Lisbon Stitchdown - Black Rustic Horsebutt

THE LEATHER

This leather is produced through a specialized combination of adding quebracho and mimosa within the vegetable tanning process. During the coloring and re-tanning stages, it is infused with wax and oil. Subsequently, the leather is toggle dried, roll-waxed, and bright rolled to achieve a flawless luster.

Gallun horsebutt leather is naturally distressed, with unique grain patterns that vary from hide to hide. Each pair may show subtle scratches, blemishes, or slight variations in color — all of which are inherent characteristics of the material and part of its authentic finish.

A NOTE ON LEATHER

Each boot is crafted from authentic leather, which may exhibit minor scratches, blemishes, and non-uniform coloring. These are inherent traits of the natural material and its finishing.

CARE

This is a waxed and oiled pull-up horsebutt leather. The oils and waxes in the hide shift with wear, giving each pair a unique burnished finish over time.

• Cleaning: Brush off dirt with a horsehair brush. For heavier buildup, use a damp cloth. Air dry only — never use direct heat.
• Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner or neutral wax when the leather looks dry. The natural oils in pull-up leathers mean conditioning is needed less often than with drier leathers.
• Scratches: Light marks will often blend back in with a horsehair brush or gentle finger pressure — this is normal pull-up behavior.
• Storage: Use shoe trees between wears to retain shape.
