Description
Long hair cavallino calfskin in brown with black – a natural two-tone coat where brown ground and dark markings fall as they grew on the animal, so no two hides carry the same pattern. The coat is left full length, giving it movement and depth that a clipped hide cannot. Hides run 4-9 square feet at 2/3 oz.
Why Choose Two-Tone Cavallino Calfskin
- Natural markings – every hide is different, so a piece cut from one is unrepeatable
- 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
- Brown and black together suit tan, brass and antique hardware equally
- Three size bands from 4-5 up to 8-9 sq. ft.
Best Uses for Two-Tone Cavallino Calfskin
- Handbags, clutches and statement accessories
- Boots, shoe panels and footwear trim
- Garment panels, collars, cuffs and yokes
- Cushions, throws and decor
- Costume, stage and film wardrobe

The Hide
Ordering
This is a natural hide, so the markings shown are an example of the type rather than the hide you will receive – placement, proportion of brown to black and hair density all vary from skin to skin. Plan the cut around the pattern rather than expecting it to repeat, and if a project needs two matching panels, buy a hide large enough to take both. Hair lies in one direction, so cut from the back with a blade and lay every panel the same way round. For plain colours see our Hair-On Calfskin range, or browse our Hair-On Cowhide.
