Slipstream Aviation Leather — Full Hide (32 Colors)

Slipstream is Carolyn Fabrics' aircraft upholstery leather for seats and cabin-interior panels. Each 50–55 sq ft full hide is $725 with free US shipping and includes Carolyn Fabrics-branded manufacturer production-order documentation matched to the shipped color and dye lot.

The included documentation records the leather material's FAR 25.853 12-second vertical test results. It is not FAA approval of an aircraft, seat, or finished installation. The installer and applicable approval authority determine acceptability for the specific project.

• Material documentation: Matching burn-test documentation is included with every full hide. The documentation applies to the material, not the finished installation.
• Hide: Premium German and Austrian hides with exceptional yield and an even, round pebble grain
• Weight: 3.5–3.75 oz (1.4–1.6 mm) · chrome tanned · 100% aniline drum dyed · protected finish
• Durability: rated High Traffic / Contract — 50,000 flex cycles, lightfastness grade 5–6, tear strength >20 N
• Care: damp cloth with mild soap or leather cleaner

How much material is one hide? A 50–55 sq ft Slipstream hide typically plans as about 2.5–3 yards of 54-inch upholstery fabric using the trade rule of 18 sq ft per yard. Natural hide shape, markings, panel size, matching, and cutting layout can change usable yield. Call 336-887-3101 with the job's fabric estimate and we will help convert it to full hides.

A note on natural leather: Leather is a natural product, not a synthetic vinyl. Full-hide sizes vary (approximately 50–55 sq ft), and color can vary slightly between dye lots and from how it appears on your screen. Natural hides may also show subtle range markings that are the hallmark of genuine leather. Use the $5 selected-color real-leather swatch or the $25 complete deck to confirm color in hand before ordering a full hide.
