Description
Hair on goat hide brings natural texture to a project in a way no printed leather can: the coat is short, dense and lies flat, so it reads as a fine suede-like pile rather than a shaggy pelt. Goat is smaller and finer in the fibre than cow, which makes these hides easier to cut and stitch for small work. Each hide is naturally tanned and free of harmful chemicals, with a soft-to-medium temper. Hides run 4-6 square feet at roughly 3.5-4 oz. (1.4-1.6 mm).
Why Choose Hair On Goat Hide
- Short, dense coat that lies flat – it cuts and sews far more predictably than a long-hair hide
- Finer and lighter than hair-on cowhide, so it suits wallets, cuffs and small goods
- Natural colour through the hair, not a surface print
- Soft-to-medium temper that folds and stitches without fighting
- Four natural shades – Tan, Natural White, Brown and Espresso, a rich near-black brown

Ordering
Hair on goat hide is sold by the hide. Hair lies in one direction, so cut from the back with a blade rather than shears and lay all the panels of a project the same way round, or they will read as two different shades. Every hide is a natural coat, so density, markings and tone vary from skin to skin – order everything for one project together when it has to match. For larger hair-on pieces see our Hair-On Cowhide and Hair-On Calfskin ranges, or browse the rest of our Goatskin selection.
