    Duane, please correct me if I am wrong but I think the Burl Cocoa leather on my bar stools is a pull up leather.

    If so, the bar stool below has been used on a daily basis by a teenager for a little over 4 1/2 years at a breakfast bar. Any spilled food and drink was wiped up immediately (or within a few hours). To date, there have been any stains on the leather.

    I hope this additional data point helps answer the question, "how does pull up leather look over time?"

    Such a helpful post! I adore the way a pull up looks over time. Comfortable and inviting and lived in— just perfect for my antiques. I have a lingering attraction to Burnished leathers, however. I understand that Burnished leathers start out as pull ups, but in playing around with my samples, I notice the Burnished leathers don’t get “marked up” (in a good way) like regular pull-ups do. I guess that’s the protective coat they put on after they burnish the leather? In any case, I’m wondering if you have any images of OLDER Burnished leathers. Do they age the same way as pull ups—with pressure points and color bursts over time? Or, like Capri, do they not change with age?

    Burnished leathers are more apt to sun fade more than anything else. In daily use they are highly durable (but of course, not invincible)
