What is destresed leather?

My friend Paul Woloshansky built his own panniers and his own racks. Short article here
I call it that but it is left natural with no dye and darkend by the oil and bee wax I use on them. That is the first set I ever made and I use them every day so they have had lots of slushy road salt splashed on them and year-round weather. Destressed may not be a good word to use, I just make bags
