Full Grain Leather: The leather surface without
an attempt to hide or conceal the natural markings of
the animal, which were incurred during its lifetime. The
herald scratches, insect bites, blood vein, growth
wrinkles and variation of grain all constitute the
character and charm of "Nature's Signatures". Full grain
leather can be either pure aniline or semi-aniline (or
Aniline Plus). Full grain leather is sometimes plated to
produce a special effect or even enhance an already
natural grain, i.e., a textured appeal versus a smooth
appeal.
Plated, Embossed, Buffed
or corrected grain Leather: When full grain leather has
too many of "Nature Signatures", it is buffed or sanded
much in the same manner as wood is sanded. The sanding
(sometimes called correcting) process levels the high
spots of healed scratches, etc, and removes some of the
natural grain.
Top grain Leather:
The thickness of all hides before tanning can vary quite
a bit. To obtain a uniform thickness for upholstery, the
hides are fed through a splitting machine with the grain
side up, yielding a grain portion called top grain. The
underneath of flesh layer that is cut off is called a
split.
Full or Pure Aniline: It is
generally accepted that only five percent of the world's
hide supply is of high enough quality for pure aniline
upholstery leather. Aniline dyeing is the process of
soaking the skins in transparent aniline dyes which
color or shades the skins without obscuring the natural
markings or grain character of the leather.
The
hides are dyed all the way through with no pigmented
topcoat.
Semi-Aniline or
Aniline-Plus: These are terms that define a supplemental
step beyond aniline dyeing which adds a top-coating of
highly dispersed pigments and dyes to the surface of
aniline dyed hides. By dyeing the leather throughout
before the final surface coating, a very even coloration
can be achieved with only a thin layer of finish, and
the leather remains softer. |
