DESCRIPTION

Chevre "Indigo" Goat Leather comes from the Alran Tannery in France. It has been dyed with Indigo in a unique process developed to create that denim like finish. The Alran tannery has been producing some of the finest goat leather for luxury brands for over 100 years. They are well known for their premium goat leather and the beautiful colors they are able to produce. 

This goat leather is their top grade. The leather is tanned in a full veg-tanned crust and then retanned and dyed with some mineral tannage to add softness and strength at thinner thicknesses. The tanning process involves a unique 23 step process that takes over 3 weeks to produce each hide. This special process involves a lot of hands and working the leather to give it the beautiful grain, soft supple feel and an even color. The grain has a natural texture that adds beautiful depth to the leather. It is easy to cut and skive.  

USES

Small leather goods, bags, wallets, linings & book covers

*Please note some hides have a more narrow clean center area than others. Please confirm with us before splitting if you have any size limitations and we can ensure you will receive the right hide.

THICKNESS

  • 2.75oz (1.1mm +/- 0.2mm)

LEATHER SPLITTING

  • Leather splitting is a custom service available down to your preferred thickness
  • Please note split leather can't be returned
  • There is a tolerance to leather splitting. While we have invested a lot of time and training into hitting a tighter tolerance range than advertised, sometimes the  leather articles and differing densities require the full tolerance range. 
  • Leather tolerance is denoted by +/- which means the leather can be both above and below that number by the denoted amount.
    • Example 1.2mm +/- 0.1mm.
    • This means that the leather could come anywhere ranging from 1.1-1.3mm across the hide. Most the time this amount is indiscernible to the naked eye, but should be noted if measuring with precise equipment
  • How we gauge the leather is with a thickness gauge that can reach both the edges and middle of the hide. We apply a moderate amount of pressure (Not too hard and not too soft)
  • Again we are usually well inside the range, especially on panels, but occasionally need the full range. Tolerance ranges are as follows: 
    • Splitting Panels: +/- (0.1mm).
    • Splitting Full Hides & Half Hides:  +/- 0.15mm
    • No Splitting (From Tannery Splitter):  +/- 0.2mm
  • The width of our splitter is 30 inches. If you have a hide that is larger we will trim the hide to fit and return you both pieces. We cut off the belly section leaving you the nicest area of the hide in tact.
  • Due to it requiring often multiple passes we do not send the split flesh part.
