Distressed

Garrett's Italian Distressed cowhides have been tumbled with aniline dyes and paraffin waxes, which penetrate the fibers of the leather to produce unique variations in color and texture. Natural markings give Garrett's Distressed leather a comfortable, well-worn character. Additional marks and scratches will appear with use and a beautiful patina will develop over time. Distressed is GREENGUARD Certified.
