Hair on hide Cheetah is cow hides that have been stenciled to look like a Cheetah. HOH Cheetah hides have a specific tanning process to retain the hair. During the tanning process the hides are treated with oils in order to keep them as soft as possible. After tanning these hides are bleached and dyed for color and then a stencil with the Cheetah design. Even though the hides are bleached and then dyed for color the base color for these articles will vary. Understand that color variation should be expected from hide to hide and within the hide. Hair on Hides are natural and will always retain some of the natural pigments that will keep the individuality of each hide in tack. Remember, that when dying hair the color is absorbed differently in each strand of hair and the pigment left behind in each strand will affect the way the hair takes the color. HOH are great for upholstery and as rugs because they require little maintenance. HOH are a category that is not tested to have any specific leather specifications. Note that they can fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight and the hair & color will dissipate with use in the high traffic areas.
We recommend the LCK care and maintenance kit.
