Burro, a "ghost" style leather from Conceria Walpier in Italy, is simply mind blowing stuff. Those who love the patina / visible journey / patina aspect of vegetable tanned leathers can expect to have a special appreciation for this leather especially after holding and using it.
Some leathers naturally exhibit a beautiful bloom after a certain period of inactivity, which is usually easy to wipe or wear away. Burro, however, is coated in a thin but dense layer of wax/tallow that can take several days, weeks, or months to fade depending on how it is being used.

Imported from Britain, the J & FJ Baker is waxy, bloomy, and amazing. The process to tan this leather takes 12 months. Some consider Baker's to be the best harness and English Bridle leather in the world. Once you see it and get your hands on it, that stance is hard to argue. Limited quantity.

SHELL CORDOVAN 44
Genuine Shell Cordovan is the art of tanning at its finest. More than just a color, it is a very specific leather, from a particular part of a horsehide. Each shell is slowly steeped in gentle vegetable liquors. The shells are genuine hot stuffed then slicked onto glass frames to dry. Each shell is hand curried and shaved by highly skilled artisans to expose the shell. Dyes are hand rubbed on for a deep aniline finish. Finally, the shells are hand glazed to achieve the rich, glossy look and feel prized by fine craftsmen. This process takes over 6 months.
