Overview
These are conditioning-first pieces. The hides are chosen to develop patina, which means gentle, consistent conditioning matters far more than any cleaning product — and aggressive cleaners cause most of the damage this brand ever sees.
Background
Founded in 1981 in Hickory, North Carolina; known for bench-made leather seating.

Cleaning Recommendations
- Dry-dust weekly; damp-wipe only with distilled water when needed
- Never use saddle soap, alcohol wipes, or all-purpose sprays
Care Recommendations
- Condition every six months with a product matched to the hide finish
- Blot spills immediately and let the hide dry naturally
Protection Tips
- Keep hides at least a few feet from unshaded windows and out of direct HVAC airflow
Florida Considerations
- The dry-season A/C cycle pulls moisture out of hides faster than most owners expect — condition entering winter
Common Problems
- Dryness at headrests and arms
- Color transfer from dark denim on light hides
Common Mistakes
- Using a conditioner intended for protected leather on an aniline hide
Warranty Information
- Frame and spring coverage is long-term; hide patina, stretch, and natural markings are expected characteristics, not defects
Registration Information
- File the hide name and finish type from the order — it determines which conditioner is safe
