The Beauty of
Leather
Full-grain leather is nature's product. It has
individual characteristics that make each hide
unique. Leather will always retain the marks of its
natural origin. No two hides are ever alike. Due to
varying grain structure, the dyes and finishes
penetrate to different degrees in different parts of
the hide to give additional variations.

- Scars:
These are usually formed as a result of barbed
wire damage, disease and infestation, or by the
horns of other cattle. In their healed form, the
new skin is as strong as the remainder of the
hide.
- Stretch
Marks: The process of calving requires the
stretching of the skin to accommodate the new
calf. Nothing could be more natural.
- Growth Marks
and Veins: These are an indication of the
age of the animal and in that respect are
similar to the graining on a piece of timber.
They often range from quite pronounced marks to
subtle bands across the hide perpendicular to
the backbone.
- Grain
Variation: The fiber texture varies greatly
from being loose in the belly and flank areas to
being relatively light across the backbone. The
looser areas consistently have more stretch.
This variation in hair pore structure is
particularly noticeable in untextured leathers.
Other variations in grain pattern occur during
the life of the animal.
- Neck
Wrinkles: So that the steer will have the
flexibility needed to move its head while
grazing; the skin located on the neck is full
and loose. As the neck stretches and contracts,
wrinkles naturally occur in the hide.
- Backbone:
The natural furrows appear along the backbone of
all hides. Again, due to the animal's
physiology, they are your proof of a natural
full-grain hide.
- Graining:
Like human fingerprints, graining is unique to
each individual hide, and is the hallmark of
quality full-grain leather hides.
- Branding
Marks: Although seldom found on finished
furniture, the branding marks are a part of
virtually every hide.
Protected
Aniline Leathers:
Protected aniline leathers have been aniline
dyed and have a pigmented top coat to ensure
color consistency while still showing the
natural characteristics of the hide. They
are the perfect choice for people who expect
the most out of life and demand high
performance. Protected aniline leathers have
an outstanding durability level and are
great for families of energetic individuals.
Characteristics and Expectations:
Color will be more consistent throughout the
hide. Protected aniline leathers may be
cleansed easily using water. Ink may be
cleaned with an approved leather care kit.
Protected aniline leathers wear consistently
with time. Protected aniline accounts for
90% of all leathers sold. More hides are
available in this selection than any other.
Care and
Cleaning:
Leather is the most durable and easily
maintained of all upholstery materials, but
like any other important investment, leather
furniture requires proper care and
attention. For routine maintenance,
occasional wiping with a soft white, damp
cloth is all the care your furniture will
need. Avoid using soap, which contains
alkalines that alter the leather's
appearance.

Pure Aniline
Leathers:
Pure aniline is any leather, which receives
all it's color from aniline dyes. Natural
markings and characteristics are exhibited.
Pure anilines contain a chemical that
promotes water and stain resistance. No
topical treatment or pigments are used in
determining the color of the leather. Pure
aniline is for people who strive for the
finer things in life and appreciate the rare
and natural beauty. These leathers offer the
elegance and luxury of silk. Pure aniline
leather appeals to the senses and invites
you to experience the sensational soft feel
and uniqueness. Each hide has its own
characteristics such as color shading and
healed scars that set it apart from all
other leathers.
Characteristics and Expectations:
Color variations are to be expected
throughout the hide. Healed scars and
scratches are unique characteristics and
should be cut into any pattern. A rich
patina develops over time enhancing the
appearance of the leather.
Care and
Cleaning:
Cared for properly, your leather will
provide you with many years of comfort and
satisfaction. Pure anilines are treated,
which promotes water and stain resistance
for easy cleaning. If a stain goes unnoticed
and penetrates the leather, use lukewarm
water and a soft white cloth to gently clean
the stain and surrounding area for best
results. |
