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.
