• Yield: Moderate 75%+, With a natural product like leather, there can be areas with neck and back wrinkles, veins, scars, bites, loose grain, but in general this article can expect an overall high cutting area. Whole hides and sides do include bellies where there can be some loose grain. This leather being full aniline (meaning the leather is very natural with no extra finishing on the surface to hide any flaws) darker colors will better hide any areas of concern. A key skill of using full aniline leather is the ability to work less desirable areas of the hide into the less visible areas of your projects. Overall this leather has a moderately high cutting yield

Novonappa is a special double tanned article. It is full grain and full aniline, meaning their is not added pigment to the surface of the leather. This natural finish means it will develop that beautiful darkening patina over time. Novonappa Foulonne has a special pebble grain that comes from an embossing. The pebbling is consistent and has a nice round shape. The firmness of the leather has a nice balance between firm and supple, giving its products like handbags some structure while not being too rigid.
