What is Pull-Up Leather?
Pull-up leather is aniline dyed in the drum to create deep, vibrant colors. It is finished with a combination of transparent waxes and oils, which gives the leather a very soft hand, or feel. When this leather is stretched or pulled, the color migrates and becomes lighter in the pulled areas. Hence, the name “pull-up” refers to this change in color. Drastic variations in light and dark areas increase as the leather is handled and stretched against the grain. The “pull-up” becomes more evident as the leather is stretched tightly around furniture frames and other materials. As a pure aniline leather, marks, scratches, and signs of wear will show and a rich patina, or shine, will increase over time.
color slightly due to to its oils and waxes being mobilised when it is pulled up, flexed or scratched. (It’s also referred to as “pull up effect leather”, “oil wax leather” or “oil pull up leather”). Whatever name you use, pull up leather gives you one of the most character-packed types of leather watchstrap available. There aren’t many kinds of leather that beat a nice “pull up”. That’s especially so when you can buy stunning quality, to complement watches
Because of its high oil and fat content, pull up leather is often described as having a ‘dark, almost “greasy” look and feel’, Despite how it sounds, this is attractive and rugged. It’s a worldly, outdoor look that perfectly complements tool watches. The leather watch straps made from this material have the style and elegance to complement the most refined dress watches. Just as your watch picks up scuffs and scratches through use, your oil pull leather watch strap will do the same.
The leather materials are mainly from USA and Italy. Leather dyes, surface treatment, and threads are from Italy and France. Hardwares are from Korea and Hongkong. The leather band is handmade in Vietnam.
Since every pair of watchbands is uniquely selected, cut and dyed, the color and stitches might look slightly different from the photos. As it is a natural material, you might find scratches and patterns on the surface. It is normal and natural that every piece of leather has its own texture!
