Cover Leathers

Tip: Do you want your Bible’s cover to patina, or do you want your Bible’s cover to resist scratches and scuffs? Goatskin and kangaroo leathers are two of the most resistant leathers to scratching and scuffing. Use goatskin or kangaroo leather if you prefer a more “pristine” cover. Use cowhide leather if you want a Bible cover that will patina.

This veg tan leather is their top grade, it is full grain and has a nice supple feel with a small amount of firmness. Minerva Box is a vacchetta leather that is infused with special blend of Italian fat wax giving it the famous hand and feel attributed with the vacchetta name. The grain has a natural pebbled texture that adds beautiful depth to the leather. Because it a natural pebble grain, it may have some slight variation throughout the hide.

Minerva Box leather is dry milled (Tumbled), meaning this leather undergoes a tumbling process in heated drums, resulting in a softer feel, a wrinkled texture, and a distressed appearance. Milling is a process that allows individual hide to produce its own naturally unique grain. Sizing and irregularity is variable and will depend on the dermal fiber and thickness of the hides.

Badalassi Carlo Waxy Pull-Up Cowhide

Badalassi Carlo Waxy Pull-Up Cowhide is a waxy Vegetable Tanned Leather comes from the Badalassi Carlo Tannery in Italy. Pull Up leather is a type of leather that is colored with dyes that are sealed using natural oils and/or waxes instead of paints, pigments and top coats, which gives the leather a very soft feel. When this leather is stretched or pulled, the color migrates and becomes lighter in the pulled areas. It has a unique natural appearance which lightens in color when stretched to produce a unique worn-in effect with time. Due to this soft and scratch-sensitive finish, the leather quickly gets a beautiful vintage-patina.

Levant Goatskin

Levant goatskin hasn’t been readily available since before World War II. Careful attempts to master the techniques used to create this leather have been developed by the same supplier that creates Sokoto Traditional goatskin. Using an original Levant hide to reference, they believe, after several years of trials, that they have replicated the process. This newer Levant has a great look and feel. It has a soft temper, great flexibility, grain, and color.

Levant goatskin has a heavier grain than any other goatskin currently available. The heavy grain characteristic comes from shrinking the skins during the tanning process, (not from some “grain manipulation”). Absolutely no grain manipulation either by machine or by hand is used to create this heavy grain.
