Dr Martens – 8065 Mary Jane Cherry Red

Double buckle. The Mary Jane meets distressed Crazy Horse leather that ages uniquely for every wearer. Brogue detailing. Antique gold hardware. Buckle fastenings. The original DMS sole is heat-sealed, groove-edged and air-cushioned for bounce in every step. Crazy Horse leather oozes character from day one, with natural colour variations that come through when rubbed or scratched.

Heavy-duty and oil-finished. Crazy Horse is a characterful, heavyweight leather with true colour-depth.

A buffed full grain cowhide treated with oil and wax layers that cause natural variations in colour when scratched or rubbed. Big on character, it has a distressed, worn-in look straight out of the box.

Developed in Prime Tanning, a US tannery in the mid-80s, and inspired by traditional saddlery leathers, Crazy Horse is finished with oil and waxes for a distinctive pull-up effect and depth of colour. Over time, natural oils tend to rise to the surface of the leather, developing a misty look called a ‘bloom’.

Sometimes called saddle leather, Crazy Horse tends to show off every scuff or scrape. But it also responds particularly well to Wonder Balsam if you want to wax the marks away.
