  • This premium leather hide is made from top-quality full-grain sheep leather, ensuring durability and longevity. Its natural grain texture and soft feel has tightly packed, silky pores. The scent of real leather is apparent.
  • Size: Our leather hide measures approximately 7-9 sq. ft, providing ample material for your creative projects. With an average thickness of 0.8mm.
  • Selection: AA Grade Quality leather hide selection. We manually select each hide from hundreds of hides to find the best possible leather for your crafting.
  • Durability: The full-grain leather construction and natural oils give this leather hide superior resistance to wear and tear, ensuring that your project will look as good as new for years to come.
  • Ethically Sourced: All skins are from animals that have been reared as a food source. It is a whole Sheepskin, not a square / rectangle piece.
  • When using any chemical on your rub-off leather product, always test it on a small, hidden area first to see how the leather reacts. This allows you to ensure that the chemical won't cause unwanted damage or discoloration.

Description

Step-by-Step Process:
1. Preparation:
Ensure your leather product is clean and free of dirt, dust, and oils.
Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes from chemicals.
2. Rubbing Treatment:
Dampen a soft cloth with rubbing iso alcohol or acetone. When using the chemical use with lower concentration first. Maximum concentration of rubbing alchol recommended is 70%.
Lightly rub the damp cloth over the areas which will create variation in color.
Allow the leather to dry completely.
3. Examining:
Examine the leather to see if you've achieved the desired antique effect. If you want more distressing, you can repeat the application steps.
4. Final Touches:

Apply a leather conditioner or wax to the entire leather surface. This will help nourish and protect the leather.
If needed, gently buff the leather with a clean, soft cloth to achieve a subtle sheen.

Can also do sanding if rugged look is required, do this step before step 2:
Gently sand the areas of the leather where you want to create an antique look. Focus on edges, seams, and areas that would naturally experience wear over time.
Sand with light pressure using fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding block. The goal is to lightly remove the top dye layer and expose the lighter layer underneath.
Wipe away sanding residue with a clean, dry cloth.
