This veg tan leather is a spin on traditional english bridle done with a softer Italian vachetta base. With Belfagor you get that super smooth semi aniline finish combined with the striped wax bloom hallmark look. Its something more workable than english bridle and great for small and large leather goods. The wax finish wear away with use and reappear over time as weather changes colder.
The hides are their top grade and is full grain. Vacchetta leather is infused with a special blend of Italian fat wax giving it the famous hand and feel attributed with the vacchetta name.
