Leather library

Know your leather.

Every product starts with the hide. Here is a guide to the leathers we source, stock and finish — and what each one does best.

Leather hides
Grade1.2 – 2.0 mm

Full-Grain Cowhide

The strongest, most honest leather. The complete grain is left intact so it breathes, resists wear and develops a deep patina over the years.
