In our On Demand program, Cordobes offers three types of leather.

The brown pull-up leather is a 7-ounce leather, chrome tanned in a pull-up finish, this leather is treated with oils and waxes during the tanning process which gives the leather a pull-up effect, this means that when you pull on the boots the leather changes colors as the oils in the leather distributes.

This leather also has the ability to self-healing, in places where there are superficial scuffs, with some oil and a cotton wipe you should be able to buff your boots and heal some of those scuffs,     

The second option is a 7-ounce chocolate pull-up leather, this leather comes in a nubuck finish, for a more rugged look, but it maintains the character of a pull-up so that when you pull on the leather or crease it the oils shift and the color changes as well. These pull up is easy to treat and buff easily.

The third type of leather is a 7-ounce top grain black leather, as black is the most elegant color we decided to make it as classic as we could, this leather is top grain as it becomes easy to maintain and doesn’t grab too much attention to it, it’s easy to maintain and easy to shine as well.
