suede leather hides for sale

Suede is a type of split leather; in fact, it is the hide's innermost layer. It is most commonly derived from sheep, but it can also be derived from deer, goats, and calves. Thicker hides have the same feel as thinner hides but become shaggier rather than napped. To make a thin, soft material, the thin innermost layer is removed. Technically, this layer does not have to be removed; however, doing so would result in a thicker, less pliable leather, which is typically not preferred for suede products.
