As usual we are gonna keep this simple! The treatment of the leather is just different! Best way I know to explain it is like this— if you are finishing a concrete floor you can paint it or stain it. When you paint it you can’t see anything through the color. It covers any imperfections and gives you a clean crisp finish. That’s what I would compare out classics to. The leather quality doesn’t have to be as great (as far as looks) as it gets covered/coated with a non transparent color.

You can also stain your concrete. (We have done this recently!) The stain is translucent/opaque and shows off the Beauty and flaws of the concrete underneath. That is like the new oil tanned leathers! They look much more natural and worn. They do have a slight shine, as they are tanned with oil to keep them beautiful!
