The new 4Seasons range is aimed at a younger target group. The leather in the series is drum-dyed and has no pigment layer on the surface. After dyeing, the leather is washed and then milled. These processes do not change the natural texture of the hide material, which is still recognizable. As a rule, these leathers are very expensive. Only flawless hides are considered, as the surface structure of the leather remains completely visible. Natural characteristics such as growth marks, different structures, small scars and differences in color underline the naturalness of the leather and should not be regarded as defects. Hides with fork pricks, tick bites, thorn cracks or horn bumps, which are disturbingly prominent in the main areas of the hide, are out of the question. The special feature of open-pored leather is its feel: it is particularly soft, somewhat waxy and supple. The look is matt. Compared to pigmented leather, open-pored leather requires more care. A drop of water rubbed on the surface penetrates the leather and darkens the damp area, as the pores of the leather are not sealed. Open-pored leathers are therefore more susceptible to soiling, as well as to equalization by sunlight, and should therefore be treated regularly with a good waterproofing spray.
