Tumbled Oil Wax Leather is a premium, full-grain leather renowned for its authentic, distressed, vintage appearance. This leather is created using a specialized milling process (or tumbling) which works the hide to give it a naturally soft and pliable texture and an irregular, handsome grain pattern. After tumbling, it is heavily treated with a blend of natural oils and waxes, which saturate the fibers to increase its durability and provide a rich, deep color.
The defining characteristic of this leather is the dramatic "pull-up" effect: when stretched, bent, or creased, the wax shifts, causing the color underneath to lighten instantly. This gives the leather a unique, multi-toned effect that creates immediate character. Over time, Tumbled Oil Wax Leather naturally develops an even richer patina and only gains more character, making every product crafted from it entirely one-of-a-kind.
This leather is ideal for bags, jackets, footwear, and rustic furniture upholstery because it is not only soft and flexible but also highly durable. If you want a leather that tells a story, embraces the vintage aesthetic, and gets better with age, Tumbled Oil Wax Leather is the perfect choice.
