Saddle Leather
Vegetable-tanned cattlehide leather for harnesses and saddles, usually of a natural tan shade and rather flexible.
Sauvage
A coloring effect created by blending two similar dyes to create a mottled or marbled appearance.
Semi-Aniline
Aniline leather to which a matching pigment layer is added to even out the color and add protection.
Shrunken Grain
A full, natural-grain leather which is shrunken to enlarge and enhance the grain of the leather.
Side Leather
Leather made from one half, or "side", of a full hide. Typically refers to leather whose top grain (outermost layer) has been left intact.
Split Leather
Leather made from the lower (inner or flesh side) layers of a hide that have been split away from the upper, or grain, layers. Split leather is more fragile than side leather or full-grain leather, and is typically used in the form of suede.
