A note about the leather:
These coasters, especially in natural, will evolve and develop character and patina with use. Havana brown and Chestnut are cut from English bridle leather that has a slight natural water repellency, being hot-stufffed with waxes and oils. Natural, on the other hand, is left untreated and will take in moisture which accounts for a more rapid and notable transformation. Stains are normal and are meant to be part of the journey.

VEG TAN
Vegetable Tanned Leather (Veg Tan, Bark Tan) - Refers to leather that has been tanned using tannin and other ingredients found in tree bark and other vegetable matter. This method of tanning has been in existence for thousands of years. Left un-dyed (natural), this leather will age in color dramatically, specific to it's owner's use. This makes for a very personal product that will evolve along with you. Natural veg tan leather darkens with exposure to sun, natural oils (animal oils applied to condition, oil from your hands, etc), and water.
ENGLISH BRIDLE
English bridle leather is a vegetable tanned leather that has been drum dyed and hot stuffed with waxes and tallows. This creates a rugged yet beautiful leather with water resistant qualities. English bridle has a smooth and slightly waxy hand that breaks in beautifully and grows more supple with use. Truly a leather that only gets better with age.
