Create a home with distinction!
Exquisite and comfortable, no two leather hides are exactly alike, Like you, each hide is unique! Many factors affect the look and texture of leather from climate, age and ranching methods. For example, a hide from South America will not look the same as a hide from the United States. Hides from warm-climate cattle are thinner and do not absorb much dye. Hides from ranches that use barbed wire will have different range marks.
The most coveted leather hides do not go through the multiple correction processes of inferior hides, and therefore exhibit color variations and range marks. These premium hides highlight the unique and natural quality of leather left unmasked by dyes and varnishes.
Types of Leather
Full Aniline Leather:
• the finest leather available, always made from premium quality,
full top-grain hides (the surface of a full-grain
hide has not been mechanically altered)
• the softest, most luxurious and natural-looking leather
• more likely to fade and stain;will feature noticeable
range marks, barbed wire scars,wrinkles, scratches
and brands
• unretouched, resulting in subtle color and shading
differences from hide to hide–and even within a hide
• generally more expensive than other types of leather
Semi-aniline Leather:
• high quality, high-value leather, always top-grain
• soft and beautiful; durable and practical
• often coated with clear sealant to enhance stain resistance
• slightly more uniform in color and texture than full aniline
• fewer noticeable range marks
• generally less expensive than full aniline leather
Nubuck Leather:
• high quality, full top-grain leather buffed or sanded to a
velvety, suede-like nap
• more likely to fade and stain; will feature noticeable range
marks, barbed wire scars,wrinkles, scratches and brands
• soft and beautiful;more durable than a true suede that
is produced from lower quality split-grain leather
Pigmented Leather:
• least likely to fade or stain
• sanded surface and a faux embossed pattern create a
highly uniform and consistent texture
• coated with clear sealant to enhance stain resistance
• opaque dyes create rich and uniform coloration that
minimize natural marks and scars
• excellent durability with minimal maintenance
