Hydes Leather
Hydes Leather isn’t just North America’s leading source for OEM leathers, they also do custom dyeing, color-matching, perforation, embossing, etching, embroidery, skiving and weaving.
Hydes only deals with high-grade leather treated specifically for use in automobiles. They selected their products from the highest-quality raw materials. Their premium tanneries use light, breathable protective coatings for wear resistance and UV protection — not the heavy plastic-feeling top coat you’ll find on inferior products.
What’s more, Hydes‘ only sources its products from cattle farms where the climate is cold and the caretakers use European farming practices. This ensures the leather is thick and strong, and there are less bug bites and no barbed wire blemishes for trimmers to cut around. The result is higher yields from every hide, less waste, less environmental impact and more profit for shops.
