Product Details Material: Genuine Calfskin Leather Front Surface: Black Hair-On Backside: Black Suede Design: Acid Wash Pattern Color: Black with Contrasting Grey & Pale Neutral Accents Shape: Natural, Irregular Hide Size: 5 - 6 sqft Working With Hair-On Leather Hair-on leather requires slightly different handling than traditional smooth leather. Pay attention to the natural direction of the hair when laying out and cutting pattern pieces. Some hair shedding may occur during cutting, sewing, or regular use. Avoid placing hair-on sections in high-friction areas, such as bag bottoms or handles, to help preserve their appearance. Important Information About Genuine Leather Each natural leather hide is unique. Variations in color, grain, texture, thickness, and shape are normal. Natural wrinkles, creases, scars, markings, and irregular edges may be present. Dimensions are measured at the widest points. Due to the hide's irregular shape, the actual usable cutting area is smaller than its overall dimensions. You will receive the exact hide pictured. By purchasing our leather products, you acknowledge and accept these natural variations as a hallmark of genuine leather craftsmanship.
