Americano Dark Timber Leather 5-6oz.

Americano Leather Dark Timber 5–6 oz.

Chrome Tanned.

Rich character. Easy maintenance. Everyday reliability.
Americano Leather in "Dark Timber" delivers a rugged yet refined look with a naturally textured finish, subtle pull-up character, and a soft waxed feel that’s perfect for daily-use leather goods. Crafted through a specialized chrome tanning process, this 5–6 oz leather features a medium temper and a surface that ages gracefully while remaining forgiving to wear and tear.

Distinctive Pull-Up with Waxed Finish:

Americano’s defining characteristic is its buffed pull-up grain, which reveals lighter undertones when the leather is bent or stretched, giving each piece a unique, lived-in look. A fine wax application on top provides a semi-gloss protective layer that adds depth to the color and allows light scratches to be buffed out by hand, making it ideal for items that will be handled frequently or exposed to the elements.

Key Features:

• Weight: 5–6 oz (approx. 2.0–2.4 mm) – Suitable for wallets, bags, straps, and medium-duty goods.
• Color: Dark Timber – A deep, rich brown with natural highlights and tonal movement.
• Tanning Method: Chrome Tanned – Soft, supple, and durable right out of the box with no break-in required.
• Grain: Buffed Full Grain Print – Lightly textured and natural-looking for a handcrafted aesthetic.
• Finish: Waxed Top – Scratch-resistant and easily restored with friction or heat.
• Temper: Medium – Holds its shape without being overly stiff, ideal for structured or semi-structured items.

Advantages for Leathercrafters:

• Easy to Cut and Stitch – Consistent thickness and moderate resistance make hand or machine stitching a breeze.
• Low Maintenance – Scuffs can be rubbed out quickly due to the waxed surface, extending the leather’s visual appeal.
• No Need to Line – The back side is clean and smooth enough for projects where lining isn’t required.
• Ready to Use – No burnishing or sealing necessary; the waxed topcoat provides a clean edge and finish.
