What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Leather — Quality leather develops character and a patina with age — it gets better, not worse. Can last decades with basic maintenance.
- ·Vegetable-tanned — Tanned using natural bark and plant extracts rather than chromium chemicals. Stiff at first but molds to your body over time. Ages beautifully with a patina unique to you.
- ·Made by Il Bisonte in Italy.
Longevity & Care
- ·Leather — Condition every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure. Store in a breathable bag, never plastic.
- ⚠ Avoid "bonded leather" or "genuine leather" — these are the lowest grades. Bonded leather is essentially glued scraps that peel and flake within 1-2 years. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for real longevity.
