Dirt, Coffee & Bourbon = Patina?? Let’s Try! - The “Muddy” Mackenzie Wallet!

The “Muddy” Mackenzie!
Making the Mackenzie minimalist wallet, step by step.
Prior to construction, however, I’ll try to kick start the patina / aging processing. I estimate I can tack on a few months of aging at the onset, but no more.
I don’t want much more than that, because the very act of leather aging tells its own story. I’m not looking for a completely fake story. My goal is simply to get it started right out of the gate. Give it a head start, if you will.
Natural patina will develop over time when it absorbs and displays the world around it. Dust, dirt, water, oils, sunlight, blue jean denim dye, etc.
In all, I applied:
- Dirt
- Coffee
- Bourbon
- Maul’s Balm (almond oil, coconut oil, hempseed oil, Shea butter, cocoa butter, beezwax)
- Neetsfoot oil
