MPG Apollo, Burgundy

Tanning: Veg Tan

Temper, 1-10 Scale (1 = wet towel/ 10 = plywood): 7

Recommended Uses: At 5oz great for Bags, Single Layer Watch Straps, Lanyards, Key Fobs. Split to 2-3oz, fantastic for wallet exteriors, interiors, and lining for larger goods

Notes: 100% vegetable tanned, firm-tempered, and the colors are very rich. Strongly resembles Walpier's Buttero with regard to its sheen and the slightly marbled look of the color.  However, it's not as dry as Buttero, which affords it some advantages for certain leather goods like bags/cases.

It burnishes very well, it's easy to hand sew and machine sew, it behaves very well with Aquilim water-based adhesives, the colors are solid and consistent. 

GRADING:

- Grade A - Great quality, very little to no flaws beside what is mentioned above.

- Grade B - Not-so-perfect - will have more noticeable range marks or scratches, broken grain, or slight color variation over a small portion of the panel. 

Please note: There may be a slight variation in color between the product photo and what you receive due to differences across dye lots and the natural characteristics of leather.
