Leather We Use

At Vanson Leather Jacket, we use premium quality Full Grain Semi-Aniline Leather for our apparel which is soft yet durable. Our Top Quality Leather comes from Sheepskins  – Livestock for meat industry. However, we have the ability to make jackets in Cow hide, Calf leather or Lambskin, should you wish to choose one. If you would like to go with a leather of your choice, please contact our live customer service agent on bottom right corner of your screen or send an email to info@vansonleatherjacket@gmail.com, and our designer will get in touch with you.

Please note that no animals were purposely killed to produce leather by the tanneries we buy our leather from. Our leather comes from the animals we use to produce meat only.

WHY SEMI-ANILINE LEATHER

Semi-Aniline leather is a natural looking premium quality leather with some of the unique surface characteristics of the animal hide remaining visible. This type of leather may contain a small amount of pigment in the surface coating. This will give some degree of extra protection but some shade variation should be expected. 

The pigment layer is very thin and the pores and creases of the hide show through but because it sits on top of the leather, brighter, more intense color can be achieved.  The clear layer on top, also called varnish or lacquer can have a different degree of shine and is acrylic-based to remain flexible and move with the leather.  This final layer is most important.  It determines the long term appearance of semi-aniline leather.

Unlike other manufacturers, we do not apply any polish on the final product that reduces the natural characteristics of leather and make the jackets look glossy. you definitely don’t want that because leather is a natural material that requires air to breath. And for that reason, we offer free breathable coat bag and hanger with every purchase to preserve your lifetime investment.

Most of our customers who admire this natural product simply love the smell of leather, that makes them feel like they are wearing something that is pure and belongs to nature.
