It changes in appearance as it reacts to your touch, how you use it and how you handle it, though it only gets better with age. It will take on any scratches it comes up against.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe leather is initially vegetable tanned in Germany, where the raw animal hide is put through a liming process to remove the hair. The hide then goes into tanning drums with vegetable extracts and oils that turn the animal hides into what we know as leather. The undyed leather hides are then sent to J E Sedgwick’s curriers in Walsall, UK. Using a variety of hand techniques, the undyed leather is processed into English Bridle Leather with its distinctive characteristics. This includes removing growth marks, applying colour and also the grease\/wax dressing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grease which is applied to each side is called dubbin, a mix of animal fats and fish oils. This penetrates into the grain to help the fibres move, and makes the leather water resistant. Every so often the white wax rises to the surface. If this happens, rub the leather with a soft cloth as this will feed the leather and polish the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackhorse Lane Staging","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":44151761142055,"sku":"BELT-HP-BRW-S","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":44151761174823,"sku":"BELT-HP-BRW-M","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":44151761207591,"sku":"BELT-HP-BRW-L","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Extra Large","offer_id":44151761240359,"sku":"BELT-HP-BRW-XL","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/4793\/1440\/products\/BROWN-LEATHER-BELT-BLACKHORSE-LANE-ATELIERS-4.jpg?v=1671828675","url":"https:\/\/blackhorselane.mom\/products\/brown-bla-x-hardy-parsons-leather-belt","provider":"Blackhorse Lane Ateliers ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
