Barbour is a full aniline hand antiqued leather which provides any piece with a sophisticated antique look. Utilizing the most progressive methods available, Optima adheres to an entirely non-polluting system, where our tanneries follow the strictest guidelines to ensure minimal waste, high quality and a product that is environmentally sound. Barbour is a top grain naturally pebbled leather that has been hand stained by a combination of subtle oils and waxes, followed by a protective topcoat to give it excellent wear ability. It is then hot ironed to give it an added hand and a see through look reminiscent of the old English Bridle leathers. Once upholstered, the beauty and workmanship of this leather is amplified and brought to life, by giving any piece a natural transparent antique effect.

Colors Available: Oak , Whiskey , Chivas , Russet , Cinnamon , Sage , Bottle Green , Midnight , Dark Walnut , Hershey and Harness Brown.
