Bone is a light cream colorway of Kudu Nubuck leather produced by English tannery Charles F. Stead exclusively for Tricker's. This color features the leather's characteristic nubuck finish with soft suede on the reverse side, displaying the natural scars and markings from wild kudu antelope hide.
Kudu Nubuck in Bone provides heritage footwear makers with a light neutral tone suitable for casual boots and refined country styles. The nubuck surface complements the leather's wonderfully soft and supple properties while highlighting the authentic natural blemishes acquired by the animal during its life in African brush terrain.
Bone Kudu Nubuck maintains the standard specifications of the Kudu Nubuck line. The leather has a thickness of 2.0-2.2 mm and an average skin size of 12-16 square feet. The material features the proprietary Janus tannage process, creating soft suede on the reverse side while maintaining the nubuck finish on the grain side.
The Bone colorway presents a light cream to off-white tone that enhances the visibility of the leather's natural characteristics. The nubuck processing creates a velvet-like surface texture that reveals and highlights authentic scars, cuts, and markings from the kudu's life in the wild. Each hide displays unique natural blemishes that vary across different areas, contributing to the distinctive character of finished footwear. The combination of the light Bone color with the soft nubuck finish creates a refined yet casual appearance suitable for heritage boot applications.
