OTW 2012 PREMIUM MATERIALS Full-Grain Leather This premium leather has not been sanded, buffed, or processed in any way. It is the most natural looking and the highest grade of leather with the fewest imperfections. Full-grain leather also develops a patina, weathered luster, over time that is desired by many leather enthusiasts. It is a highly durable and breathable material for shoes. Veggie Tan Leather Full-grain leather organically tanned using Tannin, a natural compound that grows on trees and plants to protect against fire, insects, and bacteria. Veggie tanned leather has greater body and firmness, which adds to it’s durability. Nubuck A velvet like top grain leather that has been brushed/sanded to give it a soft feel. Suede A type of leather that has been buffed and brushed to give it a raised finish with a distinctive fuzzy look and feel. The type of leather chosen and the treatment used makes suede much softer than full-grain leather. Pigskin A softer and thinner alternative to cowhide, pigskin is used where lightweight durability, breathability, and flexibility is required. Premium Textiles We choose only the finest textiles for the OTW Collection. Whether its waxed, washed, woven, or otherwise, we make sure it carries our banner for quality. Lace Details Through the pursuit of pushing our design details and colorways to the limits, we make laces that both looks good and stays on your shoes. Laser Details Precision lasers are used to permanently etch graphics down to the finest details.
