As this strap is made of full-grain leather, unpressed and uncorrected, slight signs of the animal's life may be apparent and are not considered defects. They contribute to the authentic appearance of the leather.

Niagara leather is nourished by immersion in a vat of tallow (a mixture of paraffin and beef fat), and is called "greased leather". This tallow bath gives the leather better water resistance, nourishes it over a long period, and facilitates cutting and working the leather. Greased leather is recommended for outdoor use.

The tallow allows for maintenance-free leather as the grease is constantly released onto the leather's surface, providing necessary nourishment and an excellent patina. Thanks to this nourishment, Niagara saddlery leather has advanced resistance for outdoor use, repelling any external disturbances (water / saline environment). This saddlery leather is therefore suitable for intensive wear such as in the equestrian sector. The aniline finish allows the dyed leather to retain its natural appearance.

Uses of the dyed Niagara collar leather strap:
The dyed Niagara collar leather strap can be used for all leather goods, small leather goods, and cutlery items: belts, bag handles, bracelets, watch straps, dog and cat collars, etc. It is the most suitable leather for making belts due to its natural finish, its resistance to elongation, and its nourishment which guarantees a long lifespan.
For a perfect finish of the edges of the Niagara collar leather, we advise you to apply an edge finish.
Tooling on our Niagara leather is not recommended, as with its nourishment from the grease bath, the leather will return to its natural thickness and embossed patterns will fade over time.

Maintenance tips for dyed Niagara collar leather straps:
For the maintenance of Niagara saddlery leather: thanks to the tallow bath nourishment, the grease is impregnated throughout the entire thickness of the Niagara saddlery leather, so no additional nourishment is needed over time. Nourishment can be applied to the grain to maintain its greasy appearance or to accelerate the leather's patina. This care of the grain ensures a longer lifespan. Our Niagara saddlery leather will resist humidity. Simply let it dry at room temperature to regain its appearance. Due to its tallow bath nourishment (grease), a whitish film of rising paraffin may form during temperature changes. Simply rub it to make it disappear.
