tom519 Report post Posted March 3, 2015 Hello, hope everyone is well... Need a little help on trying to source this type of leather or at least get a name for it. I don't know much about leather at all but I've done my best to describe and send pictures to suppliers without any success. Please see the attached images. - The leather is 2mm thick and is very soft and flexible. - It can be stretched a little which is a must. - The leather can be scrunched up in the hand. - The back of the leather has a suede finish. - The leather goes lighter in colour when bent etc. (i believe this is like 'pull-up' leather?) The only thing I can find which comes close is nappa but i can only find this in around 1mm, this leather is 2mm thick. Any help on what leather this is or UK suppliers would be amazing! Thanks in advance, Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To check it, scratch it with your fingernail and the scratch should rub out with your finger, bringing the color back to original. Oiltan is used for boots and outdoor gear and should be available from any leather supplier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
