<p>MATERIALS</p>
<p>LEATHER: Leather comes mostly from cowhides and recycled leather clothing. Each leather skin has a history behind it of an animal that was once living. Therefore, no leather will look exactly the same, and blemishes, scars, and marks will only add to the uniqueness of your item. Using recycled leather is beneficial because there is minimal environmental impact involved. In addition, recycled leather has personality and a wonderful, worn-in quality to it that's difficult to achieve in newly manufactured leather.
<br />Studs are either brass or steel. Most finishes will oxidize and take on a more burnished look over time.</p>
<p>CARE</p>
<p>LEATHER: Professional leather cleaner only. Or don't clean it at all, it will look better with wear and tear.</p>
<p>PRICES</p>
<p>8.75% tax is added for CA orders. Some items are available for wholesale ordering. Please contact claflinthayerco@gmail.com for wholesale inquires.</p>
