Law Tanning Brown Roughout Shruken Bison

Leather Color • exclusive for Nicks

About

Nicks - Law Tanning Brown Roughout Shrunken Bison is a color variation of Roughout Shrunken Bison produced by Law Tanning Company as an exclusive offering for Nicks Handmade Boots. The leather features brown tones achieved through specialized dyeing processes, while maintaining the technical properties of Roughout Shrunken Bison—including roughout napped surface, shrunken grain texture, and bison hide durability.

This brown variation represents part of the exclusive leather program between Law Tanning Company and Nicks Handmade Boots, providing a distinctive color option for Nicks' heritage boot construction.

Color characteristics

Brown Roughout Shrunken Bison displays rich brown coloration typical of natural leather aesthetics. The coloration results from specialized dyes applied during Law Tanning Company's processing, where dyes penetrate into the leather fibers to create depth that extends beyond surface application.

The roughout processing and shrinking treatment contributes to the color's richness, creating tonal complexity that becomes more apparent through wear. Natural marks present in the hide remain visible, appearing as variations that integrate into the overall appearance and contribute to the leather's characteristic look.

Physical properties

Brown Roughout Shrunken Bison retains all physical characteristics of the Roughout Shrunken Bison leather type. The leather exhibits properties suitable for heritage footwear construction, maintaining the durability and performance characteristics expected from Law Tanning Company production.

The leather develops patina through use, with wear patterns and environmental exposure creating individualized character over time. The finish characteristics support aging without requiring heavy conditioning, as the leather's inherent properties enable natural evolution.

Applications

Brown Roughout Shrunken Bison finds primary application in Nicks Handmade Boots construction, where the exclusive partnership ensures availability for the bootmaker's custom and standard models. The leather's characteristics suit made-to-order boot production, where both aesthetic appeal and technical performance prove important.

As an exclusive offering for Nicks Handmade Boots, Brown Roughout Shrunken Bison appears in custom boot builds where customers specify the leather during ordering. The exclusive nature of this color variation ensures consistent availability for Nicks while providing distinctive aesthetic options not found in standard production leathers.

The leather's aging properties appeal to users who value patina development and natural material evolution, with the brown tones providing distinctive appearance while maintaining functional characteristics appropriate for demanding use.

Care and aging

Brown Roughout Shrunken Bison requires care approaches suitable for its leather type. For roughout leathers, brushing with a suede brush represents the primary maintenance method, removing surface dirt and restoring nap texture. Light conditioning with products formulated for suede and nubuck preserves suppleness without compromising the napped surface.

The leather ages through natural wear and environmental exposure, with high-use areas showing increased patina development over time. Natural marks and grain variations present in the original hide become integrated into the overall aged appearance, creating individualized character that reflects the item's use history.
