Clubman is a beautiful half-grain leather with a soft, waxy feel and a gently distressed look full of character. A resilient finish protects against marks and scuffs, making it as practical as it is handsome. It’s a more polished, uniform alternative to our vintage leathers—ideal for those who love the lived-in look, but with fewer natural markings.

Burlington is a deluxe, half-grain pigmented leather with a smooth, supple finish and a naturally refined air. Gently buffed for a more even appearance, it retains its rich, organic character beneath a cleaner, more composed surface. Perfect for those seeking something a little more refined and less rugged than our vintage and rustic leather ranges, it’s hardwearing, handsome, and quietly sophisticated—with select shades offering a subtle two-tone depth.
