Upholstery Leather
Top Grain Hand Crafted

We carry many types of furniture & automotive upholstery leather. We have sources for leathers from around the world. Hair-on leathers, animal print leathers, glossy and matte tanned leathers. We sell leather in either full hides or half hides - only.

Your upholstered furniture or automobile can become rich and elegant if you upholster it in one of our finest Top Grain Leathers, when upholstery fabric just won't do.

For every yard of 54" upholstery fabric order 18 square feet of upholstery leather. A half hide of upholstery leather is approx. 25 square feet. A full hide of upholstery leather is approx. 50 square feet.

How to Clean Leather

Sufficient oils are incorporated in the leather during the tannage to last indefinitely. As the finish is waterproof, oil applied to the surface of the leather will not affect the hide itself, but it will certainly RUIN the finish. Never use furniture polishes, varnishes, or ammonia, as these are certain to ruin the finish also, causing it to become sticky and ultimately crack.

Soiled Leather may be washed using these simple instructions:


1) Use lukewarm, not hot or cold distilled or pure water, and any MILD soap on treated leathers. MILD soap is not recommended on all leathers, please verify your leather is washable with soap.
2) 
Work up a thin layer of suds on a piece of cheese-cloth
and go over the leather surface.
3)  Go over the cleaned area again with a piece of damp cheese-cloth, this time using no soap.
4)  Finish up by wiping with a dry, soft cloth.
