hello all! I'm purchasing the kodiak sofa very soon from duane. i already have two austin chairs in oxblood cavalier that I inherited…I love the capri butternut or the kipling whiskey…but worried about how careful I'll have to be with perhaps the capri……..can anyone give me some thoughts on this??
I love the color of the kipling whiskey…..but the texture of the capri butternut….
I actually have the Kodiak sofa in capri butternut - almost two years old now. The leather has gotten even softer after this time and it looks as new as the day it was delivered. I haven't had to give it any special care and it is not unusual to find a dog or two, or large adult male lounging on it at any given time. It is richer looking now than when delivered.
Thank you so much for your timely response! And also the comment about the doggie…we have a westie who doesn't realize he is a dog! Thank you! You have been very helpful!
My son snapped this shot of Gracie today, our 1-year-old Cairn Terrier, who decided to hop on the desk chair in the background, then to the counter, so she can hold court over the kitchen area from a proper counter height.

Duffy loves it too!!!
Recently found this great site. Thanks Duane!
Have been looking at Kipling whiskey vs Capri butternut for a Journey sectional but just learned Kipling has been discontinued.
Are there any similar grade 2 (or 3) hides that I should compare to Capri?
Thank you.
There is nothing that can compare with Capri at a GR 2 or GR 3 price point, sorry. If you are looking at only color, then a couple of the burnished leathers such as Imperial Whiskey and Buckingham Walnut Burnished will have the same hues but the feel and textures of the hides are totally different.
For softness in a GR 2, the Caress can come somewhat close to Capri but its a monochromatic finished (painted) leather.
