From Cessnas to 737s: Hydes Leather Has Aviation Interiors Covered

Auto upholsterers already turn to Hydes Leather for its extensive range of automotive-grade hides. But the company is also flying high in another space: aviation interiors.

Hydes offers a comprehensive line of European aviation leathers designed specifically for premium aircraft cabins. The range includes several grain options and more than 150 different colors, giving trim shops and designers plenty of flexibility when it comes to dialing in the exact look and feel for a project.

And of course, aviation interiors come with strict safety requirements. Hydes says all of its aviation leather and Alcantara can be supplied with FAA/FAR burn certifications on request, at no additional cost.

Materials for everything from small planes to airliners

Hydes isn’t just dabbling in aviation projects. The company has already supplied materials for hundreds of custom aircraft interiors — everything from two-seat Cessnas all the way up to Boeing 737s.

Along with its stocked collections, Hydes can also help customers with custom color matching and bespoke leather developments when a project requires specific design or performance criteria.

Among Hydes Leather’s most popular aviation collections are:

Altitude Collection: This Nappa leather is designed to be both soft and durable. It offers an opulent feel while also meeting FAA approval requirements.
Basis-Tec Collection: Built with durability and versatility in mind, Basis-Tec is made specifically for aviation use.
Thema Collection: A soft and supple Italian Nappa leather available in a wide range of colors, with FAR burn certifications available.
Alcantara Avant: The aviation version of Alcantara, treated to meet FAR 25.853 fire-rating standards.

Customization options

Of course, customization plays a big role in aviation interiors. To that end, Hydes offers custom embroidery and perforation across its leather and Alcantara collections for projects that need something extra special.
