LEATHER
INFORMATION
About
our Leathers
We select only the highest quality top grain hides
available, and use an aniline finish to enhance the natural characteristics
in the hide. Aniline finishing allows you to see and feel the essential
qualities of genuine leather, which cannot be duplicated synthetically.
Many products claiming to be genuine leather are actually highly chemically
corrected; painted leathers which create an artificially 'perfect' finish.
This finish is merely a top layer and will eventually wear away. John
Cole Collections leathers are drum
dyed, ensuring that the color is deeply saturated throughout the hide,
and will not rub off or fade.
Unlike lower quality leather goods, John
Cole Collections products become
more soft and supple over time and will develop a rich patina, giving
them true character. Because of this natural process of the leather
we do not recommend the use of any cleaners or lotions.
Care
and Cleaning
The best way to clean our leather products is
by lightly rubbing the leather with a damp rag. Please do not use
any detergents, oils or leather lotions, which may result in staining.

Our Pullman is a superior full grain leather that has been drum
dyed and then hand polished to a smooth finish. Pullman leather products
start out with a matte finish, so that any scratches on Pullman can
easily be buffed back into the leather with a damp rag. Within a few
months Pullman leather will darken slightly and begin to develop a rich
patina. Pullman is available in Black, British Tan and Espresso. Selected
