| Notes for Finishing on Goat Skin |
||
| Our
Chieftain, Hand Grain, Fair and Rough Goats all lend themselves well to
the application of metallic, pigmented and genuine gold foils, Gold
Leaf and to Blind Tooling. However, due to the finish that we apply to
our Smooth, Glazed and Embossed Goats, Gold Leaf and Blind Tooling can
not normally be applied by the end-user. If your own finishing
requirements for these three leathers do involve the application of
Gold Leaf, we would need to finish these leathers for you using a
different process. Please contact us for further details at info@calintec.com. Alum Tawed Goat can only have Gold Leaf applied to it. |

| Chieftain Goat The raw skins originate from India and the surrounding areas. The skins have a natural shrunken grain, similar to traditional Levant grain, with a natural polished finish. This leather is retanned with the addition of aluminum salts in order to produce an archival tannage with outstanding durability. The leather is aniline dyed and has a semi-transparent finish. Average Skin Size: 0.60 - 0.68m² (6½ - 7¼ft²) Approx. Cut Size: 68 x 57 cm Standard Substance: 1.0 mm Colours available: 15 standard shades plus grey and purple Grades: I, II and III |

| Straight Grain Aniline Goat Aniline Straight Grain Goats skins are synonymous with 18th and 19th Century French bindings. Our skins are tanned and dyed and left with a semi-transparent finish.

It will take both gold leaf and foil and can also be blind-tooled. Average Skin Size: 0.60 - 0.68m² (6½ - 7¼ft²) Approx.
