Crazy Horse Leather is not Horse Leather?!

Can you guess what crazy horse leather is made with? If you think it’s made from horse leather, you’re mistaken! Despite its name, crazy horse leather is not made from horses, but rather from high-quality cow leather. This type of leather has been growing in popularity over the years due to its unique appearance and durability.

Crazy horse leather exudes a raw and untamed beauty, with its unique wax coating and natural markings that tell the story of the leather’s journey.

What makes crazy horse leather so special is the wax coating that is applied to the surface of the leather. The wax coating gives the leather a distressed and rugged look that ages beautifully over time. As the leather is used and exposed to the elements, the wax coating will start to wear off, creating a unique and personalized look that is truly one-of-a-kind. Additionally, the wax coating provides a level of protection to the leather from scratches and scuffs.

One of the benefits of crazy horse leather is that it requires minimal care. Due to the wax coating, it is naturally water-resistant and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. However, it’s important to avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents when cleaning the leather, as this can damage the wax coating and affect the appearance of the leather. Instead, use a soft cloth or brush to gently clean the leather.

If you want to maintain the appearance of your crazy horse leather goods, it’s recommended to apply a leather conditioner or wax to the surface of the leather from time to time. This will help to replenish the wax coating and keep the leather looking its best.
