C.F. Stead Light Visone Kudu Roughout

Kudu Reverse in Light Visone provides heritage footwear makers with a light neutral tone suitable for refined boots and casual footwear. The roughout surface complements the leather's cashmere-like properties while maintaining the authentic characteristics of the full-grain antelope hide.

Light Visone Kudu Roughout 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 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 Light Visone colorway presents a light beige to tan tone, with the name Visone deriving from the Italian word for mink. The roughout finish features the leather's flesh side presented outward, displaying a uniform nap characteristic of the reverse construction. The Janus tannage creates what is described as a cashmere-like softness on the suede side while maintaining structural integrity. Natural features including scars and markings from the kudu's wild origins remain visible, contributing to each hide's unique character. The combination of the light neutral color with the soft roughout finish creates a refined appearance suitable for heritage footwear applications.
