Antique Western Leather & Cowhide Recliner

Q: How will the leather change as the recliner ages?

The waxy pull-up aniline leather responds visibly to handling, pressure, and use. Its existing surface crackle will gain contrast as the wax shifts, producing layered highs, lows, and a deepening Mustang-brown patina rather than remaining factory-uniform.

Will this recliner have enough room to open fully without overwhelming my space?

The recliner measures 45 inches high, 38 inches wide, and 40 inches deep, with an 18-inch wall-clearance requirement and a 71-inch overall layout when extended. Its rolled-arm recliner construction creates a broad-shouldered presence with disciplined proportions, making careful floor planning worthwhile.

How will the leather change as the recliner ages?

The waxy pull-up aniline leather responds visibly to handling, pressure, and use. Its existing surface crackle will gain contrast as the wax shifts, producing layered highs, lows, and a deepening Mustang-brown patina rather than remaining factory-uniform.

Can the leather and cowhide combination be customized?

Yes. This Texas-made recliner is available by custom order with a large selection of different leathers and hides. Choosing custom leather-and-hide upholstery allows for a personal balance of color, grain, and organic pattern while retaining the chair's Western form.

Is this recliner suited to everyday relaxation or primarily a statement room?

It serves both purposes. The seat measures 23 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 20 inches high, while the non-tufted rolled-arm upholstery supports a generous, grounded sitting position for regular lounging. Its pronounced hide, croc pattern, and nailhead outline also give it enough presence for a formal great room or private study.

How should I care for the leather and preserve its natural character?

Keep general-purpose leather cleaners, household cleansers, and homemade treatments away from the unprotected aniline surface. Blot spills immediately with an absorbent, sterile, dry cloth rather than rubbing, and position the recliner away from direct sunlight to limit fading. This restrained care protects the soft-matte depth and natural color movement that distinguish the Mustang finish.

Materials

Mustang Waxy Pull Up Leather

Mustang is a full-bodied aniline leather with a naturally distressed look, wax-coated surface, and soft matte finish. Designed to showcase visible crackle and pull-up character, this desert-toned hide develops a patina that evolves with every crease, touch, and shift in light. The Mustang tone—a warm, sun-faded brown—adds raw beauty and Western charm to any furniture piece.

Perfect for ranch-inspired interiors, this leather elevates recliners, sofas, and accent panels with its authentic aging behavior and tactile richness. Mustang delivers both visual strength and artisan softness — ideal for custom upholstery rooted in natural elegance.

Leather Characteristics:

Effect: Waxy Pull-Up with Visible Crackle
Color: Mustang – a weathered, desert-inspired brown
Feel/Sheen: Soft Matte | Unprotected Finish
Aging: Patina deepens over time with handling and wear

Embossed Gator Leather in Warm Caramel Brown

This warm caramel-toned leather features a striking embossed alligator pattern, adding bold dimension and a touch of the exotic to any piece. The waxed finish breaks over time to reveal golden undertones, creating natural contrast and movement with use. Perfect for Western-inspired or rustic-luxe upholstery, it brings both texture and a rich patina to headboards, ottomans, or trim details.

Medium Brown Brindle Hair-on-Hide Accents

This Medium Brown Brindle Hair-on-Hide blends the rich warmth of pecan and chestnut tones with more prominent white flecking throughout, creating a slightly brighter, high-contrast version of traditional brindle. Each hide showcases unique striping and movement, offering organic texture that brings handcrafted charm to any piece.
