kellyblues Report post Posted March 14, 2017 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thornton Report post Posted March 14, 2017 Looks like upholstery leather to me. It should be chrome tanned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited March 14, 2017 by fredk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kellyblues Report post Posted March 16, 2017 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
