Painter

Saffron and thyme open it dry and a little herbal, with a green thread of maté. Then the suede comes in, soft and pale, over white leather, frankincense and a clean musk that sits close to the skin. It's a tawny, quiet leather, more fur than saddle.

Painter is how the mountains said panther. The Dictionary of Smoky Mountain English calls it the common term in the mountains for the mountain lion, and a speaker recorded in Hartford, Tennessee, in 1959 put it plainly: "All of the mountain people called the panther a painter." The big cats were gone from these mountains before the national park was established, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared the eastern cougar extinct in 2018. People still report seeing one now and then, though the park says there's been no confirmed evidence of a mountain lion in the Smokies in more than 30 years.
