Newbury Leathers, South Street, Side, Toasted Wheat

Newbury Leathers, South Street, USA Hides, USA Tanned, Leather Sides

Our Newbury 'South Street' is an exclusive leather developed specifically for Buckleguy. It is a hot stuffed pull up leather with a smooth grain, and perhaps the most popular in the Newbury line of tannages. A key characteristic of this leather is that it has minimal bounce back, AKA 'form-fitting', meaning that when you scrunch or bend the leather it holds, making it ideal for accessory making, bags, boots, gloves, and more. Buckleguy altered the original tannage by adding a propriety wax/oil combination. This special formula adds a luxurious texture to the flesh side and surface and provides a natural oil to the leather protecting it from drying out.
