish layer settles into the grain for a soft two-tone depth, sealed with a light silky topcoat that adds a gentle gloss and everyday protection.
Leather like this doesn’t wear out — it wears in, deepening in character and patina over a lifetime of use. It’s the standard we hold for our finest custom pieces.
Leather Characteristics:
- Grain Type: Full-Grain Aniline — the highest leather grade
- Visual Effect: Shadowed Two-Tone Depth, Natural Grain Visible
- Color: Burnt Orange with Earthy Undertones
- Feel: Smooth, Lightly Sealed, Supple
- Sheen Level: Soft Medium Gloss
Jumbo Crocodile Embossed Accent Leather — Walnut
Leather embossed with an oversized, jumbo crocodile pattern in a warm Walnut brown — deep espresso settling into the recesses, warmer caramel across the raised tiles. The large scale gives the surface strong dimension and depth, well suited as an accent on custom Western pieces such as dining chairs, executive seating, and panel or border detailing.

ANILINE AND PULL-UP LEATHER:
Dust with a soft, dry cloth and vacuum seams and crevices on a low setting. This leather has little or no protective finish, so it absorbs liquid and oil readily, and even clean water can leave a mark. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth, pressing rather than rubbing, and let the area dry naturally away from heat. Do not wipe it with a damp cloth, and avoid household cleaners, solvents, soaps, and oils. Keep it out of direct sunlight, which fades unprotected leather. Light scratches and changes in tone are part of how this leather ages, and often blend in with use or buff out under a fingertip. Do not condition pull-up or distressed leather routinely, as it darkens the surface; pure aniline without a pull-up finish benefits from conditioning every three to six months, or more often in a hot, dry room. Contact us before choosing a conditioner or cleaner for your piece.
TOOLED OR EMBOSSED LEATHER:
Wipe with a damp cloth and dust the pattern or recesses with a soft, dry brush. Do not let liquid product pool in the relief, as it can dry lighter or darker than the surrounding leather. Contact us before treating or conditioning tooled or embossed leather.
