Once in a while I come across a leather that is truly special, and Russian Tan is certainly that. A truly artisan leather, produced by a very small tannery utilising deer skins and using a traditional vegetable tanning process. The hides come from controlled deer culls, and the tanneries receive the wet salted raw hides directly from the wildlife stewards who are responsible for maintaining the deer populations.
Once tanned, the leather is embossed with the famous Russian hatch pattern, which has become synonomous with the world’s best leathers. This is a soft & pliable leather that certainly lives up to that billing, in my opinion.
You can see all the options for thread colour on the stitching colours page, but Russian Tan is a classic leather and one that I believe should always be stitched with natural thread (as photographed). Trust me on this, and I am confident you’ll love it.
Straps produced with Russian Tan leather will be approx 3.5mm thick and are priced as
follows:
£130 with a free spring bar buckle
£135 with a sewn in buckle
£140 with a screw bar buckle
