THE LEATHER Seidel's Black Oiled Rough Out is a chrome-tanned leather that features a hefty use of oil in the tanning process. This leather is perfect for footwear: tough, supple, beautiful, and very weather-resistant. Not to be confused with the similarly named Black Oil-Tanned Rough Out, a drier, stiffer leather we've used in the past.
