Leather questions, answered

How many hides do I need?
One hide covers roughly 2–3.5 yards of 54″ fabric depending on the line — every product page has a yardage calculator that converts your fabric estimate to hides.

What is FAR 25.853 leather?
Leather pre-treated to pass the FAA's flammability standard for aircraft cabin interiors. Our Slipstream line ships with burn documentation available for your logbook — it's the only line we certify for aviation use.

Can I use this on motorcycle seats?
Yes — Sidecar is water-resistant and FMVSS 302 rated, made for motorcycle seats, automotive interiors, and outdoor cushions.

Do I get the exact cowhide pictured?
For Hair on Hide, yes — every rug listing is photographed individually and you receive that exact hide. For upholstery leather, expect natural dye-lot and grain variation; order a sample first to confirm color.
