    Default Leather Questions-Equestrian and Hyde Park Patina

    I saw some samples for Hyde Park Burnished hides but did not see any for the Hyde Park Patina, a variation that is listed on the Hancock and Moore Website. I came across an older post saying the patina version added extra dark burnishing at the edges but I would like more info on this and how it affects the end result. Of course it would be impossible to see these effects from a small sample anyway. Photos would be great if anyone has some for comparison.

    I also came across posts on Grade 3 Equestrian being discontinued, but I saw Equestrian Merlot samples at the store and also still listed on the website. Can anyone confirm whether it is still available (in Merlot)? It might be a good color for us, and for an unprotected leather it is at a better price point that Capri Bordeaux (yes, I know that's to die for but also much more). It seems a little shiny though--is this the case in the finished products? Also, would this translate to slippery, or is that mainly a side effect of the treated/finished hides? I don't want to slide off the seat!

    Thanks.

    Equestrian leather has been dropped by the tannery that produces it. There may be some leftover hides (would have to call and check on inventory) however none can be ordered. Equestrian and Capri are worlds apart in look, feel and tailoring.

    All Burnished leathers are done by adding a toning glaze to a sanded-down pull-up hide. The "Patina" variant is simply one with more glaze applied to the leather, so edges and catch points will be darker and more dramatic.
