Alright. Now it is about oil-waxed PU leather. What is oil-waxed PU leather? Of course, the name itself explains it. On this type of leather, an oily, greasy, and waxy finish has been applied. Pulled-up, oiled, or waxed leather is a type of sanded leather on top of which, grease or wax layer is sprayed.

As you might already know, it’s a centuries-old practice to spray wax, grease, or oil on smoothed-out leather surfaces to get a vintage look. Because of that, oiled, waxed, or pulled-up leather is collectively known as vintage leather. Vintage leather is not artificial leather, it’s just real leather with a wax coat on top of it.

 Spraying wax or oil makes the leather more water-resistant. Due to the scratch-sensitive nature of wax, this type of leather tends to develop a patina rather quickly. While applying a wax or oil layer seems protective for leather, it is not the case most of the time. Waxed leather is harder to clean and is not as durable as real leather.
