## Description and construction

Cowhide split leather (Double Butts – Split leather), 2.8–3.2 mm thick, vegetable-tanned, with a pigmented surface finish. The smooth, semi-gloss, colour-matched surface is ready to work with straight away – no dyeing or varnishing needed.

Split leather is the lower layer of the hide, without a natural grain; its appearance comes from a pigmented colour and protective coating. This evens out the shade, makes cleaning easier and limits how far dirt and short-term moisture reach the surface. At a lower price than full-grain leather.

Suitable uses

affordable collars, belts and wider straps,
bags, handbags and cases,
decorative and secondary leather goods parts,
prototypes and test pieces.

What to expect from the surface
A pigmented surface does not develop a patina the way full-grain leather does. Where it is bent or rubbed often, and along the edges, it may in time go matt, scuff, crack or partly flake off – most noticeably on narrow straps, handles and around buckles. On parts like these it pays to line, reinforce and finish the edges carefully. How long the finished item lasts also depends on its construction, width, method of joining and how intensively it is used.

Care
Clean with a soft damp cloth (Leather Soap Universal #MNK/40g). Don't leave the material soaked, and don't use solvents or stiff brushes. Products made to nourish full-grain leather may not penetrate a pigmented coating – test them on a hidden spot first.

Leather is a natural material – hides vary in thickness, firmness, stretch and shade, and may show small irregularities, scratches or marks from processing.

How the order works:

Please note that there might be a slight delay between completing your order and receiving the payment instructions. Thank you for your understanding.

Notice:
Leather is a purely natural material that may have various properties, such as strength or elasticity. Its surface may show visible or hidden imperfections, such as scars, scratches, or brands. These characteristics are a natural part of the material.


## Limits and maintenance

* Handles typical outdoor conditions without issue — rain, mud, moisture, sweat. No need to dry or treat specially after every water contact.
* The finish does not increase corrosion resistance. Either the underlying material does not need it, or the finish is purely aesthetic.
* Thin decorative coating that gradually wears through with regular wear and friction. Wear shows fairly quickly at points where buckle or snap contacts the strap, ring or fur.
* Over time loses its original gloss and the tone changes slightly. This does not affect function, but the surface eventually does not look as fresh as at the start.
