Hair on hides are cow hides that have been tanned without removing the natural hair. HOH Wild Leopard hides are tanned using 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 the hides are tanned they are bleached to remove as much of the natural pigment and then dyed for color. The Leopard design is stenciled on the surface of the hair. Even though the hides are bleached and then dyed for color the base color for these articles will vary. Make sure you understand these hides will have color variation from hide to hide and within the hide. 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 is 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.
