Seidel Oxblood Double Shot

As one of seven standard colors in the Double Shot line, Oxblood provides a rich burgundy-red option valued for its dramatic color and strong patina development. The leather maintains all standard specifications including 7-ounce weight (approximately 2.8mm thick), full-grain construction, and semi-supple hand feel. The multiple hot wax infusion process creates pronounced pullup characteristics and an 8/10 patina rating, with the brown core gradually emerging through heavy use to create teacore effects.

Oxblood Double Shot presents a deep scarlet red coloring with burgundy undertones. The rich, saturated hue creates a distinctive appearance valued in heritage footwear. The glossy surface finish characteristic of hot-stuffed leather enhances the color's depth and visual complexity, creating a luxurious presentation.

The underlying tea-colored base becomes visible through wear, particularly at high-stress areas and flex points. This teacore effect creates unique aging patterns as the deep red surface layer gradually reveals brown undertones, producing boots with character reflecting individual use patterns. The combination of rich surface color and developing brown core creates complex patina.

The leather exhibits the same physical specifications as other Double Shot variants: 7-ounce weight, full-grain construction, semi-supple temper, and moderate weather resistance from hot-stuffing. The pullup effect creates tonal variations when folded or creased, with the waxes and oils shifting to reveal lighter tones within the oxblood coloring.

Oxblood Double Shot is suitable for heritage boot construction and leather goods where rich burgundy-red coloring is desired. The dramatic color combined with strong aging potential appeals to users who value distinctive leather character. The leather has been documented in use by boot manufacturers including Truman Boot Co.

Care requirements mirror other Double Shot variants: regular boot protector or boot cream application, horsehair brushing, and occasional conditioning. The oxblood coloring responds to maintenance products, with conditioning potentially affecting color intensity. Leather bloom can be buffed away if it develops.
