Help with identifying material

[kellyblues]

What type of material is this? What is it called? I think it's a pleather of some type but I can't find it online anywhere. It's kinda spongy and about the thickness of a nickel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like upholstery leather to me. It should be chrome tanned.

I agree, it looks like upholstery leather

Easy test; take a small cutting, use a match/lighter/candle to set fire to it - if it smells like burnt flesh you have leather, if it starts burning and giving off black smoke with small black sooty bits you have PULeather

I agree. It looks a lot like the Italian leather we use in quite a few of our tote bags.Sovereign is one that is of a high standard we use often. The agents in Australia have a pretty decent web site.http://www.leatherco.com.au/colours/upholstery-leathers/furniture-interior/sovereign/3/12/89

I did the burn test. It's  upholstery leather. Thanks everyone! This stuff is great for making tool rolls with. I got a bunch of it a long time ago at an auction with some leather tools. I've used all but a couple of pieces and want to get some more.

Where are you, how big per piece, and how many?  Do you mind green?  I have a bunch of swatches from furniture stores.  Well, probably from the manufacturer to send to the stores since they are all the same color green.

Frankfort, Indiana. I don't mind green at all. I landed some stuff today down in Indy that's really nice but the green has my attention for sure. Do you have a picture?

Sorry, been a busy few days.  Size is 9" x 13".  Two punched holes in the top for binding in store.  Colors are listed as Loden and Jade.  They also have a sticker attached on the flesh side.
