Notes for Finishing on Goat Skin
|
Our Chieftain, Hand Grain, Fair and Rough Goats all lend themselves well to the application of metallic, pigmented and genuine gold foils, Gold Leaf and to Blind Tooling. However, due to the finish that we apply to our Smooth, Glazed and Embossed Goats, Gold Leaf and Blind Tooling can not normally be applied by the end-user. If your own finishing requirements for these three leathers do involve the application of Gold Leaf, we would need to finish these leathers for you using a different process. Please contact us for further details at sales@hewit.com. Alum Tawed Goat can only have Gold Leaf applied to it.
