Devon cowhides are tanned just using oak bark from the Lake District and water from the River Coly the flows by the tannery and drives their water wheel. The hides are suspended in an oak bark liquor and the water wheel agitates the liquor ensuring full absorption of the tannins. It's the tannins that do the essential work transforming skin into leather. The hides are processed completely by hand which takes almost 18 months. Bakers tannery in Colyton is the only oak bark tannery in Europe. Each of our oak bark tanned hides is unique and bursting with character. No two are the same. The rich brown dye has great depth - it is applied by hand and varies across the hide giving an interesting depth to the colour. The leather is full grain - the blemishes and scarring naturally found on the cows skin are not removed.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Tanner Bates are hand makers using leather that is produced using traditional techniques with as few processes as possible between the raw skin and the finished leather.

The hides are suspended in an oak bark liquor and the water wheel agitates the liquor ensuring full absorption of the tannins. Its the tannins that do the essential work transforming skin into leather. The hides are processed completely by hand which takes almost 18 months. Bakers tannery in Colyton is the only oak bark tannery in Europe. Each of our oak bark tanned hides is unique and bursting with character. No two are the same. The rich brown dye has great depth - it is applied by hand and varies across the hide giving an interesting depth to the colour.

It is the process of the leather getting wet and drying that will dehydrate it the most. Occasionally feeding the leather will help to replace any natural fats and oils lost and help to keep the leather hydrated. Please note that the application of any leather conditioner will likely deepen and\/or darken the colour of the leather. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eGilboy’s Leather Conditioner Balsam will help to keep your leather hydrated and supple, build the patina and increase longevity.

A cut edge exposes the raw leather, while a turned edge folds the leather inward, with the stitching holding the turn in place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCut-edge wallets, where the raw edge of the leather is exposed, are sometimes coated with a resin for a more ‘finished’ look. However these edge paints are never as durable as a burnished edge. Some critics argue that cut edges affect longevity, but many durable leather products using the cut edge method have proven this theory wrong. At Tanner Bates, we burnish our cut edges as this is the most durable and in our opinion, the most aesthetically pleasing method of finishing a cut edge. This method is only possible when using the finest quality vegetable tanned leather.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast, turned edge wallets have a folded leather edge, creating a different aesthetic. However, turned-edge wallets are time-consuming to construct and hence, more expensive if hand made. This process is better suited to a more automated\/factory production, is less durable and tends to be more applicable to a product made from chrome tanned leather as chrome tanned leather cannot be burnished in the way that vegetable tanned leather can.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twelve columns offset-by-two center alpha\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twelve columns offset-by-two center alpha\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twelve columns offset-by-two center alpha\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twelve columns offset-by-two center alpha\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"twelve columns offset-by-two center alpha\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Role of Stitching in Wallet Durability\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twelve columns offset-by-two center alpha\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe quality of stitching plays a significant role in determining the durability of a wallet.
