Top Grain Leather

Top grain leather is the most common type used in furniture, auto, and other applications. The leather is very similar to full grain but has been corrected (through light sanding) to remove imperfections from the skin or hide surface. Top grain leathers are most often finished with pigments or a blend of pigments and aniline dye (called semi aniline leather). The use of pigments allows for a rich and consistent coloration across the leather. These finishes are considered ideal for high-use applications due to the presence of a polyeurathane "top coat" that helps protect the leather from fading and normal "wear and tear.". The range of colors, mutlitones and effects that can be produced are nearly limitless.
