The difference between Premium items and our Almost Perfect items is the number of natural character marks. All full-grain leather has some natural character marks from the cow’s life — bug bites, scratches, stretch marks, wrinkles and scars. An Almost Perfect product often will have a mark that is slightly more obvious or will have a combination of the characteristics above. It’s also possible that the color was just a little off from the rest of the hides.
We figured that it'd be a shame to waste such beautiful and functional leather just for aesthetic reasons, so we decided to sell it at a discounted price! Most people are very happy with their Almost Perfect purchase and appreciate the uniqueness it adds! None of these "imperfections" will affect the integrity of the item — you'll still receive a wonderfully well-made product that will last a lifetime, and if you are not happy, both Premium and Almost perfect items are eligible for a return/exchange.
