Description
Y. Bolt is a waxed cow suede: a double butt split finished with hot wax, which lays the nap down and leaves a low sheen and a firm, slightly rigid hand. It reads as rustic rather than plush – closer to a worn work leather than to a dress suede – and the wax gives it a surface that resists marking better than an open nap. Pieces run 14-16 square feet at 3/4 oz. (1.2-1.4 mm) in Black, Seal Brown, Rustic Brown, Gray, Dutch Blue and Faded Denim.
Why Choose Waxed Cow Suede
- Hot wax finish that flattens the nap and lifts a subtle rustic sheen
- Firmer hand than a plain suede split, so it holds a line in a bag or a boot
- Cut from double butt splits – the firmest, most consistent part of the hide
- Waxed surface resists scuffing and handling marks better than an open nap
- Six colors, including two blues that are hard to find in suede

Ordering
Waxed cow suede is sold by the piece, and each one falls within the size range you choose. The wax finish deepens where the leather is rubbed or folded, which is part of the rustic look, and it can lighten if heated – keep an iron and hot glue away from the face. Order all of one color together when a project has to match. For a plush open nap see our Suedes & Nubuck range, or browse Distressed Leather, Belting Leather and all Cowhide.
