Description
Long hair cavallino is a hair-on calfskin left with its full coat – a longer, softer pile with real movement, where the short-hair version is clipped close and velvet-flat. This is the Black, dyed through the hair. Hides run 4-11 square feet at 2/3 oz., and the coat falls in a natural direction across the skin.
Why Choose Long Hair Cavallino Calfskin
- Full-length coat with movement and depth that a clipped hide cannot give
- Calfskin base, finer and more uniform than cowhide of the same weight
- Hides up to 10-11 sq. ft., so a full panel cuts in one piece
- A true black through the hair, not a surface print
- Four size bands, so you buy close to what you need

The Hide
Ordering
Long hair cavallino calfskin is sold by the hide. The coat lies in one direction and shows it more than a clipped hide does, so cut from the back with a blade rather than shears and lay every panel the same way round. Long hair also hides a stitch line, so plan seams where the pile can fall over them. Every hide is a natural coat, so density and markings vary – order everything for one project together. For the clipped version see our Short Hair Cavallino Calfskin, or browse the full Hair-On Calfskin range. For current stock or volume pricing, email Info@Avetcoinc.com or call 818-890-6680.
