Leather treatment process

Abstract

A process for treating leather is provided that contours leather fabric by applying a high heat, low oxygen, heat source capable of maintaining constant temperature, to leather at an angle that creates a valley in the leather at the point of application of the heat source and curls the leather surrounding the heat source upward. The process may further include blasting the leather with sand or beaded glass to lighten the color of the original leather fabric and create a worn or distressed look. The process may further involve dying the leather after the leather has been distressed. Optionally, the process may also include applying a light coating of lanolin oil to add moisture to the leather after it has been treated.
