BUYING LEATHER
BUYING LEATHER IS NOT LIKE BUYING FABRIC.
​
Understanding that is your first step in having a good buying experience. These guides will give you the information you'll need to get started.

CUSTOM COLORS MADE TO ORDER
Our leather hides are available in a wide range of colors. However, in the event that there is no satisfactory color to meet your special requirements, we are in a position to create custom colors to match your fabric, carpet, or wallpaper. We can custom-match most colors and finishes for $16.95 a square foot plus a one-time color matching charge of $100.00.

CARING FOR LEATHER
Genuine leather requires very little care. Dust it regularly, and minor spots can be washed off. Use lukewarm water and mild soap, but nothing abrasive. Work up some suds and go over the surface with a soft cloth. Rinse off any soap film with clean water and toweling. It may dry dull, but normal gloss can be restored by rubbing with clean toweling. These instructions apply to finished leather only, not to any suede. Never use furniture polish, oil, varnish, ammonia, or cleaning solvents. Our leather hides for upholstery will last a lifetime if cared for properly.
