Shocked at the drastic scratches
[[VIDEOID:11aee0a9c841cb85f471cf76ad7182ed]] Nice weight leather and the design is nice.<br /><br />This type of leather will show natural range blemishes from the animal and with normal usage, but the one I received looked like someone stepped on it and slid it along a cement floor. It even has some dotted patterning in it.  These  definitely are not natural range markings nor what I consider normal wear - since it hadn’t even been out of the box.  I went online with these same photo/video and asked if that was typical.  The responses from people with this same one all said that the scratches on mine were extreme.  I contacted the company, sent these same photo/video and was told it was normal for this leather.<br /><br />It’s a beautiful color and appears well made, although the elastic is frayed.  I will trim it and put some on Fray Check glue to stop it.<br /><br />If you buy this and it’s like the one I received, I think you will be a bit shocked at the extent of the scratching. Be prepared to buy a leather conditioner and put some elbow grease into it, unless you like the look of leather being stepped on and ground into a cement floor.
