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 Mora of Sweden in Sweden.

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.

·Vegetable-tanned — Keep dry initially while the leather breaks in. Condition with natural oils. Develops a unique patina with sun and use.

Sustainability

·Vegetable-tanned — Uses natural tannins instead of chromium chemicals, making it significantly more environmentally responsible. Chrome tanning produces toxic waste; vegetable tanning does not.

Cost Per Use

·Leather — A well-made leather bag or boot can last 10-20 years, making the cost per year very low compared to replacing synthetic alternatives every 1-2 years.
·Vegetable-tanned — More expensive than chrome-tanned leather but ages dramatically better. The break-in period is worth it.
·Priced around $30 (midpoint of under $50 for Exclude). At ~15 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 2 months — and falls to roughly 3¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
