What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the stain for its ease of application, smooth coverage, and ability to enhance natural wood grain while keeping texture visible. Most note one coat provides full coverage with even finish and minimal product waste. The semi-transparent finish receives consistent acclaim for its rich, authentic appearance. However, a notable group reports color discrepancies—appearing lighter or more yellow than online samples suggested. Despite this concern, many find the durable finish worth the investment, with reviewers reporting it withstands weather and UV exposure well over time. Overall, most customers recommend it despite color accuracy issues.

I applied this Cordovan Leather stain and sealer by Cabot to the side boards of my trailer. I like the way it looks and it went on easy.

Very good product

Would Recommend

I loved the product and the finish we ended with I will use it and recommend it to others the only negative thing is it didn't cover the square footage that it says you will get per gallon. But that's not a reason to not use it again.

Ordered Newbury Port Blue, hard to come by; they sent clear untinted, late. Have spent a whole day trying to find out how to get a return/refund.
