Description

Country of Origin: Italy

Weight: 5.0-5.5 oz

Tanning: Veg Tan

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

Finish: Smooth

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.

Another MPG Winner

I'm a big fan of MPG Apollo and repeat purchaser. I agree with the other reviews and only wanted to add that the color is indeed darker than the photo so take that into consideration. However, the dark color contrasted with the light-teal flesh side is a wonderful combination.

Great leather for wallets

This leather is absolutely gorgeous. The contrast between the blue grain and teal/aqua cut edges makes wallets made from this leather something truly special. Cuts, skives, and burnishes easily. Very scratch resistant compared to most leathers I've worked with.

One of the best

First off, this leather smells amazing!

Ok, that’s out of the way. I love the MPG Apollo line and Mediterranean Blue is my favorite color. This leather has an amazing feel and beautiful, consistent color. Ive used it for valet trays, notebooks, and I have a wallet on deck with this as the interior. It burnishes and slices very well. It is probably one of my favorite leathers at DLS.

I have purchased a single shoulder, double, and a panel.

Love it!

This is one of my favorite leathers from District Leather. It is slightly darker than in the pictures, more of a navy color, but is still amazing and beautiful. It goes well with the emerald green too.
