When leather meets Rock ‘n’ Roll, you get Wild Thing — a bold, aniline-dyed horsehide with raw grain, a matte gloss finish, and serious character.
Tanned using an exclusive olive leaf extract from one of Germany’s premier tanneries, this full aniline-dyed leather shows off its untamed grain and a unique “matte gloss” finish, created through careful sanding and oiling.
Whether you're crafting wallets, jackets, saddles, or upholstery, Wild Thing is made for pieces that get better with age—it's soft, breathable, and rich with patina. This is leather for the purists—raw, refined, and ready to rock.
