I still confuse about this leather, does crazy horse leather and other fullgrain leather like vegtan is the same leather but difference in making process? Or crazy horse leather is more durable to some extent
Crazy horse leather is a leather traditionally used to make horse saddles. What sets is apart is the process used to make it and the final finish. Crazy horse leather has a dull/matte look to it. Hope that helps and if you have anymore questions feel free to reply to this response.
I’ve never seen anyone brag/proud about their crazy horse leather patina. I only see Veg tan leather/Horween patina. Trying to google it but can’t find any evidence of the actual Patina. Like every website will try and shot how 6 months look like, 2 years etc but never once any Crazy Horse selling website shows any evidence. I’m looking at some of amazon option because apparently it is common now for a veg tan leather wallet to cost $70-$150 and I’m not about to spend that much on a wallet. I see this crazy horse leather being advertised durable (yes I can confirm) but patina, 7 months now and my Bourbon Brown or whatever they called haven’t seen any changes yet. My veg tan see different color in like a week. Do these even patina right? Need helps.
Just like vegetable-tanned leather, it does indeed develop a patina over time, although the journey there is somewhat slower. I've had a similar experience with a knife sheath I crafted from red crazy horse leather; over time, it has darkened and gained a distinctive sheen. This transformation is largely due to the blend of natural oils from our skin, exposure to sunlight, and the wear and tear of daily use. When working with crazy horse leather, I've noticed it requires a bit more effort during the burnishing process for the edges to fully absorb the burnishing agent. This is because crazy horse leather is more resistant to absorbing oils and waxes, which contributes to its slower patina development. However, this characteristic doesn't detract from its beauty or durability-it just means we get to witness its gradual and unique aging process, adding character and story to the piece.
