Description
Suave is a full grain aniline cow leather finished matte rather than glossy. The color goes in through a drum-dye process, so it sits in the leather instead of on top of it, and the aniline finish leaves the grain, the growth marks and the depth of the hide all visible. The result is a rich, quiet surface that looks like leather rather than like a coating. Sides run 18-20 square feet at 3 oz. (1.0-1.2 mm) in Black, Dark Gray, Cinnamon, Saddle Lion, Plum, Red and Insignia Blue.
Why Choose Full Grain Aniline Cow Leather
- Full-grain surface – nothing sanded or corrected away, so the hide wears in rather than out
- Drum dyed through, so cut edges and skived areas show color rather than a pale core
- Soft matte aniline finish with no plastic sheen
- Supple 3 oz. temper that cuts, folds and stitches easily
- Seven saturated shades, useful across a whole collection

Ordering
Full grain aniline cow leather is sold by the side, and each one falls within the size range you choose. With no pigment coat to even things out, shade and grain vary from hide to hide – that variation is what an aniline finish looks like, not a fault – so order all of one color together when a project has to match, and work with clean hands, as aniline marks more readily than a coated surface.
