What Type Of Leather Is This?

Recommended Posts

Hello forum! I am a new guy at upholstery but I find this a fascinating craft. I really, REALLY want to learn how to make my own custom steering wheel covers, shift knobs and shift boots. I found a super high-end auto upholstery shop that has pictures of some of their work. What kind of leather is this in the picture and where can I get it? http://www.advancedleatherworkshop.com/AstonPics/VanquishSteerWheel.jpg See how soft, thick and smooth it is? I want. I WANT.

Try taking a piece os veg tanned leather and run it through a pasta roller. It tightens the grain, softens the leather and it is smooth like shoe leather.
