## Description and construction

Fiebing’s Tan Kote is a long-time classic in leather finishing, valued especially for how well it preserves the leather’s natural feel and breathability. Unlike standard acrylic topcoats, this finish is based on natural resins giving it the kind of properties saddlers and leatherworkers have relied on for decades. It doesn’t seal the surface into an airtight shell; it lets the leather “breathe.”

Key features for makers:Resin-based formula: Offers a softer, more organic kind of protection than synthetic polymers. The surface stays breathable and keeps that genuine “leather” character.
  
Satin semi-gloss: Dries to a subtle, refined sheen that looks natural and won’t veer into the dreaded “plastic” look.

 Versatile in the workflow: Beyond final sealing, Tan Kote also works as an excellent barrier coat when using products like Antique Finish, letting you control how much pigment the leather absorbs.

  Supple and breathable: Leaves the surface smooth and velvety to the touch while staying flexible and breathable. Thanks to its composition, the leather can still be conditioned after drying-oils and conditioners can partially penetrate through the finish.

Recommended application: Apply evenly to dyed or natural leather using a wool dauber, a brush, or a spray gun. Tan Kote can also be used as a final coat over Antique Finish #21980-00 to even out the look and lock in pigment. For best results, apply in thin, continuous coats.

Because this finish remains breathable, keep in mind that Tan Kote is not fully waterproof. For items exposed to demanding outdoor conditions, we recommend following up with a suitable water-repellent treatment or wax.

Not suitable for suede or brushed leathers. After use, tools can be easily cleaned with water.
