Greased Leather Band - 20mm

20mm wide and 4mm thick Greased leather (fat leather) is a type of leather in which the leather is treated with natural oil or wax and has thereby a particular greasy and waxy surface. The colour of the leather is not applied with a coating but deeply impregnated, in a way that the structure of the leather is clearly visible. Greased leather becomes generally more beautiful through use. Greased leather bands need low maintenance. Scratches can be removed by hand. The warmth of the hand makes natural oil reappear, eliminating the scratch.

In use, a so-called patina, a dark colour, quickly develops especially with leather that comes into contact with skin fat. This is part of the product and this is what makes it unique. This greased leather is also referred to as pull-up leather, after the lighter colour that is created when this leather is stretched. This gives a nice, lively finish because the leather is not stretched the same way everywhere.

Greased leather is still a very popular material among the makers of dog belts and collars. It is wonderfully soft on the hands and it does not cause blisters, even when the dog pulls hard on the leash. Fat leather is known for its weather resistance and has for years been the highest quality leather for the production of exclusive dog lines. A belt made of fat leather will keep looking great with the proper care for years.
