Even though it may be used for dress, this boot will not take a high shine due to its full grain. It has a very long life, is moderately priced, is soft and supple and conforms to the foot. The grain usually forms a triangle and is easily recognized. Pigskin is a soft leather with a dominant grain. Retan is thick and heavier than most cowhides therefore some folks do not favor the extra weight but will value the durability of the boot. Retan contains a lot of oils and feels waxy, so it will not polish to a high shine. It is tanned to resist barnyard acids and moisture. Its extra flexibility is due to double tanning (hence the term “re-tan”)-first with an inert chrome solution and then re-tanned with vegetable materials.
Some rough-out leathers are silicone treated as part of its tanning treatment, making them water resistent. A brass suede brush cleans it, though it spots easily and looks dirty because of its absorbancy. Rough-out must be kept clean of mud and other drying ingredients or it will crack. For longer wear select the rough-out that has a soft and pliable feel, with a smoother nap, not too loose-fibered and shaggy looking.
Rough-out steer absorbs water especially through its larger pores. This is the same leather as full grain steer but reversed with the flesh side out. Because of these two processes, the leather lightens in color as the hand lasting process highlights the character of the hide. Our steer hides are aniline tanned so the color is consistent through and through. Steer or cowhide comes in various tannages, the most popular being crazy horse-a lightly sanded pull-up leather with a hot stuffed wax treatment.
