C.F. Stead Anise Kudu Reverse

Kudu Reverse in Anise provides heritage footwear makers with a warm golden tone suitable for casual boots and derby shoes. The finely sanded flesh side complements the leather's butter-soft properties while the aniline-dyed finish maintains a natural appearance that highlights the authentic characteristics of the full-grain antelope hide.

Anise Kudu Reverse maintains the standard specifications of the Kudu Reverse line. The leather has a thickness of 1.6-2.2 mm with a weight of 4.5-5.5 ounces and an average skin size of 13-15 square feet. The material features hand-selected hides processed through the Janus tannage, creating the distinctive dual-sided construction with luxurious suede on the reverse and nubuck finish on the grain side.

The Anise colorway presents a spicy golden tan to wheat tone enhanced by the aniline dyeing process. The flesh side features a finely sanded surface with a uniform, slightly elongated nap that achieves what is described as a butter-soft texture with luxurious luster. The natural finish preserves the leather's authentic character while the hand-selection of hides ensures consistent quality. The combination of the warm Anise color with the cashmere-like softness of the reverse creates a refined appearance suitable for both rugged and refined heritage footwear applications.
