Additional Information
- Produced without chromium ELMOSOFT is even better. It combines a beautiful soft handle with great durability and a beautiful natural appearance. All of nature's gifts such as growth marks, insect bites and healed scars are there to be seen, thus making each hide unique. As ELMOSOFT is chrome-free it is more comfortable, as less pigment is required on the surface thus allowing the leather to breathe more readily
