Maryam 1071 Rovescio Sego Horsebutt

Rovescio Sego Horsebutt represents Maryam's approach to creating reverse horsehide with enhanced weather resistance through oil/grease treatment. The combination of reverse napped texture and sego oily finish produces leather with distinctive hand feel and pull-up characteristics, suitable for heritage footwear applications emphasizing both aesthetics and functional performance.

1071 Rovescio Sego Horsebutt is produced from horsebutt sections with reverse (flesh-side out) orientation, creating napped surface texture. The sego treatment incorporates oils and greases into the leather, providing water resistance and contributing to pull-up effects where the leather lightens when bent or stretched.

The horsebutt base provides durability characteristics valued in footwear, while the reverse processing creates soft hand feel with visible nap. The sego oil content affects the leather's behavior, creating slight waxy feel and enabling dramatic pull-up effects as the oils shift within the leather structure during flexing.

1071 Rovescio Sego Horsebutt production begins with horsebutt selection at Maryam's facility. The hides undergo reverse processing with flesh side oriented outward, followed by sego treatment that incorporates oils and greases into the leather structure. Color application occurs through dyeing processes adapted for the reverse napped surface.

The sego designation indicates the oil/grease treatment that distinguishes this leather from standard reverse processing. This treatment affects the leather's hand feel, water resistance, and aging characteristics, creating material with properties distinct from untreated reverse leather.

1071 Rovescio Sego Horsebutt displays specific shade designated as 1071 in Maryam's color system. The coloration results from dyes applied during Maryam's processing, with the reverse napped surface and sego oil content affecting how the color presents visually.

The 1071 coloration exhibit depth enhanced by the pull-up characteristics resulting from sego treatment. When the leather bends or stretches, the 1071 coloration lighten as oils shift, revealing undertones and creating dramatic visual effects valued in heritage leather applications.

1071 Rovescio Sego Horsebutt combines the structural properties of horsebutt leather with the surface characteristics of reverse processing and the performance attributes of sego treatment. The leather exhibits water resistance from oil content while maintaining breathability appropriate for footwear use.

The pull-up effects prove more dramatic than standard reverse leather due to the sego oil content, with flexed areas showing significant color lightening. This characteristic creates visual interest and contributes to the leather's distinctive appearance during wear.

1071 Rovescio Sego Horsebutt finds application in heritage footwear construction where reverse leather aesthetics and sego performance characteristics suit design requirements. The oil-treated napped surface works in boot styles emphasizing both rugged appearance and weather resistance.

The dramatic pull-up effects and 1071 coloration appeal to heritage boot enthusiasts who value distinctive leather characteristics and visible aging patterns. Custom bootmakers utilize the material for builds where unique color and texture contribute to overall aesthetic impact.

1071 Rovescio Sego Horsebutt requires care appropriate for oily reverse leathers. Brushing with suede brush maintains nap texture, while the sego oil content reduces conditioning needs compared to untreated reverse leather. The oil treatment provides inherent water resistance, though protective treatments formulated for oily suede can enhance moisture protection.

The leather ages through mechanical wear and oil redistribution, with pull-up effects becoming more pronounced over time. The 1071 coloration evolve as the leather develops patina, with high-flex areas showing distinctive color variation from repeated oil shifting. Natural darkening occurs from handling and environmental exposure, creating individualized character.
