  Leather Information  /  Types & Codes

 

Types of Leather
NappaPig Skin. Soft & lightweight!  Premium Shine! Will Tear if abused.

Cowhide

 

Split Cowhide

Leather from Cow.  Nice Grain Pattern in the leather. A rougher Texture. Heavy Duty Premium Leather.  A bit stiffer than Naked Leather.  The heaviest Leather.  Has a rougher texture than Naked Leather.

Thinner layer of Cowhide.  Usually not rolled or processed like Naked Cowhide.  This leather is used more for function than looks.  Can have a smooth finish.  Any imperfections or grain will show. 

BuffaloThis is Water Buffalo, not American Buffalo.  Light to Medium weight. Thinner than Cowhide. Usually very smooth finish.
NubuckIs like suede, but brushed
GoatVery Soft and Lightweight.  Tears easily.
Naked LeatherCowhide Rolled for a softer feel and smoother finish. Premium Leather. Has a Natural finish. Grain marks show, but add to the look of leather.

 

*Note: I sell no 'Italian Stone Leather'. It is usually "Patchwork Leather", Thin, and Not as Durable.  It is common to find Unsewn areas around the patchwork.  It rips easily.

 

 

Item Codes:

“P” beside the item number indicates it is Pig Skin. Example: LG712-P

“C” beside the item number indicates “Premium Quality” Heavy Duty Cowhide

“N” beside the item number indicates “Premium Quality", Heavy Duty Rolled Cowhide

      (Highly Recommended for durabily and great look.

 

 

Other Facts:

Our Naked leather is 'rolled', not 'painted' in color as some of the products from China process leather.  Our products come mostly from Pakastan who makes some of the best leather items on the market.  They use Quality Leather, the best zippers, and supurb workmanship.

Almost all our products are natural grain.  Some of our products are processed in color, like Pink.

For those who know about measuring leather by thickness, our leather is mostly 1.4 Domestic weight.
