🐄 About the Leather
We use two kinds of 100% vegetable-tanned Argentinian leather—no harsh chemicals, just natural tannins from native trees.
Polo Leather (used in this edition):
-
3.2 mm thick (8 mm at reinforced edges)
-
Same leather used in polo saddles and boots
-
Extremely durable, improves with age, molds to the body over time
Vaqueta Leather (standard):
-
2 mm thick
-
Softer, more flexible, rounded edge stitching
🌱 Why Argentine Leather is the Best
-
Grass-Fed Cattle – Raised free-range in the Pampas, creating naturally strong, fibrous hides
-
Vegetable Tanning – Traditional process passed down through generations, using tannins from Argentine trees for a soft, sweet, woody scent
