Corter Leather Belt After 4 Years

Last week we posted the remarkable coloring results our customer, Joseph, had with his Tanner Goods wallet, and today we're showing off the equally impressive results from his Corter Leather Belt. The belt is Corter's natural vegetable tanned belt, made of 100% cowhide leather. Outside of two applications of Neatsfoot Oil, the coloring is entirely the result of daily wear and age.

After:

Corter Leather uses 100% cowhide leather made in the USA. The belts come in three different color options. $55. For more information on the Corter Leather belt in natural, like the one used in this post, click here.

Tanner Goods Wallet After 3 Years

One of the coolest things about the Tanner Goods 3.5oz vegetable tanned leather wallets we've been carrying here at BlueOwl is that over time, the leather ages and takes on a whole new color than before, much like how denim fades with use.

When we received these photos from our customer, Joseph, who's had his wallet for a little over 3 years now, we were stunned. Not only had the wallet aged to a beautiful deep brown outside with a golden tan inset, but the wallet was still in seemingly perfect condition, a testament to the famous quality of Tanner Goods. Outside of one application of Neatsfoot Oil, the coloring is due entirely to natural usage and wear. Check out the photos and see for yourself.
