SIZING/FIT
The MF Campus Jacket Bison edition does not require any type of pre-treatment or conditioning and is ready to wear as-is.

CARE
Embrace the fact that the veg-tan Tea-Core leather is prone to get nicked and scratched, revealing the under-layer color, unavoidably showing signs of wear.

Do not use neatsfoot oil or leather conditioners specific to footwear.

Please note that each batch of Bison leather comes out of the tannery with slight variations of the russet brown hue. This is due to the many human variables, the complex vegetable tanning process, the special Tea-Core dyeing methods, and the specifics of each hide.
This 2025 batch of Bison is slightly darker than the previous 2024 release.
