Palma Green Is Back 💚

Howdy Sabah People,

One of my very favorite Sabahs, of all time, is back in stock today, for my birthday: Palma Green.

It's a vibrant green that's made by my preferred leather tanner in Turkey. His name is Cafer. That's him below.

We met in the early days of Sabah, and I certainly feel lucky to know him. He's a rare one, and largely responsible for my education in good leather.

Almost a decade ago, as I began to understand that a Sabah is only as good as the leather used to make it, I told Cafer I only wanted to source the best, no matter the cost.

With his customers mostly focused on reducing price per square foot, he smiled and said he was up to the task.

This is how, amongst several other of our longstanding colors, Palma Green was born.

The quest for the best starts with sourcing. Cafer employs an expert to hand-pick every single raw hide for Sabah; only full grain, quality A, and from certified sources.

From there, we only use high quality ingredients in the tanning process - no cheap synthetics, and no paint. And then we take our time. No rushing - every hide is drum-dyed, sometimes multiple times, and finished carefully with a blend of waxes & oils to provide rich color and a resilient, matte finish. Every batch is inspected before being shipped to our workshop, and inspected again upon arrival.

Palma Green was one of the first leathers we produced with Cafer under this initiative.

And to this day, it might still be my favorite.

Enjoy!

Sincerely,

The Sabah Dealer

My Personal Palmas.

That's my very own pair of Palma Green Sabahs. They've traveled the world and how well they've aged speaks to the quality of this leather: full grain, drum-dyed, and tanned with a bit of wax for a resilient, matte finish.
