Description
Goatskin washed leather is a goat hide tumbled and washed after dyeing, which softens the fibre and lifts the natural pebble into a relaxed, lived-in grain. The colours come out warm and slightly uneven, the way a washed garment does – that variation is the finish rather than a fault. Hides run 5-6 square feet at 3 oz., stocked in Black, Brown, Brandy, Nugget, Tan, Taupe and Gray.
Why Choose Goatskin Washed Leather
- Washed and tumbled, so it arrives soft and broken-in rather than stiff
- Natural goat pebble lifted by the wash, with depth a flat finish cannot give
- Goat fibre resists tearing where a lambskin of the same weight would give
- Seven warm, earthy shades that work together in one piece
- Useful 3 oz. weight – enough body for bags, still soft enough to gather

Ordering
Goatskin washed leather is sold by the hide. A washed finish varies more between skins than a flat one does – shade, pebble and softness all shift a little – so order everything for one project together, and cut matching panels from the same area of the hide. For other goat finishes see our full Goatskin range, or browse our Distressed Leather and Garment Leather. Quantities are limited. For swatches or current stock, email Info@Avetcoinc.com or call 818-890-6680.
Disclaimer: These leathers are free of PCP, Azo Pigments, Chrome VI, Formaldehyde, and APEO.
