Did you soak in room temperature coffee?

[@distressedtailor]

It was hot when I poured it out but it cooled down during the soak.

@@distressedtailor maybe the immediate heat might have reacted..... My white leather bag once got soaked in iced coffee and I didn't notice, then a portion of it became tan..... But still soft ☺️

Try beeswax finish. Rub warm beeswax on leather and melt it in with a hot gun. It makes leather darker and gives it rustic, used look. Your leather getting really stiff after soaking is not good. Well tanned leather do not do it. That separation of layers is also bad sign. You have some bad (too short) tan or little rotten skin before tanning there.

Oh didn't know that about the separation, but that explains a lot.
